The tour visited many interesting places, closely related to the local culture, enjoyed delicious and diverse local dishes, and met many local people. My kids very like it.
Everything was well-organized, and the guide was super friendly and knowledgeable about local dishes. We stopped at several small spots I would never have found on my own, and every bite felt like a little surprise. My favorite part was trying the street food—simple but full of flavor. Each place had its own charm, and the portions were just right so I could taste a bit of everything without feeling too full. I also loved how the guide shared small stories about the area; it made the whole experience feel more personal. Overall, it was a really enjoyable tour. If you want something relaxed, delicious, and worth your time, I definitely recommend giving it a try.
This wasn’t just a food tour; it was a cultural adventure. Our guide shared stories about Hanoi’s history, architecture, and people while leading us from one hidden eatery to another. The food was incredible — especially the banh mi and egg coffee! Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience Hanoi like a local.
