Our tour guide Chip was awesome, she shared so many details about Hanoi and Vietnam that was great to learn about the dishes we ate. You can really tell how passionate she is about the food and making sure everyone has a great time. I honestly wouldn’t recommend any one other than Chip! Only thing we wish we did different was do the tour guide on our first night because we would have gone back to all those places over and over again! 10/10

Dan was a fantastic tour guide. Very knowledgeable and took us to some really awesome spots that were hyper local and delicious! Couldn’t recommend Dan enough as your next tour guide ☺️
Our food tour with Chip was an amazing experience! She brought us to all the spots she and her family eat at and I felt I was getting the true Vietnamese food experience I had been missing throughout my entire trip. She taught us how to correctly eat foods and a bit about the history of food and culture in Hanoi and Vietnam. Would highly recommended to anyone visiting Hanoi, I wish I did this earlier in my trip so I’d have time to go back to all the places! Thank you so much!
Went on a tour with Ha. Had an awesome time and we hit some great food staples and were very full by the end! Took us to great spots and ended with a delicious egg coffee!
We had the best time on our food tour with Ha from Hanoi Explore Travel! She was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. We tried a few authentic dishes which were all very tasty. Ha also gave us recommendations on other places to eat. Ha is passionate about food and makes the experience fun and interactive. Highly recommend booking a tour with her!
We had a fantastic time on this tour! Ha was a great tour guide who went above and beyond giving us detailed information about each of the dishes. This tour was our favourite thing we did in Hanoi!
Our guide Nathan did an amazing job! He took us to 6 different restaurants in Hanoi Old Quarter. All of the places were delicious! Our group really enjoyed all the different kinds of food. I highly recommend this tour with Nathan!
We had the perfect evening with Chip as our guide. I booked this on GetYourGuide after positive experiences in other countries, and this did not disappoint. Chip showed us the best - and fully authentic - versions of multiple Vietnamese cuisines that we never would have found on our own. All the food was amazing and Chip (a true Hanoi local ) was incredibly knowledgeable about Hanoi and Vietnam culture and history. For food lovers, there is no better way to experience a city than this. Ask for Chip and you will not be disappointed!
Best food tour ever. Chip was the perfect guide. Beyond showing us her favorite local spots, she answered all of our questions and is so funny and personable. The food was amazing, the vibes amazing. She even gave us more recs for other food we wanted to try. If you want to have a thoughtful and authentic experience in Hanoi, you should sign up for this tour.
Chip is the perfect food guide for people who want to eat how a local does. She took us to places that have known her since she was a child and the food was incredible. She is so helpful and knowledgeable about the city it was amazing to hang out with her. She also helped us with any questions we had about Hanoi and gave us many recommendations for the rest of our trip. I cannot recommend this enough. Make sure you come hungry because there is plenty of amazing food to be taught how to eat properly.
Chip was the perfect guide, knowledgeable, friendly, and laid back! She took us to proper authentic places and explained something about each dish, and was happy to answer any and all questions. 10/10 would recommend!!
Amazing tour with Hà— we highly recommend her. What professionalism! She gave us excellent explanations about the different local dishes of Hanoi versus the rest of the country. She introduced us to one delicious dish after another and also guided us to other places to visit to discover more local specialties. We were more than full by the end of the tour, and beyond all that, she is truly friendly, cheerful, great company, and she taught us a lot about Vietnamese culture. A must-do at the beginning of the trip. Thanks again, Hà!!!
Amazing real local food not the “michelin” guide tourist trap! Chip took us to great places in old quarter and the food was great.
A street food tour with Emily was an absolute pleasure! She was everything we expected: kind, knowledgable about the food and the culture, and she quickly adjusted the details so we would have the best possible experience. It felt like restaurant hopping with a local friend. And all the places were non-touristy authentic places – precisely the food tour we wanted!
