This was the highlight of my time in Hà Nội. The food was excellent, every dish wowed us. We tried dishes we would never have gotten to experience and learnt alot about the history and culture of Hà Nội. Phoenix was the most incredible guide it was like having dinner with a friend she is warm and funny and created a beautuful energy within our group. Do yourself a favour and book this tour!

Phoenix was amazing and everything was delicious (and all our dietaries were catered for too), a must do!
Great experience with DELICIOUS food, highly recommend! Our guide Pheonix was super fun, friendly and made it unforgettable😄
I am so glad that I have joined the tour. Our tour guide (Phoenix) took us 5-6 local family restaurants which we would have never found by ourselves. It was very good experience to try various local Vietnamese food. Phoenix explained about all the food, culture and history of Vietnam. She was an excellent tour guide. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you, Phoenix!

Phan was excellent. He was personable and knowledgeable about the food and it's history. While raining between food tastes - it was a lot of fun with a full stomach.
Kien was a Great Tour guide and Shows us some great food spots and told us intresting storys about him and his Culture.
We had the best tour with Stella! She was so knowledgeable about the food and history of Vietnam. She also helped us avoid peanuts due to an allergy. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hanoi.
This was so fun!! If you go, ask for Bim as your tour guide. Literally the best tour guide ever!! The food was amazing and truly the best food we’ve had in Vietnam. I wish we would’ve done this on our first day.
Stella was an excellent guide! Very friendly and knowledgable. She took us around to several local spots and told us about the delicious food. Thank you Stella!
Kevin was a great tour guide. We tried 6 delicious foods and ended the tour with an egg coffee demonstration. We would highly recommend this tour!
We had a great experience with Kevin. He took us to places and introduced us to places and foods that we would never have ventured into.
Kevin was a great guide and took us to places we would have never tried on our own. Each stop had great food and a wide variety. We learned a lot about the food culture and ingredients as well. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!!!
Kevin was the best! Took us to places we would not have gone on our own! The food and experience was outstanding! Thanks Kevin for waiting for us for half and hour.
Kevin was an awesome food tour guide. We tasted the best street food and it was a great experience. He was patient while helping us navigate the crowds and waited until we were safe back in our cabs. take the food tour with him!
Phoenix was truly an incredible tour guide! This was genuinely the best food tour I’ve ever taken, and I got to try so many food I never would have tried myself. 10/10 recommend to anyone.
This was hands down the best food tour I’ve ever done!! The food was incredible & we got to try places that we would never think to stop in at ourselves. Our guide Phoenix was so sweet, she had amazing English skills, and truly made the trip incredible! I’m so so glad we booked this & highly recommend to anyone travelling to Hanoi!
All places we go are very good, we are enjoying the information and food we try. The food so delicious. Tried different spots that ranged from noodles to snacks. Thank you Kien!
Amazing time on the food tour my husband has a bad nut allergy so was anxious about trying food we were looked after brilliantly and my husband was delighted to try loads of food he wouldn’t have otherwise. Thank you very much and do not hesitate to book
We thoroughly enjoyed our food tour with Ceri! We were the only 2 with her, so it was a really good personal tour and we felt really comfortable to chat to Ceri about life in Vietnam as well. She took us to at least 6 stops, and made an effort to take us to Train Street as well. This is quite an experience so don't miss out on this. Also all the different dishes we got to try on this food tour was simply amazing and we certainly would not have had the courage to try these street food dishes had we not been accompanied by Ceri who patiently explained all about the food. This food tour is highly recommended and equally highly recommended is if your tour guide is Ceri!
Phoenix was great, took us to her local spots which is what we wanted (avoiding tourist traps). Plenty of food. She was very informative with good English.
Excellent food tour visiting 7 different places, mixture of savoury and sweet. Catered well for vegetarians. Our guide Phoenix was brilliant, knowledgeable and happy to answer questions
We had a fantastic experience on our food tour. Phoenix was incredibly friendly and great to talk to. She has excellent knowledge of the area and it was well organised. There was a good variety and amount of food. Would definitely recommend!
The food spots chosen were all really yummy! Ceri, our guide, was so knowledgeable about the foods we ate and a little Hanoi history too!
Coming from really only knowing Pho and Bahn Mi this was such an amazing experience! Everything was delicious! Just the right amount of food finished with desert and coffee! Our guide Ceri was super sweet and was very informative with geography, history, and extra information we did not know we needed, but are so thankful for her for sharing her knowledge!
