Awesome and authentic tour experience, they even asked what type of tour I was after. I specifically mentioned food, so I was taken around all the most local spots possible. And it really was great! I will be recommending my clients to Jenny!

Itinerary
You are the first time Vietnam visitor, you love walking and enjoy food like the local, you just have a free day or half day in Hanoi Old Quarter, this tour is made for you to discover the food, the life and the history of Hanoi Old Quarter. From the first step into the streets we can see locals live, eat, pray, and do business right on the sidewalk. The Old Quarter has been around since the 11th century, when Hanoi (then Thăng Long) became the capital. There were 36 Craft Streets – Each with a Story. Streets named after the goods once made or sold there: Hàng Bạc (Silver), Hàng Gai (Silk), Hàng Mã (Paper Offerings).. Walking through these streets is like walking through chapters of Hanoi's merchant history. The Old Quarter is the heart of Hanoi cuisine: join this walking street food tour we can try: Phở, Bún Chả, Egg Coffee, Sticky Rice, Bánh Mỳ, and more (from 6-7 dishes/drinks) family-run restaurants passed down for generations. Note: The food can be adjusted to meet your own taste.
Built during the French colonial era (early 1900s), the railway connected Hanoi to the north and south of Vietnam. Train street visit is one of the most exiting experiences in Hanoi, seeing a train passes just inches away from homes and cafes. This once-normal street has become legendary.

Being able to tailor our tour according to our taste and timeline was terrific. Trung was very accommodating and informative on the ins and outs of the Old Quarter foodie experience. He was also able to get us into some great seats when watching the train go by and having a drink.
I honestly can’t thank Jenny enough for making our Vietnam trip such a smooth and enjoyable experience! From Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi, then Ba Na Hills in Da Nang, and finally back to Ho Chi Minh City airport, Jenny helped organise everything for us, including all our transfers. What made the experience so special was Jenny herself. She was always in contact with us, checking in, answering our questions, and making sure everything was organised and running smoothly. No matter what we needed, she was always helpful, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure we were looked after. Travelling between different cities can sometimes be stressful, but having Jenny there to communicate with us and make sure everything was taken care of gave us such peace of mind. Jenny, thank you for your kindness, patience, and the effort you put into looking after us. It really made a difference to our holiday, and we genuinely appreciated having someone we could rely on throughout our trip. If you’re travelling to Vietnam and need someone reliable to organise your tours and transfers, I highly recommend Jenny. She is an absolute gem, and we would definitely use her services again! ❤️
This is an absolute must do when in Hanoi. We had the best time. Our Guide Trung (Jenny's Husband) was amazing with very good English and explained a lot to us along the tour. He Showed us places we would have never seen, and tasted good delicious. All was delicious. Finished off with a Egg coffee, which was also delicious. We also got taken around the sites and got some History about Vietnam along the way.
We had an absolute blast on our foodie walking tour with Jenny’s hubby! What a way to experience Hanoi - he talked us through so many interesting facts about the City and Hanoians, and gave us a peek at so much we would have totally missed if exploring by ourselves … thank you guys so much for everything! 🫶🤩💜 We would highly recommend this tour … come hungry!
We had the best experience both with the walking food tour with Trung in Hanoi, as well as with Jenny’s guidance and booking services. I would absolutely recommend Jenny as a travel guide for your Vietnam travels.
Great experience with a local (the lovely Trung) who was very flexible in the tour. Everything was delicious and a great start to our stay in Hanoi. Totally recommend
Nothing but praises for Jenny and her team! Process was smooth and collaborative, Jenny help planned our trip around Hanoi, Hoi An and Ninh Binh. I had Trung as my guide for Ninh Binh and Hanoi and with his wealth of knowledge, made the site visits memorable and interesting. He also recommended a few food spots that we got to try after the initial food tour (too much to eat, not enough stomach). When we were in Vietnam, Jenny was prompt and provided us the driver details and the timing, we felt very taken care of and would recommend her for anyone travelling to Vietnam, especially for their first time.