We enjoyed this foodtour with our tourguide Ha very much! Not only did we experience some very good and local Vietnamese food, our guide was also very open to share reflections about Vietnamese culture and food. She easily adjusted the tour for us considering allergies (celiac/gluten) and gave us different options so we could try the food we wanted. All the places she brought us was very authentic and local with delicious food and good portions- as a proper food tour should be. We had a great time and will highly reccomend this tour with Ha! (We also very much a appreciate that she didn’t push us to write this recommendation, as we often have experienced in other cases in Vietnam) ;)
Chip was an exceptional tour guide! We had a wonderful experience walking through Hanoi Old Quarter and tasting all the local gems. We loved that she called ahead to make sure we didn’t need to wait in long lines for great food, like at Bahn Mi Mama. Highlight of our trip so far ☺️
We were only in Hanoi for one day so we decided to do a walking food tour so that we could get a locals insight to the best foods to try in our short period of time. Ha was our tour guide and she was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful in our quest to find the best street food in Hanoi. We would 100% recommend this tour and hopefully you get Ha as your tour guide because she made our stay in Hanoi very memorable.
A great experience with an exceptional guide. Chip was so friendly and engaging during the duration of our tour. She was very knowledgeable about the cuisine, provided insights into Vietnamese culture, and brought us to the best local spots. Highly recommend this tour to any foodies or anyone just looking to see how the locals eat! Thank you, Chip!!!
I had a tour with guide Ha. A very skilled, cheerful, and smiling guide. You really couldn’t wish for a better experience with this young lady. She has a lot of knowledge about Vietnamese cuisine and knows how to find the hidden gems in the Old Quarter. We ate delicious food at six different places, super local! You would never be able to find these spots on your own. No rush at all; she takes her time. She also tells you a lot about beautiful places in Vietnam. In short: ask for Ha.
Chip gave us a great experience of the local foods. We tried everything and more we hoped for. It was accommodated to pescatarian which was great. We had wonderful talks, and Chip was very helpful and personal. So happy we did this, and had a chance to meet Chip!
Great trip! Chip showed us some interesting and original places to eat and told us about some origins of the dishes. The food was great, we finished the evening with full bellies. 😅
My boyfriend and I had such a great time with Chip, she's a true gem!! She gave us a wonderful insight into Vietnamese cuisine and created a welcoming and hospitable atmosphere! The group size was perfect and everything we tasted was truly delicious! Afterwards Chip provided us with a list of all the places we went to and even additional recommendations! Would book again any time, thank you so much!!! 💚
We had an amazing food tour with our guide Chip! She explained us a lot about the food culture in Vietnam and was very kind.
This streetfood tour with Chip was really the best!! She took us to unique places in the city and told us a lot about the food, about Hanoi and about Vietnamese (food)culture. Would highly recommend!!
It was awesome. Chip our guide did a marvellous job. So much enthusiasm… amazing. Very recommendable. Food tour in Hanoi is a must!!!
We had an amazing experience on the street food tour in Hanoi, the food itself was absolutely delicious, but what made the tour truly special was our guide, Ha. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive from start to finish. Highly recommend!
Chip is a great guide and very friendly, she gave us good knowledge on the local cuisine. We ate well and I was full after, thanks!
We had a brilliant time on this street food tour in Hanoi. Our guide, Chip, was great company and clearly knew the Old Quarter well. She took us to a mix of tiny local places that we’d never have spotted on our own. Most were family-run and felt really genuine, and places where her family often eat, which made it feel even more personal. The group size was perfect. There were only four of us including, so it felt relaxed and easy to chat without getting lost in a crowd. Chip also shared loads of helpful tips along the way, like what signs to look for when choosing a good street food place and which things to avoid. It felt like proper insider advice rather than the usual tourist stuff. Overall it was one of our highlights in Hanoi. Great food, great atmosphere, and a guide who clearly cares about showing people the best of the city. Would definitely recommend.
