Easy to arrange and great tour
Great way to get a taste of Hanoi and find some amazing places to eat!
Highly recommend tour, great guide
A wonderful experience; we really enjoyed wandering the streets of Hanoi and tasting the most iconic dishes of Vietnamese cuisine. We likely stopped at excellent spots that truly reflect the local authenticity. Our guide was fantastic—super helpful and great company.
Wow, you must do this tour in Hanoi. Bob (our local guide) took us to some wonderful places and told us about the food and the area. He has a lovely, friendly manner and my teenagers thought he was great too. They said it was their favourite night of the holiday (and we had been to Singapore and Thailand list before Hanoi). This is excellent value for money as you get to try several dishes, you won't be disappointed. Thanks to Bob for a wonderful evening.
We had an amazing foodtour with Minh. He showed us all the best places for streetfood and we really went places we never would’ve found on our own. Definitely recommend!
We loved our food tour around Hanoi old quarter! Ricky was a great guide, and every stop was delicious, with a good variety including a nice stop at a craft beer spot. The tour was the perfect way to get comfortable trying all the local spots. Having a small group made the experience intimate and even though it was day 1 we are sure it will be a highlight of our trip. Cannot recommend enough!
Some of eateries not hygienic
I had such a great time with Patrick and 2 lovely girls walking around the Old Town trying all sorts of food and chatting. Even though I have done several other food tours in Vietnam, everything we tried was new, with Patrick being very responsive to what were interested in. Patrick was a great conversationalist and the hours for by. The list of sites visits, recommendations for the following days and photos were all highly appreciated. 100% recommend this tour.
Nick was amazing, all the food was fantastic. It is a great way to try lots of foods you’d never notice or order!
Great host, loads of fun, don’t eat all day before you go! Really worth taking the time to do the tour so you understand Vietnamese food a little better.
What a fabulous night we had with our guide, Minh. As another couple cancelled right at pick up time, it turned out to be a private tour, so Minh was very free and easy selecting dishes to suit our tastes. Every dish was amazing and an adventure making our way to each place. It was such a fun, casual night and exploring some of the back alleys was certainly an eye opener.
An excellent tour. Chi is a Hanoi resident of Hanoi, who took us to her local favourites. The food was excellent and the conversation flowed easily ( despite the different languages in the group) due to her easy style and she was happy to answer all our questions and provide suggestions for other places to visit. The food was plentiful and the small group size made for a very enjoyable evening. I would highly recommend this tour.
Such a great way to sample several essential Vietnamese dishes! Our guide Mai was knowledgeable and friendly and spoke perfect English. I recommend doing this at the beginning of your stay in Hanoi because we received several great recommendations for food, shopping, and activities.
Vietnam Bob crushed it. Nice combo of history, local culture and hole in the wall restaurants. We couldn’t make the initial booking and the company was kind enough to let us reschedule last minute.
This tour is the best way to spend the day eating across Hanoi. Every meal was better than the previous one. Our guide was super informative and provided a great understanding of Vietnamese food. I highly recommend this tour for any foodie looking to understand Vietnamese cuisine better.
Chi gave the best tour!!! She was extremely knowledgeable and was able to teach us all about Vietnamese food and culture. She was personable and friendly and we felt very comfortable in her care- we’d recommend her tour to everyone!
We had an amazing street food tour with Patrick - he showed us some really great places and we were able to try so many delicious food!! We left feeling like stuffed geese :P Patrick was also super knowledgeable and we could ask him anything - it was very interesting. Also, in the end he gave us some further recommendations which we appreciated a lot! Thank you very much!
A great introduction to the Vietnamese food scene in Hanoi; our guide Linh was very helpful and explained everything welL. Thank you
Great experience with the group and Bob the wild rice. You’ll get a good selection of options with the tour and if you bring the right energy I’m sure he will match it. I had a great time with him as our groups tour guide. Eat up and enjoy!
We had Minh as a tour guide and he was fantastic! The food was delicious too and he checks in a lot to see if there’s something specific we wanted to try. Very fun evening and the food was delicious too.
We loved this food tour! Peter chose great examples of Vietnamese food to try. He was knowledgeable about the food and its history and also the history of Vietnam. A fun evening.
Peter guided our small group with a lot of passion and dedication through the culinary highlights of Hanoi and North Vietnam. Every outlet and meal was carefully selected and nicely explained. For all the different meals Peter mentioned a nice anecdote to provide context - either from cultural, culinary or simply craftmanship perspective. By this you learn a lot beyond just great taste and are also able to avoid some cruicial mistakes with all the different offers you will find during your trip. Peter also took well into consideration preferences of the quite mixed group. So 100% recommendation (and make sure you have a lot of space :). Worth every cent!
