If you ever want to try something different in Hà Nội then give this food tour a go! We had a wonderful time with Viet who looked after us so well and took us to some out of the way places that we probably would not have tried. The food was amazing, train street was lively and interesting, and Viet was great company! It was like visiting a place with a family friend!
If you want to try authentic Vietnamese food, I highly recommend. The tour guide takes you to different places around Old Quarter. The reason why I didn't give 5 stars is because I tried contacting the tour consultant, but no answer. The tour guide said he will send photos and recommendations, but I didn't get any response.
The tour was great. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. He showed us all the local place to eat, would recommend him
Yummy food and amazing tour guide. 10/10 would reccomend. Dietary requirements and preferences all taken into account.
Max was happy to share local intel, along with excellent food and venue history. Train St was suddenly closed by police so visited the following afternoon independently.
Fantastic evening. Our guide, Linh, was very knowledgeable and the food was amazing . We visited several’off the beaten track’ venues we would never have found on our own and ended the evening with a beer on train street. Highly recommend- definitely ask for Linh x
With a lot of great remarks we were culinary in Hanoi’s old town today and were accompanied very attentively by Cherry 🍒. Thank you for this great tour!
Highly recommend this tour! Cherry was fantastic - knowledgeable and provided a great atmosphere. Great to try new foods and learn about the history.
Our guide, Luke, was exceptional. He brought us to local restaurants for our tastings. One was Michelin. Truly a tremendous experience. Luke was kind, courteous, funny, and took great photos! Come with an appetite. We actually did not eat after this tour we were so full.
It was a very nice experience and good introduction to Hanoi. Our guide was friendly and taught us some things about Vietnamese culture.