Great experience for solo women traveller. Comes with good food too.
We had Trung as our walking street food tour guide and could not recommend him highly enough. Not only did we get to experience some of the real Hanoi s food and culture but his knowledge on the History of the city was incredible. We saw parts of Hanoi that I'm sure other tours wouldn't and had such a great all round experience we booked three separate tours with them and have recommended to all I know.
We had an amazing time on our food tour! The Train St visit was exeptional, great seats and view. We felt we were able to ask any questions we needed and learnt a lot about Hanoi. Got some great food recommendations and they were very accommodating to our small children, taking longer stops or getting different foods such as local icecreams and smoothies. Easy to communicate via Whatsapp and prompt pick up from our hotel. Highly recommend!
Was so fun and tasty!! A secret guide to all the best places. Lots of walking though haha :)
The walking tour was fantastic. Plenty of time to look around. Trying different foods was very good. Our guide was also great
We had an amazing experience with this travel agency from start to finish. The team was professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive to every detail. They really took the time to understand what we wanted and created a trip that exceeded my expectations. Everything—from accommodations to transportation—was perfectly organized, which made the whole journey stress-free and enjoyable. I truly appreciated their quick communication and helpful recommendations. I would absolutely recommend this agency to anyone looking for a smooth, memorable travel experience, and I can’t wait to book with them again!
Jenny from the Blog was absolutely fantastic. She is incredibly attentive, helpful, and has excellent knowledge of Vietnam. Communication was seamless from start to finish — she replied quickly to all messages and requests and made the entire planning process stress-free. We did an amazing walking food tour with Jenny, which was a real highlight of our trip. She introduced us to incredible local dishes and took us to authentic spots where locals actually eat. Her food suggestions throughout our stay were spot-on and allowed us to experience Hanoi like a local rather than a tourist. Jenny also organised a wonderful 3-day, 2-night trip to Sapa for my husband and I. Everything was perfectly arranged, and we were lucky to have an amazing guide named Pham, who made the experience even more memorable. If you’re planning a visit to Hanoi or anywhere in Vietnam, Jenny from the Blog is your go-to person. She goes above and beyond in every way — a true gem!
We went on two tours with Trung. He did an excellent job. The first was an evening food tour. There was no shortage of food. He kept asking if we wanted to try. We tried EVERYTHING and it was all delicious. From eggs with ducks inside, worm pancakes, bun cho, coffee, shrimp cakes, spring rolls, fruits, banh mi, beer with peanuts, and beverages. He reserved a spot on train street for us to have a good view. There was so much food I do not even remember everything. The second tour was a city and food tour. Again no shortage of food and Trung was extremely informative. He showed us pagodas, rivers, bridges, statues, parks and city buildings, He taught us about the different neighborhoods and what the name of the streets were before and what they sell today. Trung has a great personality. He is honest and patient. He was with us all day feel. 9am to 5 pm. We walked over 9 miles but could have stopped when ever we wanted. He was excellent and he provided exactly what we were looking for. If you want a personalized experience I would highly suggest you contact Jenny. Thank you Trung!
Jenny planned the itinerary, accommodation, tours, and transfers for our 15 night trip. She was absolutely incredible and I can't recommend her services highly enough. Jenny made our trip so much less stressful and was happy to work within our budget to ensure we experienced the things we hoped to. Jenny was also helpful when needing to make last minute changes due to flight cancellations at the end of our trip. Jenny was very responsive and helpful throughout the trip. We did the walking food tour in Hanoi with Jenny's husband, Trung - this was one of the highlights of our trip! Thank you, Jenny!
