Very good food tour with Huey & Crystal strawling through Hanoi 's nightmarket, having traditional fish and spring rolls- also for vegetarians- in a nice restaurant. It has been a fun experience and Huey really did a great job showing us around the old town and finding tasty food for the 6 of us. Thanks a lot.
We had a wonderful foodtour trough the Old Quarter of Hanoi. Our Guide Grace has shown us some traditional and unique places we’re we probably never had eaten without her. 100% recommendations!!
We took a street food walking tour with Thomas as our e Buddie. We visited three street food restaurants, all from the tried and tested e buddies list, and had excellent food. We had no worries about food hygiene and to go with a local guide meant that we learned about not only what we were eating but something of the history of the dishes. Thomas, a university student, was extremely knowledgeable about Vietnamese culture, history, politics and of course daily life. His English was fluent and he was enthusiastic, energetic and very warm and friendly. I could give him nothing less than a five star review.
We had a very great time with Thomas and Kylie💖!! They brought us to some local restaurants/cafes!! We got to see beautiful Vietnam huge thanks to them. I love Vietnam!!!💗
We opted for a walking local street food tour and our lovely guides Riley and Pat were amazing!! They took us to the best spots and introduced Vietnamese cuisine to us. We feel so lucky to have had them guiding us!! Thanks to the fantastic Hanoi EBuddies team!!
The street food tour with Juvelyn was great. We were asked beforehand what we didn't like or if we had any allergies. Then Juvelyn chose the restaurants. We had a great evening and learned a lot from Juvelyn. Definitely do a tour with the Ebuddies in Hanoi, it's worth it.
Two families, with 5 teens, took the food walking tour. (2-6pm) 3 lovey tour guides- Lili, Riley and Jessica met us at our hotel, and they took us to four different locations to try some local food specialties. Amazing afternoon- fantastic food enjoyed by all 9 of us, engaging for both teenagers and adults alike. A fabulous way to learn more about this bustling city and Vietnamese culture on our first visit. Big thanks to LILI, RILEY & JESSICA.
Daphne and Pat were so sweet! They organised a really nice tour and showed us great food. We tried some Bun Chà where Obama ate before, drank some salty coffee (really worth a try!) and finished our experience with vegan Banh mí. We would really recommend the tour!
It was a very nice experience when i went to the streetfoodtour with Bonnie and I am very glad that I did it. She really took care for what i like to eat and she is very friendly and it was very nice to talk with her. I can defenetly recommend it.
Varnia made contact with us via WhatsApp and came to meet us at our hotel after we had just arrived. She was very informative and a lovely person to spend time with. The food was delicious and we enjoyed the whole experience.
The best way to start your time in Hanoi is through a food tour. Lily our guide asked us in advance what foods we wanted to try and she was prepared. We made it through 3 different mains and one dessert, all very delicious and filling. Lily gave us some good advice for navigating Hanoi with roads and bartering too.
Thank you to our guide Grace for showing us on a night food tour in Hanoi! It was interesting to get to know a local guide and learning from them some traditions and methods of eating. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn about the locals!
The time with the guides was truly remarkable. They catered to our every culinary craving, selecting the perfect dining spots based on our preferences. Opting for the street food tour with them proved to be a wise decision, saving us valuable time that would have otherwise been spent aimlessly navigating the streets of Hanoi. We wholeheartedly recommend them as guides; their expertise and attention to detail made our experience unforgettable.
Venturing with a local guide was an unforgettable experience. They shared fascinating stories and led me to incredible food spots that were off the beaten path. We sampled dishes I never would have discovered on my own, each one more delicious than the last. The guide's deep knowledge of the area's history and cuisine made the tour exceptionally rich and rewarding. If you want to uncover hidden treasures and savor authentic local flavors, this tour is a must!
It was a super great streetfoodtour! Lea guided me through Hanoi and brought me to some great foodlocations and cafés. It was a great pleasure! Not only the food expierence but also the infos about life in general in Vietnam. Cảm ơn nhiều!
Hi, It was really really nice. Our tour guides Lily and Pat showed us some lovely places in the old quarter. We have had lunch together and some nice talks about their and our culture (Germany). Can only recommend it to everyone.
The tour provided great information and delicious food, all thanks to the local guide. They took me to hidden gems and introduced me to dishes I would have never discovered on my own. It was an unforgettable culinary adventure!
Lea was an amazing bubbly energiser guide who was so informative. Enjoyed every minute of her walk with us. Brought us to some very good places to eat and explained in detail. Will book them again.