We did this tour last night with Chip. It was so great! She was very nice and shared a lot about the area , we learned a lot! And very delicious food:) would recommend
We had the street food tour with Chip, who was a lovely guide. Super friendly and fun, very knowledgable on Vietnam's food culture and the street food spots she picked were all amazing! I don't think that we would have eaten such delicious food in Hanoi if we hadn't joined this tour with her. Certainly one of the highlights of our stay in Hanoi. Can't recommend this enough! Thank you Chip! 🍟
Ha gave us such an amazing detailed tour around Hanoi where we got to try a biiig variety of food items. Would definitely suggest to do this tour at the beginning of your stay. She gave so many good tips and knew an answer to all of our questions. It was a great immersive experience I would give it a 10/10
Amazing experience, Ha gave us a tour which felt like a food tour and guide in 1 which was amazing. We did this our last day but we had to do this the first day we came here as we learned a lot and could do a lot after this with the new information. Highly recommanded! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Street food tour was very nice with our tour guide Chip. She can speak English very well! Had a lovely time with my father and sister
Chip, our young guide in Hanoi, was an absolute pleasure to spend time with. She has this easy, friendly way of making you feel welcome right from the start. As she walked us through some of her favorite spots — real hidden gems we never would’ve stumbled upon ourselves — it felt less like a tour and more like exploring the city with a local friend. She shared fun, down-to-earth insights about the food, the neighborhoods, and everyday life in Hanoi, always with a smile and a good sense of humor. Her knowledge is impressive, but she never shows off — she just explains things in a clear, relaxed, genuinely engaging way. The whole experience was laid-back, tasty, and surprisingly insightful. If you want to see Hanoi from a more authentic angle, with someone who truly cares about the city and its stories, this tour is a great choice. Warm, fun, and absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!
We did our tour with chip. She was really nice und showed us a lot of good food spots. Everything was so delicious. We were vegetarian, and Chip always organized it for us, to get a vegetarian alternative. I would truly recommend this tour, especially with Chip!
We had a great tour with Chip, who helped us try a lot of different dishes we may not have found otherwise. She tailored the tour to my wife who’s vegan so we both could try things at each stop.
Chip was an amazing tour guide, it felt like exploring Hanoi with a friend. We learnt lots about Vietnamese culture, and how to roll a spring roll like a local. Huge thank you and would highly recommend to anybody visiting. Tailored to my vegan diet which was really appreciated as I didn't go without!
The food tour was great, Chip was lovely and took us to some great restaurants we would not have found on our own, and everything we tasted was delicious.
This was an amazing tour, our tour guide Chip was so welcoming and enthusiastic about her city and the food she loves. We ate like locals and we left with very full bellies. Very tasty food.
Great foodspots and delicious food. We had a great time with our tour guide Emily and got so many information about food, culture and Hanoi.
Emily was brilliant and the food we tried was incredible! She told us lots of interesting facts about Hanoi and the food we were tasting and we had a really great time. Definitely worth the money!!!
Great experience with Emily. She shown quality street food experience and gave her knowledge about history and traditions of Vietnamese eating habits
We got this tour and it was an amazing experience. Our guide, Emily, was great, we had great food, she told us stories about the food we got, and at the end we were really full of delicious vietnamese food. We got to sit in places where mostly locals sit and enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you!
This was so much fun, I was able to try food I wouldn’t normally order and learn about them. It taught me a lot about their culture. Emily was our guide and she was so sweet and amazing at explaining everything. 10/10
Emily was an excellent guide! She showed she was really passionate about sharing her culture with us. She fed us till we couldn’t eat anymore. If there is one thing I can recommend to do in Hanoi it’s this food tour with Emily!
Great atmosphere very knowledgeable Keeps it together with the energy of the group. Emily was super kind and informative lots of patience and a smile Great way of getting to know the city
Our experience with Emily was incredible - we learned so much about the culture and history in Vietnam, while of course tasting huge variety of foods. The food was delicious and now we know exactly what to look out for next time that we visit. She was so personable and we shared lots of laughs. A memory I’ll always hold.
We had such an amazing tour with Emily. We basically got a private tour as there were only the two of us - Emily was so sweet and friendly to us. She showed us all the best spots and really made sure we were happy and taken care of. The food was delicious. We shared a lot of laughs and it really felt like we had left the tour with a new friend. Would 100% recommend the tour and Emily as a guide 😄
Chip was an excellent food tour guide. On time for pick up. Her choices of restaurants and food orders were amazing! Very good communicator, fluent in English. My husband and I appreciate her warm and welcoming tour. That was flawless. Fully recommended! 👌
Would totally recomend this tour with Hoang ☺️ We had a great evening with good food and a very local experience! 🇻🇳 🍜 😋