We had an absolutely amazing experience thanks to Jenny! She organised everything for us so perfectly — from our sightseeing tours and hotel stays to smooth airport transfer arrangements across Ho Chi Minh City, Phu Quoc, and Hanoi during our two-week trip. Every detail was flawlessly coordinated with so much thought and professionalism. Jenny made our trip completely stress-free, and her warm, caring nature made us feel truly looked after throughout our stay. It was clear how much effort she put into making sure we had the best possible experience. If you’re looking for someone who plans with care, handles every detail, and genuinely cares about her clients, Jenny on the Blog is the one to choose. Highly recommended! ✨💛✈️
We recently explored Hanoi, Sapa, Halong Bay, and Ninh Binh, and Jenny took care of everything - from hotel bookings to airport transfers and itinerary planning. Her services were top-notch, and we got great value for our money. The walking food tour was a highlight, and I was impressed that the food and coffee were included in the package. We visited amazing spots, and Jenny even gave us a bag of snacks and coffee along the way. I highly recommend her services, and I'd definitely book with her again if I visit Central or South Vietnam.
Jenny's walking tour of street food in Hanoi was MAGICAL. She showed us her city, the markets, the old quarter and train street like she was introducing us to her best friends - it was that warm and personal. We ate 4 amazing meals in the 5 hours we were together, we drank hand-poured salt coffee (delightfully delicious) and enjoyed Hanoi Beers on Train Street (a scary-fun experience!) She shared with us history, culture, religion, politics... and food. Jenny also helped us PLAN our trip, including: Amazing Cooking classes, an Incredible Lantern Boat ride in HoiAn, an Exhilarating Scooter food tour in Saigon, an Enchanting 2-night cruise on Halong Bay, a Mekong Delta floating market and glorious homestay expedition, Incredible Basket boat adventure, Magical Ninh Binh excursion...And she arranged all in-country transfers which was SO VERY HELPFUL Jenny went out of her way to help us get our VISAs expedited, SIM cards activated and money exchanged at the best rates. We couldn't have enjoyed our vacation as well without her help. Thank you, Jenny! We will be back.
We used Jenny to organize our 10 days itinerary in Vietnam. She setup all the tours and transfers and customized our itinerary based on our needs/wants. Jenny was very responsive and flexible, she runs a small family business company which we liked. Upon arrival to Hanoi, she met us in the hotel with her husband and they did walking food tour for us. It was great introduction to Vietnamese food. Next day her husband and a driver took us to Ninh Binh day tour. It was a good experience even though weather didn’t cooperate we still enjoyed it. Jenny organized very good and knowledgeable guides for us in other places: Da Nang and HCMC. Highly recommended Jenny and her services for Vietnam trip, she was very easy to work with and pleasure to deal with.
You can not go past Jenny for organising your Vietnam holiday, Jenny was fantastic. From the first contact to the last everything was organised to our liking . We planned a holiday that suited our interests and timing, nothing was to much trouble. Every driver and guide were fantastic and on time every time . The tours we had we loved and the places we stayed were great. If your going to Vietnam book through Jenny you will not be disappointed. Loved every minute
Is it your first time in Vietnam? This is a must do on your first day. We would not have known what to eat, where to get it from or even how to order. Doing this your first day just gives you the confidence to know what to do for the rest of your trip. We did our food tour with Jenny from the blog and loved every minute. • We started with Pho for a traditional breakfast, this came with a chopstick lesson • Then an ice cold salt coffee if Strong Coffee! Had a stroll around the old quarter and Jenny showed us where some good shopping was... Then grabbed a takeaway Bahn Mi to eat at Train Street. While we waited for the train I had a refreshing lemon iced tea and Hubby had a Mango Smoothie • 9 . Then when I thought I couldn't eat any more we had Bun Cha • which I think was my favorite. Another lesson Jenny included which was handy for a first timer was how to cross the road, sounds strange but you will understand when you get here To finish off we had what I would call a dessert & but they call egg coffee. I would totally recommend you contact Jenny if you are coming to Hanoi especially if it's your first visit. You can contact her by WhatsApp +84 96 361 13 99 or Facebook We did this tour Oct 2025 and the cost for our 4.5hr private tour including all food and drink was 1.9m vnd that's about $55 AUD each.
