I had an amazing food tour in Hanoi and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city. The food experience was incredible—we got to try a wide variety of authentic local dishes, each more delicious than the last. It was a great way to explore the culture through its cuisine. Our guide, Emily, was fantastic. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience fun and engaging. She shared interesting stories about the food and the city, which made the tour even more special. Overall, it was a memorable experience and definitely one of the highlights of my trip!

We really enjoyed our evening food tour with Emily. We tried 7 different local dishes of Hanoi. Emily has a lot of knowledge of the food & how it is prepared & we feel we had an authentic Hanoian experience. The Egg chocolate at the end was amazing. Highly recommend this tour with Emily!!
We really enjoyed our Eat Like a Local street food tour with Emily and would definitely recommend it to everyone! Emily was a brilliant guide and we learnt so much about Vietnamese culture and Hanoi street food. I am vegetarian but my husband isn’t, so Emily tailored the tour so that we could both eat well and even try dishes together where possible (for example by selecting dishes that had both a meat and veggie equivalent). We got to try lots of local specialities and seasonal foods, and were completely full by the end of the tour! It was a great introduction to street food and gave us the confidence to be more adventurous for the rest of the holiday. Thanks so much, Emily - we hope to see you again in the future!
We had a brilliant food tour with Emily. She was open, friendly and genuine. In just a few hours, she taught us tonnes about the Hanoi food scene and Vietnamese culture, and we could tell she really believed in and stood by the places she took us. She showed us how the locals really eat and gave us recommendations and confidence to continue exploring after the tour. Would recommend the experience to every food lover!
We’ve had Food Tour with Emily and she certainly took great care about my family. I can only highly recommend her and Hanoi tour agency. We had the best eff coffee ever! All trips we have chosen with this agency were as per the description, in time and perfectly coordinated. We had airport pickup arranged and also Ninh Binh tour. Alex was fun as well. Cannot think of any flaws, only praises. BR, Vladka

We had such an amazing food tour with Emily on our first day in Hanoi and Vietnam. It was such a wonderful way of getting to know the city and the food, and Emily was a brilliant guide! We tried such a good range of food - savoury and sweet. Would highly recommend, especially on your first day!
Great food tour around the Old Quarter with Emily. She showed us dry pho (my new favorite dish) which I would probably not have discovered on my own, along with several other tasty items, including a dessert shop with coconut ice cream and pandan sticky rice (yum). Very worth it if you are in Hanoi.

The food tour with Emily was a fantastic experience. We visited various eateries in the old quarter and got to savour local delicacies. Emily was friendly, knowledgeable and she takes pride in showcasing the local food that she grew up eating. Highly recommend the food tour and doing it early in your trip. It’s a great way to explore the old quarter and immerse yourself in the local culture.
Thoroughly enjoyed our Hanoi food tour with Emily last night. We tried a range of local Hanoi meals, including mains, dessert and snacks. Emily was a top host, personable, knowledgeable and her passion for her local cuisine really shone through. Thank you Emily.
We booked a small tour (max 8 people) with Emily (she speaks very good english) and ended up being only 2 and getting a private tour. She brought us to several places appreciated by locals but also based on her preferences to taste banh mi, shrimp donut, egg cocoa/coffee, pillow pastry, dry phó, summer/spring rolls to make yourself and coconut ice-cream with sticky rice (if anything is not compatible with your diet, please tell her and she will adjust the tour for you). She also gave us some additional information about Hanoi and Vietnam history from a local point of view. We highly recommend the tour with her if the occasion presents itself. Thanks again for the tour !
Emily was a great food tour guide and accommodated our varying dietary requirements. We had some really good food on this tour
Emily in Hanoi was the best tour guide. She brought us to local places and made us try things we would have never been able to try/find by ourselves. She also shared a lot of information about vietnamese daily life and her experiences. She made our day!! Thank you Emily ❤️
This was the best experience in Hanoi. Emily was the best tour, she took us to amazing places with amazing food. One were vegetarian and she was able to fit everything. After 5 days here had the best meals. Thank you Emily really much.
Emily was able to tell us a lot about local food culture in Hanoi and had us try many things we still hadn't had after 3 weeks in Vietnam. We loved all of it!
We had a great time! Emily was very thoughtful and clearly knows Hanoi’s food culture. She tailored our tour to what we like and what she thought would be great new experiences. She was excited to give us tips and suggestions for the rest of our stay, and her enthusiasm was contagious. I would give her 10 stars if I could.

Highly recommend!! Emily our tour guide was amazing and showed us all of the best foods and places we would not have otherwise tried. It was my partner and I and only one other person in the group which meant that we were able to learn heaps about the food and Vietnam. I loved all of the dishes and Emily also made sure to cater to my dietary requirements without me missing out.
Had a great experience with Emily our tour guide, was awesome to have the true Vietnam food experience. Would highly recommend!!
Emily is the best! So much knowledge and we went to the most authentic places! Come hungry. Food is delicious! 7 different dishes and they were all fantastic!
Fantastic. Stalls you would never find, or pass without knowing their quality. And a great social discussing the history of Vietnamese food and the role it plays in the family. The best Banh Mi ever! Emily was truly excellent and we'll be keeping in touch for recommendations in other places around Vietnam. Book with Emily and you will not be disappointed.