The food tour included 5 different restaurants where we tried the signature dishes, all of the food was yum, especially the crispy pancakes! 🥰 Phoenix was very enthusiastic and provided a lot of interesting information about food culture in Vietnam and the dishes that we were eating. The visit to train street at the end of the tour was a fun unique experience. I would highly recommend this tour 😀
Excellent tour! Fantastic selection of food and really felt immersed in the Vietnamese culture, trying foods I wouldn’t normally try.
Phoenix our tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. The tour has well selected restaurant showcasing different Vietnamese dishes such as banh mi, banh xeo, banana fritter, egg coffee, spring rolls, etc. By the end I was full. My favorite now is the dry beef noodle salad I got to sample on the tour.
The food tour exceeded my expectations. Phoenix was very knowledgeable and engaging and took us to several amazing locations to try the local cuisine. My favorite was the beef salad and the banmi. A must if you're in Hanoi.
This was an amazing experience! Alex the tour guide was great, couldn’t have been better. Friendly and knowledgable. We tried 5 different amazing dishes, of which I probably wouldn’t have had the chance to try without being aware of them. We finished at train street, which made for a great experience. The other people on the tour were great, and as a solo traveller this was great way to meet new people. 10/10, do it if you are reading this!
Awesome experience with Lisa!!! She was super nice and informative! Today we tried: Bánh mỳ que (breadstick) Bánh mỳ trứng ngải (bread with fried egg and wormwood) Bánh cuốn nóng (steamed rice pancake) Phở trộn (dried phở) Bánh xèo (Vietnamese pancake) Cà phê trứng (egg coffee)
Great from start to finish, the food was amazing the guide was wonderful, thank you, worth every penny, I highly recommend this.
An amazing tour of traditional Vietnamese street food and the history behind them. This is a must for food lovers who want to experience a range of food, both savory and sweet. The drink at the end is a must for any coffee lovers and the hot chocolate alternative is perfect for those that dislike coffee. The guide is very informative and it's a good way to explore what the old quarter has to offer.
Phoenix brought us to try amazing foods that we hadn’t tried yet! We always got a special place to sit and she gave some explanations about everything! Would DEFINITELY recommend do you get everything out of your trip to Hanoi
We got to go to some very good restaurants and taste actual local food which was excellent, and we would have never try it unless we took the tour
Tour was amazing. Phoenix was lovely and explained everything. We stopped at six different spots and tried great local cuisine. Recommend you to come hungry. We had a great time.
Phoenix was a great tour guide. We went to six different places to try a variety of speciality dishes! Definitely do this tour early on to learn a few dishes and spots to eat, Phoenix also provided recommendations for dinner and other sightseeing activities. We were on a small tour with three other people, would highly recommend!
Perfect trip, it was great and very tasty, and everything was interesting. It was one of the most better tour we have been in Vietnam
It was a great tour! Ate very special and delicious dishes, and got an explanation about every place and every dish!😊❤️
Finix is the best, we loved the tour. She explained everything and was very kind and helpful in every thing she. We enjoyed the tour very much
I have a severe peanut allergy and was wandering the streets thinking there was almost nothing I could eat except pho and fruit. When I was offered to join this food tour I wasn't sure it was a good idea. Now I think it was necessary. Phoenix (our guide) was extremely helpful and understanding, she organised with each place ahead of time. It turns out there are more options for food than I first thought, and we were shown places I likely would not have found by myself, and which I have since returned to with friends. Very good experience regardless of if you're in the same situation as me, everyone there enjoyed it. Highly recommend and worth the money!
Max was our guide and did a good job. The tour was really good and we enjoyed it. A little bit more insight into the town from Max would have earned the 5 star. Overall, a great experience and would definitely recommend the tour. Thank you Max, we had a good time.
This tour kept us well fed! Every dish was a hit! This was our first day of the trip and was a great way to get introduced to Vietnam.
The best food tour in Hanoi!! If you want an experience of Vietnam food go with phoenix. She is the best and so nice. Go with her!
It was a good tour and delicious food, highly recommended! The guide was very nice and explained Vietnamese food well and clearly. Highly recommend.
It was excellent. Phoenix is the best. She explains very well and it's fun to talk to her during the tour. Highly recommended and delicious!!!
It was just amazing Thank you very much for the tour, the food was delicious and it was very interesting to visit all the local businesses in the town which are less touristy.
A lot of good and cheap places which show the varied food in Vietnam, and the guide was very nice and answered all of our questions