Booking our 2 week trip with Jenny was the best thing we could have done! Every detail was perfectly arranged & her communication was excellent. We highly recommend using Jenny Travel for your next trip to Vietnam!!
Jenny not only took us personally on this amazing food tour , but organized our entire northern Vietnam itinerary! All our tours were fantastic and she can cater to just about any budget or whatever you'd like to do/see all over Vietnam.
Jenny was our travel agent for our 16night trip to Central and Northern Vietnam in Oct 2025 (2 adults and 2 children, 8 and 10). She arranged absolutely everything - car transfers, day tours, accommodation, overnight sleeper train, junk ship cruise. Our holiday has been totally seamless due to Jenny's arrangements. The itinerary needed to change on account of typhoon weather, which Jenny managed perfectly. We honestly couldn't be happier and we will contact her again when we next visit to see the Southern region! The food walking tour was certainly the highlight of Hanoi. She goes above and beyond, you won't be disappointed.
Simply put without Jenny (& her husband Trung) I don’t think our Vietnam trip would have been anywhere near as good, Jenny went above & beyond to arrange tours/experiences to suit us, while ensuring we experienced the real Hanoi. Jenny arranged our transfers, walking food tour, incence village tour, jeep tour, day trip to Ninh Binh & a cruise in Ha Long Bay! All of which she managed to still make happen while Hanoi experienced heavy rain & floods. On top of the tours being amazing, Jenny & Trung are absolutely lovely guides who are passionate about tourism, Hanoi & everything the country of Vietnam has to offer. I highly recommend reaching out to Jenny to help plan your Vietnam adventure ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Just returned from the most wonderful 3 weeks away, starting in Ho Chi Minh, moving on to da nang and hoi an, then Hanoi for week 3. We decided to use a local agent to help plan and arrange the itinerary and could be happier with the service from Jenny from the blog Every transfer from airport day 1 to all tours and stops arranged and paid for in advance so no worries about being scammed or paying over the odds. It was also priceless having a local contact on WhatsApp for the whole trip for last minute changes and questions answered. Wish we had stayed longer but will absolutely be back. What a fantastic country and a proud & welcoming people, but top of the list was th food 👌❤️❤️
Have just returned from a 24 day trip to Vietnam. Love, love, love this country, the people are so beautiful. This is our fifth time to Hanoi, normally I like to take charge and organise everything myself. However this time I wanted a little help to organise tours to Sapa and Ninh Binh as we hadn’t been there before. I contacted Jenny and she replied immediately. Her communication was fantastic. She organised drivers and local tour guides who were fantastic. Jenny even got her friend Jenny to organise our visas, which was effortless for us. We also did the walking foodie tour with Trung (Jenny’s husband) who was a lovely gentle man. Not only did he take us to all hidden food spots we would never find ourselves but he educated us about Vietnamese culture and history. I would highly recommend using Jenny and I will definitely use them next time. Thank you Jenny and Trung
“Amazing experience! The food tour was the perfect way to discover authentic Vietnamese dishes while learning about the culture. Our guide Trung was friendly, knowledgeable, and made everything fun and easy. Every stop had something delicious to try, and we got to explore hidden local spots we’d never have found on our own. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vietnam!”
We are an Aussie couple who adored our Hanoi food tour and visit to train street. Trung was an expert guide, leading us around the city to amazing food and drink spots. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Hoi An and we saw places we wouldn’t have seen on our own! The food was incredible and we loved visiting train street when the train went past, with Trung even giving us bottle tops to place on tge track and collect at souvenirs. Highly recommend Trung and Jenny from the blog walking tours.
