Best tour ever!! We had an amazing time with Chris tasting the best food in Hanoi. He has so much knowledge on the city and you could tell how passionate he is about food, Vietnam and ensuring you have the best time. We laughed, we tried combos you would never think of putting together, we ate like locals, we became baristas for 30 mins. Couldn’t recommend Chris enough every tourist should do a tour with him ♥️
Chris’s food tour was a highlight of our time in Hanoi. As a chef, he has so much knowledge and took us to amazing local spots we would never have found on our own. Making coffee ourselves was a lot of fun, too. Chris is open, friendly and talkative, and he really takes the time to make the experience personal for the group. We had a great time and highly recommend him!
Wow. Chris is one of the best guides we have ever had. He is passionate and has heaps of knowledge of his city. He can talk about anything. He is a people person. The tour is great. You get to go to places tourists don't go. The food is fresh and tasty. You should also ask Chris about the cooking class he does. We did that as well. We learnt so much about Hanoi and it's culture from Chris. Thank you Chris. This tour is highly recommend.
Chris was an amazing guide and we had a great time. He is extremely knowledgeable about the city and country and has an amazing ability to tell stories. The food vendors he took us to were amazing, and he shared insights on each meal as well that really brings it to life. A truly great experience!
I did this walking tour in Hanoi with my parents and it was fantastic !! From the moment the tour started, our tour guide Chris made us feel completely welcome with his warmth, knowledge, and enthusiasm for the city. He was patient, kind, incredibly informative, and made every part of the experience feel engaging and personal. You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure everyone was enjoying themselves. We’ve done many walking tours over the years in different cities around the world, and this was honestly one of the best. Chris had the perfect balance of storytelling, history, humour, and local insight, and we came away feeling like we understood Hanoi on a much deeper level. The egg coffee demonstration was also such a fun and memorable touch! What really stood out was how thoughtful he was throughout the tour - even fanning us in the Hanoi heat to keep us comfortable! It’s little things like that that made the experience feel so genuine and special. We enjoyed the tour so much that we actually wanted to book another one with Chris the following day, but he was already booked for another tour. Thank you Chris for giving us such a fantastic start to Hanoi. We absolutely loved the tour and would recommend it to anyone visiting the city.
This was the best tour experience we had while travelling Vietnam. We did the walking tour with Chris. Chris is an excellent tour guide, so full of knowledge, so personable and thoughtful with every step. This tour not only an insight into Hanoi’s history but its folklore, culture and food. We learnt a lot and got to experience an egg coffee making workshop and try some local fruit. We had a great time under the care of Chris and I would recommend ever to do this tour when in Hanoi.
We did two tours with Chris, one a walking tour and the other a nighttime food tour. Chris was very informative and friendly and gave us some tips and recommendations to help make our stay here more special. We would highly recommend these tours with Chris.
I truly enjoyed the walk through the Old Quarter with Chris. He made the tour engaging, shared fascinating insights, and created a very relaxed atmosphere. A highlight was his demonstration of the famous egg coffee — such a fun and unique touch! Chris is incredibly knowledgeable. He also shared great dining suggestions. A fantastic experience all around!
Chris is a remarkable person, both professionally and personally. I joined him for a walking tour around the Old Quarter, and later ended up doing a private 1:1 tour through some of Hanoi’s more unexplored neighbourhoods. Both tours were extremely high quality and clearly tailored to what I wanted to see. Chris’s personal stories and insights made the experience feel authentic, relatable, and refreshingly unique. It also helps that he has travelled extensively around the world, which allows him to compare and contrast cultures in a really thoughtful way. He comes with my highest recommendation — without a doubt, Chris is the best guide in Hanoi.
This was the most personalized and fun experience during my trip to Hanoi. I would highly recommend it to anyone, especially foodies and solo travelers. Chris is very friendly and knowledgeable, and thanks to this tour I tried Vietnamese dishes I never would have discovered on my own.
Absolutely amazing, would recommend to anyone visiting Hanoi or even a local to the city. Chris took me around the town and explained each dish so well
We enjoyed our Old Quarter walking tour with Chris. He’s knowledgeable, fun and very friendly! He also gave us good restaurant recommendations and general advice which were very helpful. Highly recommended!
We did the walking French quarter tour with Chris and it was spectacular! Chris is a tour guide/chef and extremely knowledgeable of this city and food culture. He added some touches of his own to the tour with a true egg coffee making demonstration and some behind the scenes local sites. If we had had more time, we would have done the Hanoi walking food tour with him. All that to say, this tour is highly recommended. Thank you chris
Chris was so knowledgeable and kind. He had expert knowledge of Vietnam’s history and took us through various streets and the major marketplace. He treated us with a surprise demonstration of his recipe for egg coffee, salt coffee, and hot chocolate and was very accommodating for our diet restrictions. So delicious! This walking tour is a must, especially with Chris!
Chris our tour guide was amazing, very knowledgeable and made the tour really interesting. His egg coffee making was fantastic and not something to be missed.
We did the walking tour with Chris and it was fantastic. This was our first day in Hà Nội and he showed us around and even showed us how to make egg coffee. We would highly recommend this tour to everyone who is interested in getting to some information about history, the city itself, culture and food :)
Great guide! Super helpful and informative. We really enjoyed the tour we had with Chris and truly recommend it. We also had a pit stop where he showed us how to do the typical Vietnamese Egg Coffee. If you are around Hanoi and are looking for a guide, I couldn’t recommend more Chris!
Chris was an amazing tour guide! He not only introduced us to great local food spots but I also learnt a lot about Vietnamese culture. Definitely recommend! In the end he made us egg cocoa, which was my personal favourite. Thank you Chris! :)
Amazing tour with Chris! He showed us the most famous dishes in Hanoi from his favorite restaurants. All the food was incredible!!
This was an excellent food tour and great introduction to local food stalls in Hanoi. Chris was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. Would recommend this tour to anyone interested in exploring the local food scene in Hanoi!
The food tour with Chris was amazing and a great way to introduce me to the local cuisine and dishes I was not aware of. I highly recommend!
Chris is very friendly and patient and even made egg coffee for us! Highly recommend booking a tour with him, he also makes it a point to help you post tour with other recommendations. Thank you Chris!
Chris was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. His knowledge of the city, history and culture is to be admired. We had our 6 year old son with us on the tour and Chris made him feel special
My sister and I had a food tour with Chris. I must say the experience is well thought out! We tried 9 dishes in total, but since most of the dishes were light and refreshing, we managed to appreciate all the food we ate. Chris is very informative and since he is also a chef, he has shown us how to eat and appreciate each dish. I am happy to have booked this experience and it is very worth it! My sister and I loved it so much. All the best to Chris!
Incredible walking tour! Chris was so welcoming and knowledgeable about Vietnamese food. His passion was infectious and he made our whole tour memorable. The food we sampled was incredible and Chris explained a little history and method behind each dish. We have done a number of food tours around the world, and this is one of the best! Highly highly recommend and the highlight of our trip to Vietnam.
Chris was so knowledgeable about the culture and the food! He talked about it with such enthusiasm and so much passion. It was another beautiful memory and a truly unforgettable experience. If I were walking through the city alone, I wouldn't have quickly chosen these delicious little food spots, but everything was absolutely super tasty!
Excellent, the experience has been very good and totally recommended, it was all really spectacular. Cris has been an excellent guide, explained everything very well.
