I had a great tour of delicious Vietnamese food. Dulcie was very knowledgeable about the history of not only the food but the culture around it, as well. Will definitely book a tour again when I come back with my friends.

I got this as a birthday present for my 19th and really enjoyed it. Yen (the guide) was super knowledgeable and explained vietnamese customs to us aswell as joking with us. She also was very knowledgeable about Hanoi in general as was happy to give advise as to what to do afterwards. Ina was also amazing and will make an amazing guide once she's fully trained since her customer service and her English is already excellent. The food was all amazing and they were very good at accommodation dietary requirements.
We had a great time doing the walking food tour with our guide. Great pace and enjoyed the restaurants! Would recommend.
Host Kimmy was great! ***** 5 stars
Zahra did well as a guide and is a kind person
Zara and Olivia were both amazing! Very knowledgable about the food and history. Food restaurants were delicious.
Guide was brilliant (chris) food fantastic and at the sane time interesting . Far bit of walking, say 5-10 min between each stop , low seating , just in case mobility issues
Experience was great, food selection was great. Kimmy our guide was very detailed on the history of the culture.
The tour was interesting, the food and places we sat at were on the spot. The guide - kimii
Great time and great food! Kimmy our tour guide was very informative and helpful. We got to experience some authentic food and didn't have to worry about translation or what to order
Pilko was a fantastic guide, we learnt so much about Vietnamese culture and food and table manners it was a fun experience with a lot of yummy food. 1 tip, don’t eat breakfast before you go on this tour
Pilko was an excellent guide - we really enjoyed his tour and the restaurant choices were delicious
Selena was fantastic as a tour guide , knowledgeable of the area and foods .meals were very tasty and would recommended the eel noodles and coconut coffee
I had reservations at the beginning but was completely blown away towards the end. Imagine experiencing the best in class in Vietnamese cuisine without having to worry about the queue. Dining with friends and such knowledgeable guides like Ruby and Ben made it so much better. Thank you so much Ruby and Ben for sharing Vietnam with us and more! We can’t wait to come back!
We had a fantastic private food tour with Cya. She was incredible, with excellent communication about what we were eating, the history of Hanoi and local temples, and general advice for visiting the city. She shared so much more information than we usually get on a food tour. Her knowledge and personality made this tour really stand out. (We booked approximately four hours in advance, and Crossing Indochina did not disappoint.)
Our guide, Olivia, was so knowledgeable about everything Hanoi, its past, its present and most especially its food. She brought us to a few different places all within the old quarter and easily walkable. These are some foods we probably wouldn’t have tried on our own. She had so much insight into the flavours and complexities of each dish. It was an absolute delight to take part in this tour, thank you Olivia for your passion and dedication to your craft, it absolutely makes a difference. We would 10/10 recommend this tour!
Sarah is an amazing guide. Informative and friendly, describing the food and the history behind it. Food was so tasty, especially the pancakes and egg coffee. 10/10 would recommend.
Cya was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable and personable, a joy to been shown around by. I went for a private tour with my partner and we loved all the amazing food and history we were shown and taught. Could not recommend enough to any visitors to Hanoi!
Cya was an amazing guide! She took us to some really tasty restaurants and was very knowledgeable about Vietnamese culture and history! Cya also personalised the tour to include foods we hadn’t tried yet. It was great to be shown round by a local, I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hanoi :)
We just had the best morning!! The food tour was so great from start to finish. Ruby is so sweet and informative & we really enjoyed being with her. The food was unreal! Would highly recommend!
Maddy was very knowledgable about the food and culture. We had eel noodles, pho, bun cha and they were all very delicious! Highly recommend this tour to whoever wants to eat good food and hang out
Dulcie was our guide and he was fantastic. He talked with us the entire tour and gave us so much insight on the food we were about to eat and how to traditionally eat the dishes. He was very informative about the culture of Hanoi and was very personable.

I had a great time. Very pleasant company. My family had fun. Very articulate and accommodating.
We booked a Hanoi Old Quarter Michelin Street food tour for a 9:00 am start with a family of 2 adults, 2 tweens. We had a great time, the tour was well paced, the food choices were good with 3 tastings and 1 coffee/beverage to end the tour. Our tour guide Ruby was attentive to our needs, and was very informative about the food we were eating and answered all our questions about Hanoi's culture in general.
This was an amazing experience to enjoy authentic Vietnamese foods. Rose was a great tour guide!
Good price, very informative and so much delicioud food. This was recommended to me as the top thing to do in Hanoi and I loved it. Our guide Rose was sooo great!
Dulcie made this tour amazing. He gave us a rare point of view of the food and culture. A must tour if you'd like to know some hidden gems in the streets.
Yen was such an amazing guide! We went to the best spots and she was super knowledgeable about everything we were eating. Would definitely recommend this tour
The food was great, our tour guide Lafie was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had the opportunity to eat 3 dishes we never experienced before. Very excited to try these dishes more often. Well priced for our 2.5 hour walk around the old quarter. Thank you!
This was a wonderful food tour with a visit to the amazing train street. Kimmy was an amazing guide and explained everything very well which made the tour even more enjoyable.
Pilko was a great tour guide on our food tour. We went to four different places and he was able to recommend us the best meals to eat and the background of the food. We have left the tour with more knowledge about Vietnam and greater of appreciation of the food and people.
What a great tour! Pilko was our tour guide for the food tour. He was great and very attentive. Showed us the local customs and a little bit of history of Vietnam. The spots he showed us was definitely worth walking in the sweltering weather!
Quinn was fabulous for our private tour! Super nice and relaxed, asked interesting questions, and is really knowledgeable. The food spots were all delicious, and Quinn gave us some choice as well. Really recommend this tour, especially when on a shorter trip in Hanoi.
The perfect way of exploring Vietnamese cusisne. Dulcine was very friendly and communicative. Totally recommend 👌
We had such a great experience on our food tour with Chris! We booked pretty last-minute and weren’t sure whether we should just explore Hanoi on our own or go with a local, but we are so glad we decided to book this. Chris took us to some amazing local spots and was very knowledgeable about both the food and the history behind it. We learned a lot, ate some of the best food in Hanoi, and had such a fun time along the way. It felt less like a tour and more like spending the day with a new friend in Vietnam. We also learned an important lesson: make sure you ask for the right kind of phở 😂 Cảm ơn, Chris! Thank you for a memorable experience. We absolutely recommend this tour!
Rose and Oda were amazing! We were taken to so many great spots!
Great experience. Dulcie was very knowledgeable and friendly.
I had a guide Dulcie and they were very patient and kind 💓 Thank you so much for your time and for making the tour such a lovely experience! I really enjoyed learning about the food and culture 😊
