Itinerary
We start our excellent street food walking tour at 78a Tran Nhat Duat Street at Kim Tours's Building in old quarter of Hanoi. Along the perimeter of the market, dozens of street hawkers sell a staggering variety of produce from live seafood to exotic fruits and spices. Your expert English-speaking local guide will give you an insight into the intricacies and traditions of Vietnamese food culture including details on ingredients and historical backgrounds of popular northern dishes. We eat as we go, trying seasonal fruits and sampling a tasty French-inspired snack from a street cart. Walking through the maze of bustling streets that make up Hanoi’s Old Quarter, we tempt our tastebuds with the famed Hanoi dish Banh Cuon at a local eatery. Watch in awe as the skilled chefs demonstrate for you how this tasty dish is put together. Continuing into the atmospheric heart of the Old Quarter, we wander past street stalls and quiet residential lanes where you can observe local life

It was very fun and relaxing experience and our guide Apple was very friendly, sincere, and informative!
Really enjoyed this tour. We had 7 stops at small local eateries having taste's of different Vietnamese food including local pancake, beef noodle soup, sweet donuts and egg coffee. It gave us the chance to visit the type of places we might not have visited on our own. The tour was well led by our host, Sarah who was friendly and knowledgeable. We had a couple of Europeans on the tour who were also good company which made for a pleasant evening. Plenty of good food and some interesting insights into Vietnamese life from Sarah.
My partner and I had the best day ever in Hanoi because of this tour. Our tour guide Summi took us to such awesome spots that we would not have known about and she explained so much to us about the wonderful history of Hanoi. We felt like locals for the day :) I will definitely be recommending this tour to friends and family who are wanting to visit Vietnam! Thanks again Summi, you were amazing!!!
My partner and I booked a private tour with Sunni. I am definitely not someone with experience on a scooter so I was somewhat apprehensive before beginning our tour… however wanted to explore all Hanoi had to offer. From the very first moment, Sunni made me me feel comfortable and at ease. I instantly felt safe travelling by scooter (in fact safer than walking as a pedestrian) not a detail was missed throughout the tour! Not only did we try amazing local street food which we would never of discovered alone however it felt as if we had a private sightseeing tour. It was honestly one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Such a highlight of our trip and it’s only been day 2! I highly recommend this your to anyone wanting to explore the city like a true local. Thank you so much Sunni and Tracey!!!
Helen was more than amazing very fluent with English , and her choices of food made our day . I can’t say which is my favorite. Because all of the food was grea
Excellent Guide, food was interesting and enjoyable including the sand worms! Worthwhile tour and the food did vary but mostly enjoyable.
It started fishy and just went bed. We started the tour at some fishy tour agency, the tour guide was not knowledgeable at all and walk with her pajama. We just went from one place to place, no explanation and barley any interaction from the guide. One of our friends could not have pork, and mentioned it again and again. However, in the end with one of the dishes had pork…
Very boring tour, with no real connection to the city. In addition, we were only traveling in one district and did not really see anything. Nor has anyone learned about the story. Unfortunately really not good :/
Tour company was not did not reply to any communication at all. Had to meet them at their office in a busy area. Tour guide did her best but only 1 noodle place was good. The rest wasn’t great at all.
Great experience. Had a blast! Be ready with an empty stomach and walking shoes! Our tour guide Sara was great!
