We will pick you up at your hotels within the Old Quarter or meet at our office. Here, we will provide a short briefing about our tour.
During our 3-hour street food tour in Hanoi, you'll embark on a captivating journey that delves into the rich culture and history of this vibrant city. As you wander through the bustling streets, you'll be immersed in a world brimming with tantalizing street food vendors. Hanoi's street food scene is unlike that of many other major cities around the world; it's a unique culinary adventure that offers a chance to savor a diverse array of dishes from local food stands and family-run restaurants. Our tour boasts a rotating menu, ensuring you experience the full spectrum of Hanoi's delectable options. While the specific dishes may vary from day to day, some of the mouthwatering treats you might indulge in include: savory rice noodle soup with succulent beef, flavorful rice noodle dishes featuring tender chicken or grilled pork, adventurous snail delicacies, or a hearty serving of dry noodles.
Experience the enchanting Train Street of Hanoi, even amid recent closures. Our expertise ensures a seamless visit, where you'll witness trains passing by from the Train Street cafe. This historic railway, in operation for over a century since the French colonial era, remains vital for North-South transportation. Daily life harmoniously unfolds alongside the tracks, creating a unique atmosphere. Enjoy coffee trackside for an exceptional tourist experience. Our knowledgeable guide will share intriguing stories as you witness coffee shops and houses near the tracks, making Train Street a captivating highlight of your Hanoi journey.
The tour is coming to an end, and it's time to bid farewell. We will conclude at our final stop, or if you find it challenging to navigate, we'll be happy to assist you in returning to your hotel.

Ricky was a great tour guide. We had an amazing time and the food was fantastic.
Ricky was great! He made our tour so much fun and the food was delicious. It was such a great experience.
Such a great experience and Ricky was very good at showing us around :)
Ricky was the best guide ever - the food was delicious and we had lots of fun. I highly recommend! He even sends you a list of all his restaurant recommendations so eating in Hanoi becomes a breeze.
Amazing food tour with Ricky! I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to find some excellent local Vietnamese food. The summer rolls and tofu dessert suggested by Ricky were my favourite. I’m keen to go back for seconds.
We had a wonderful evening trying some really great Vietnamese food. Our host Ricky was awesome and accomodating and made the evening feel relaxed and fun. We got to try some dishes and places we wouldn’t have found or been brave enough to try ourselves and that gave us a great insight and also was delicious!
I had a fantastic time on this food tour in Hanoi! The group was just the right size, which made the experience feel personal and enjoyable. We got to discover and taste delicious food at small, local restaurants that I would never have found or visited on my own. Our guide, Bob, was absolutely wonderful – very knowledgeable, friendly and genuinely interested in everyone in the group. He made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time throughout the tour. His personal approach and enthusiasm really made the experience extra special. A perfect combination of great local food, interesting insights into Hanoi and a visit to Train Street. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hanoi. Five stars!
A huge thank you to Bob for such a wonderful experience. Having authentic, homemade Vietnamese food so close to Bob's heart, was an absolute delight. Every dish was full of flavour, beautifully prepared and gave us a genuine taste of Vietnamese culture. The warmth, hospitality and delicious food made it even more special. A truly memorable experience and one we would happily recommend. Thanks again, Bob, for making us feel so welcome!
Fantastic Hanoi food tour – a real highlight! What a wonderful experience! With so many places to eat tucked away in Hanoi's bustling streets, it was fantastic to have a knowledgeable guide show us some of the best spots. We not only enjoyed delicious local food but also learned so much about Vietnamese food culture and everyday life in Hanoi. It was a great way to experience the city beyond the usual tourist attractions. Train Street was quite extraordinary and a real highlight! Absolutely loved it and would highly recommend this tour.
Bob was the perfect food guide. As a local and coming from hospitality royalty himself he knew all the spots that the local chefs like to eat out. He went above and beyond. Highly recommend.
Bob gave us a wonderful introduction to a variety of Vietnamese dishes; He also let us discover places you might not otherwise (dare to) walk into.
Wonderful food tasting and we were happy to meet other travellers. Ricky was very friendly and helpful.
We did the food and train street tour. Nick was our guide and he created such a fun and memorable few hours for us. We had not tried street food in Vietnam before and were so pleasantly surprised with how delicious it all was. Highly recommend this tour.
We had an excellent food tour with Ricky. Plenty of food and all very good. Egg coffee at Train Street a special mention. Nice pick up at our hotel.
Risky met with us at our hotel ontime. He was funny and informative and presented the local cuisine really well. The choices of the evening were all different and great quality. Highly recommend this walking food experience when in Hanoi.
Our guide was Nick and he made the experience memorable. Very knowledgeable and made us taste the most delicious Vietnamese dishes. Super helpful and friendly.
Nick was very prompt and picked us up on time. He took us to three small local food joints and another place for dessert. The food was good overall, although I wasn’t a huge fan of the dessert. We ended the tour with coffee on Train Street, which was a nice way to finish the experience. Nick also gave us some great recommendations for the rest of our trip and shared some fun facts about Hanoi and its food and culture. Overall, it was a really enjoyable experience, and I would definitely recommend Nick to anyone looking to explore Hanoi through its local food scene.
Great trip. Our guide Bob was amazing. We tried a great selection of amazing food in places I’d never have found.
It was good and quick. Also, it’s a plus if you do research beforehand.

Was easy to organise and it was nice walking around Hanoi with our guide Ricky showing us the local food and talking about the culture
Amazing experience on my first day in Hanoi! Not knowing where to start when it came to the local food scene, I was glad to have Ricky as our tour guide. Ricky was friendly, energetic, and passionate about sharing his knowledge of Vietnamese food and culture. He came well prepared and was incredibly knowledgeable, explaining not only the dishes we tried but also the history, traditions, and local customs behind them. His enthusiasm and sense of humor made the tour both informative and enjoyable. I joined a group tour since I was traveling solo, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience. It was great meeting people from different backgrounds, sharing stories, and enjoying delicious Vietnamese delicacies together. Ricky made everyone feel welcome and helped create a fun, relaxed atmosphere throughout the tour. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hanoi, especially solo travelers looking for an authentic, social, and memorable food experience. Thanks, Ricky, for such a wonderful introduction to Vietnam!