Honestly the best money I’ve spent. So much information, so many wonderful meals and so many out of this world experiences. Thankyou
I just want to give a big shout-out to Jenny from Jenny from the blog. I cannot recommend Jenny and her husband, Trung, highly enough. My husband even calls Jenny our personal Travel Concierge! Here’s what she organised for us: • Ho Chi Minh City Private food tour by jeep - We loved the food, and our kids absolutely enjoyed the jeep ride. • D-car transfers to and from multiple airports (Nha Trang, Hai Phong, Hanoi) - Jenny always sent us a photo of the car and the driver’s details beforehand. • Ha Long Bay cruise with Elite of the Seas. • Private Ninh Binh day tour - Trung was our guide and made the day memorable. • Hanoi walking food tour with Jenny herself - Train Street was both scary and epic! It was crowded, but she made sure we had seats. What stood out most was Jenny’s personal touch - she always checked in before and after each activity to make sure everything went smoothly and that we were happy. Thanks to Jenny, our trip was not only stress-free but also filled with unforgettable memories.
Amazing! We were met at our hotel and spent almost 5 hours exploring Hanoi and tasting the most incredible food We were lucky enough to watch the train go through from Train Street with a beer in hand from a first floor balcony, eat Pho from the best place in town and enjoy Bhn mi from secret back room. Several other great food stops and constant history and geography information. We cannot recommend enough.
We arrived in Hanoi with our family and Jenny had our transfers, accomodation, tours and walking food tour organised. It was a relief to get to Hanoi and not have to worry about a thing! Communication was excellent and we felt reassured when we had to change our plans due to bad weather that Jenny would have us sorted, and she did! Her husband Trung did our food tour and his knowledge was amazing. Can highly recommend booking through Jenny from the blog.
Trung took us to all of the food spots that no tourists know about. Some were just a hole in a wall, up a hall, stairs, and then to find a secret haven where most of the patrons were locals. Trung also had an extremely good knowledge of the landmarks and history of Hanoi and his country, which was so interesting during the tour. The best part was that he didn’t rush, he was very patient and nice company. We felt very comfortable and safe, plus all of the food was soooo good!! I will definitely be passing on his and Jenny’s details to my friends if they travel to Hanoi. 11 out of 10, thanks Trung🙏
We highly recommend Jenny from the Blog. We booked the Walking tour after reading fab reviews and very glad we did as it was a highlight of our whole time in Vietnam. Trung met us at our hotel then took us to Train Street for coffee which he had a table reservation made already and what a vibe that was! We then hit the streets of Hanoi weaving through cute streets and checking out lots of hidden gems you wouldn’t find by yourself. We stopped for Bahn Mi (25) then dined on Bun Cha which Trung taught us how to best eat it, Many other dishes and drinks were sampled while winding through the streets including Egg coffee and being coffee lovers it was great! It was a super hot and humid day however kids handled it well with the stops along the way. We are truly grateful for your hospitality & sharing your knowledge of Hanoi and have already recommended you to many. Thanks again
We were recommended the walking tour by. Family we met on our travels. We booked in with Jenny on messenger and the afternoon we had with her was fabulous. So many amazing dishes and drinks along the way. Very generous meals, walking through the markets and finishing at train street. The Pho, Banh mi and Bun Cha were the best we’ve had. Jenny even helped with a touch of shopping along the way from items our girls spotted while standing in line. The tour was a fabulous way to finish our time in Vietnam, so glad we did this and highly recommend,
Trung took us on our (2 adults and 2 teens) walking tour through Hanoi, and it was such a great day. He clearly loves what he does and took the time to show us the features and sights of the old quarter while guiding us through the local Vietnamese food and coffee. We have some very fussy eaters, and he helped to explain and cater to our needs. It was an intensely hot day, and Trung was more than happy to make extra stops so we could get more cold drinks and recharge. He also took photos of our family and sent them through to us so that we have photos of our day. I completely recommend the walking tour, it made our trip to Hanoi memorable.
We had a private tour for myself and partner with Trung (Jenny’s husband). He was fantastic, took us around to many different spots to eat and drink. Told us the history of Hanoi and explained a lot of the streets and how they came about, was all very interesting. He was lovely and took lots of photos for us. We especially enjoyed train street and the Long Bien Station where we saw one of train bridges which was built in 3 years between 1899-1902 which is amazing during that time. Would definitely recommend to anyone coming to Hanoi to book this private walking food tour.