We had such a great experience having a street food tour guided by lovely Grace. Grace took us to try some new foods (for example our new favorite Bun Cha) and told us more about the foods and culture. My friend had a birthday so Grace also helped me to surprise him with an amazing birthday cake and a little celebration). This was way more than I would even expect, thank you so much for the experience!! ❤️
Each stop on the itinerary offers a tantalizing array of local delicacies, from steaming bowls of pho to crispy banh mi sandwiches bursting with flavor. The interactive nature of the tour allows you to engage with local vendors, gaining insight into the rich tapestry of Vietnamese cuisine and culture.
We had a great time walking through the old quarter with our lovely guide Abigail. She spoke very good English and was very enthusiastic. She showed a good knowledge of the area and some of the less well known Vietnamese dishes. We ate food we probably would not have chosen so it was really good to try something very different. Having fermented rice in yogurt as a dessert was the highlight - delicious. We would thoroughly recommend this free tour which serves to help the students develop their English skills
Daisy and Selina were amazing and our kids loved them! It was nice to walk around the streets of Hanoi and not having to remember how to get back somewhere. The girls took us to two restaurants (we were too full to go anywhere else) and gave us the option of what to do next. Having a local with you made entering Train St a breeze and we didn’t have local cafe owners hassle us. They were knowledgeable, polite and fun - highly recommend!
Very interesting and delicious tour in the old town. The guides spoke very good English and we had a lot of fun despite the rain. Gladly again
What a wonderful morning! Bonnie, a student, took me around Hanoi. We got some green rice and glutinous rice a little shop and then we went to eat it in a very famous cafe in Hanoi for egg coffee. Then we went to the ancient house, and Bonnie told me so many curiosities about the house, it was super relaxing. Finally we took some time on the shore of Hoan Kiem Lake, resting from the heat. And finally, pre-lunch, Bonnie took me to this chain of restaurants where they serve grilled fish, one of the best dishes I've tasted in Hanoi, and with great views of the lake from the fourth floor. Bonnie is super cute and helpful. A special morning! Thank you Bonnie and thank you Hanoi e-buddies!
Unique experience that allows you to discover real Vietnamese food in the most authentic places. Fantastic girls accompanied us
Chuyến food tour Hà Nội này là trải nghiệm thú vị nhất mà chúng tôi đã trải qua xuyên suốt kì nghỉ hè! Hướng dẫn viên của chúng tôi đã chuẩn bị một lịch trình rất tốt và hướng dẫn chúng tôi vô cùng chu đáo. Cô biết chính xác nơi nào khiến chúng tôi đến và cảm nhận trọn vẹn món ăn của Hà Nội xưa. Chúng tôi thậm chí còn học được những tên gọi địa phương của các món ăn mà chúng tôi đã thử. Chúng tôi recommend cô ấy và chuyến food tour này!
Tôi cảm thấy vô cùng thích thú với chuyến đi của mình. Và quả thật sau khi trải nghiệm nó, tôi đã hoàn toàn bị chinh phục. Hướng dẫn viên của tôi rất tốt bụng và đã kể cho tôi rất nhiều điều thú vị mà tôi chưa biết. Chúng tôi cũng đã ăn những món ăn đặc trưng nơi đây, mua một chút trái cây và tham quan nhiều cảnh đẹp.
Thời gian bên các hướng dẫn viên thật sự đáng nhớ. Họ đã phục vụ mọi khẩu vị ẩm thực của chúng tôi tận tình, lựa chọn những địa điểm ăn uống hoàn hảo dựa trên sở thích của chúng tôi. Quyết định tham gia tour ẩm thực đường phố với họ là một lựa chọn thông minh, giúp tiết kiệm thời gian quý báu mà nếu không có họ, chúng tôi có thể phải lãng phí để tự mình tìm hiểu khắp các con phố Hà Nội. Chúng tôi hết lòng khuyên bạn chọn họ làm hướng dẫn viên; sự thành thạo và tinh tế trong từng chi tiết đã làm cho trải nghiệm của chúng tôi trở nên khó quên.
Đây là một cơ hội tuyệt vời để khám phá văn hóa và ẩm thực của thành phố Hà Nội cùng với người dân địa phương bằng những món ăn đặc trưng. Hướng dẫn viên rất chuyên nghiệp, những địa điểm thú vị và những câu chuyện được kể bởi anh ấy rất lôi cuốn. Tôi chưa bao giờ nghĩ rằng hướng dẫn viên du lịch là những người tuyệt vời như vậy. Chúng tôi đã tip một chút vì cảm thấy anh ấy vô cùng tuyệt vời. Theo cá nhân tôi thì chúng ta nên có văn hóa tip cho những con người đã cống hiến hết mình cho công việc.
We had a perfect tour through the old town. Our city guide Lea gave us excellent insights into history, culture and lifestyle. She left no question unanswered and was very knowledgeable. The restaurant she chose was excellent and the food was excellent. A tour that is absolutely recommended.
