My favourite tour in Vietnam and easily the best food I had here. I would have never known to go to any of these places based on online research alone. Tony is also a really authentic and lovely to speak to. You will not regret picking this one.
Amazing knowledge, great little spots, confidence you were being shown some authentic food. Tony is a great guide and a awesome person. Food was diverse and 10/10
loved my food tour with tony!! we tried so many different dishes at local spots i would have never gone to on my own. also tried so many things i wouldn’t have ever bought on my own that ended up being my favorite!!!
Great experience tasting things we hadn’t eaten before - Tony was wonderful and informative- lots of fun
This is the best food tour we have ever been on! The food was amazing, but the highlight is Tony himself, sharing so much about the story behind the food and the culture of Vietnam. Book it now you will not regret it!!
We had the most incredible time doing this tour with Tony, he is absolutely amazing! We done the timeless tour and the food was all delicious, in some really hidden spots but what made the experience was Tony’s knowledge, he shared so much about the local culture and was really enthusiastic/passionate! I would 100% recommend doing the food tour with Tony!
Tony was amazing. He provided insight, stories, education, and so much fun on the tour. It was a small group which felt amazing. We took our time, chatted a lot, and ate some truly delicious food. He brought us to hidden gems, including beef noodle soup in someone’s living room. What a treat. Definitely book this tour with Tony to help learn how street food works and to make the most of your street food experience in Hanoi.
Amazing. Tony brought us to wonderful places. Places I would never venture into or find. Not only were all the dishes delicious, but Tony also taught us how to eat the dishes- like chopsticks in one hand and spoon in the other! He also taught us how to personalize the foods to our liking. He is a great teacher! The time was well paced, not to fast or slow. And, I didn’t feel obligated to eat all food presented. Would highly recommend this tour. Do it at soon as you can after arriving in Hanoi and you will be happy.
A fantastic food tour through the streets of Hanoi with Tony, a kind, charismatic and knowledgeable guide who introduced us to multiple delicious foods. We took our 9 month son with us, and were made to feel so welcome from Tony and all the shop owners due to Tony’s strong relationships. Cannot recommend more!
Really informative and fun! We are very glad we did this tour with Tony. He took us to many hidden spots in places we never would have discovered on our own. Be prepared to venture down narrow alleys and keep pace on the busy streets and your reward will be delicious bites and interesting history and stories! We found this one a fun adventure that left us full & satisfied. Tony is fun too. Do it!