We went on a wonderful food tour with Jenny's husband. He showed us around Hanoi and shared lots of interesting stories about the culture, hidden places and the food. We can only recommend others to book with them.
My wife and I did the walking & food tour of Hanoi on our first day in town and loved it - the food was excellent and it gave us a really good overview of the city's history and the layout of the old quarter. I was surprised at the amount of random laneways and hidden buildings that Hanoi has to offer. would definitley recommend organising a tour with Jenny, this one in particular i felt was a great way to hit the ground running and get some good local insight before being let loose on our own!
We had the most amazing walking street food tour with Trung through Hanoi’s Old Quarter. Trung was so friendly & his knowledge of the history of food and Hanoi made this so fun & interesting. All of the food we ate was wonderful. There’s was so much to eat & was such a great way to experience Hanoi for the first time. Trung also showed us many other places to eat & shop at by ourselves after our tour. It gave us great confidence to get out & about on our own & we will certainly be going back to many places to eat the Bahn Mi, Pho, Bun Cha, spring rolls etc again. Train Street at night time was also amazing with all of the lights & activity. Thank you so much Trung - we highly recommend this tour for anyone!!
Today we enjoyed a fantastic food tour of Hanoi. Our tour guide was Trung, he was brilliant, friendly, fun and so knowledgeable. He led us around many streets of Hanoi Old Quarter visiting historical buildings, historical streets, Train st, Hoan Kiem Lake, Dong Xuan market sharing his wonderful knowledge and all with delicious foods stops along the way. From pho to banh mi and egg coffee.. a few of our favourites. Thank you Trung, our family had the best day!
We spend the whole afternoon on a fabulous food tour with Jenny. We had a wonderful time trying a wide variety of Vietnamese food. Jenny was a wealth of knowledge and took us down some narrow alleys, helping us discover foods we would have never tried. Since we couldn’t eat too much food, she showed us places to eat for our stay in Hanoi. Jenny also helped us book a city tour, a day trip to Ninh Binh and a 2 night cruise to Ha Long Bay. She was fantastic.
Walking food tour of Hanoi. Excellent way to try some of the best cuisine. Pick up abit of interesting history, find yourself in interesting places in the Old Quarter you’d never see yourself, have a bit an exercise & have fun.
This was my first time in Vietnam, and we booked a tour with Jenny based on my sister’s recommendation—she books with Jenny every time she visits this beautiful country. The food tour was fantastic! Jenny took us to various spots to try a wide range of local dishes and coffee. Every bite was amazing! She truly knows where to find the most authentic Vietnamese food in the area.
We ( a group of 4 )had the pleasure of having a food tour with our guide Trung in Hanoi . We had an amazing time wandering the streets of the Old Quarter eating a variety of local dishes and drinking egg coffee and beers on Beer Street Trung knew the area very well and took us to places we would never have found on our own . He also explained to us the history of the town. It was a fascinating afternoon and something we would highly recommend.
Jenny looked after us very well on our food tour including train st. We tried 5-6 different foods and of course egg coffee! Jenny is fun, relaxed, excellent English and paced the tour well, visiting various places within the busy Old Quarter. It was very easy to arrange the tour via WhatsApp. Jenny told us a lot about life in Vietnam and Hanoi and was very happy to answer our questions. We did this tour on day one and thought it was a great introduction to Hanoi. Thanks Jenny for a great tour. 5 out of 5 and highly recommended. 👏👏👏
I had the most delightful time with Jenni. After collecting me from my hotel, she walked me through the Old Quarter, enjoying Pho to start with, followed by Bahn Mi, then two types of coffee, one whilst we watched the train pass through the famous train street. She had booked a prime position table for us. She showed me fascinating cafes hidden down tiny lanes and a few little known landmarks, and we had a few more snacks. We had the most lovely conversations and I really enjoyed my time with her. I highly recommend this tour.