My number one fear was getting sick so I wanted to book a tour. I couldn’t have picked a better one. Lucky is awesome and the food was delicious. Book this tour!
Guide Mai was very knowledgeable and a great host. The food was a great introduction. I would recommend doing this tour early in your trip. The desert was my favourite and to die for.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable Vietnam Food Tour Experience! We absolutely loved our Vietnam Food Tour – Private Walking Tour! Our guide, Mai, was incredible, so knowledgeable, warm, and full of fascinating insights about both the food and local culture. The food selection was super diverse and every stop was better than the last. Tip: Go hungry, there’s a lot of food, and every stop is worth it! We left feeling educated, inspired to expand our palate, and completely satisfied (and full!). This was one of the best experiences of our trip, and we’ll 100% be doing it again! Highly recommend to anyone visiting Vietnam.
Mai is an enthusiastic guide who loves her city and we visited very cozy and traditional food places where we tried the real Vietnamese food, the same she eats every day since she was a child. I really loved the Pho and the roasted duck ban mi 💚
The food spots were great, good variety and they give you about of food l! Huyng was great - answered all our questions and gave us some good tips.
Mai was our tour guide, she talked about the Vietnamese culture and food and answered our questions. Mia took us to a good variety of eating places where we tried a variety of local foods
Luke was an amazing tour guide who made a wet and rainy day an experience that my family and I will never forget! From the incredible food and fun facts we learnt about Vietnam, the experience is one I would recommend. Thank you!
This was an excellent tour! Luke was a super fun guide and brought the small Group to 7 different places to try different foodies. Loved it! It was a great start for my Hanoi adventure. Luke explained everything well and very kind.
Excellent. Mai was very friendly and welcoming. She was interested in learning about you, where you lived, had you been to Vietnam before. She was very knowledgeable about the city and took us to places off the beaten track where we would never have found if we went looking for them on our own. She introduced us to authentic Vietnamese food and we tried , and enjoyed, eating food we never would have eaten otherwise. The food was delicious.
Wonderful experience with our guide Luke, showed us the hidden gems and dishes we never would have been able to find ourselves.
My Hanoi Street Food Tour experience was absolutely wonderful, Luke was my tour guide and he was super friendly, informative and engaging. We’ve been to great places and tried lots of delicious local foods and desert and drinks until we didn’t have anymore room! Also really enjoyed walking around the streets and the conversations with each other. It all truly made it an unforgettable experience. Definitely recommend doing this tour when you’re in Hanoi !
I had an excellent time on the tour - the food was fantastic and Luke, our guide, was so knowledgeable, friendly and punctual. Loved the tour and the whole experience from start to finish was great! Highly recommend as a solo female traveller.
We had a good experience in this tour. Really helped us immerse in the old quarter’s food scene. Our tour guide, Luke, was a gracious host. Thanks, Luke!
Luke was a great guide. He spoke beautiful English and checked everyone's food and dietary requirements before we set out on foot. He took us to many delicious places, some that I would not have considered going into. Definitely ate way too much that evening. So make sure you are hungry when you go!
Luke was a great guide! He took us to many nice spots all around the old quarter + he made sure to text us all the best tips to continue or trip in Hanoi. Thanks for the great evening!
Luke was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He was considerate of our dietary requirements (vegetarian) and made sure the whole group was looked after and felt included. The food was excellent and the tour was perfectly paced. Luke’s spoken english was excellent - he kept us entertained throughout. Overall, a great service! Thank you.
I'm glad I did the solo tour! Max was able to accommodate my pace. He introduced me to some great spots, one of which I had to revisit before I left Hanoi. He also shared tips for other services (such as spas) and gave me recommendations for other cities. I would definitely recommend this tour!
Linh was amazing. She is so sweet, kind and accommodating. She showed us several great spots and provided the history of the food as well. It was both delicious and very interesting. She has a great sense of humour and her English is very impressive. Highly recommend
What a nice way to explore Hanoi and all the delicious food. Luke was a really nice and friendly guide who knows a lot about (street) food
The tour was great! Our guide Lucky was awesome. He taught how to navigate the city, showed us some delicious food/the proper way to eat it and gave us a lot of great information on Hanoi’s history as well as what makes Vietnam so great. It was a great way to start off our trip in Hanoi as it made me feel more comfortable navigating the city and allowed me to appreciate the city that much more!
Because of Minh we saw and the best out of hanoi. Minh is the best. Friendly, intelligent, funny and knowledgeable. We are everything that you can imagine
Great food tour. Several stops with small meals, favourite was the summer rolls. Some beer and egg coffee stops too.
Great experience to start our Vietnamese holiday! Our foodie guide James, took us on a food sampling exploration that had us rolling back to our hotel, so full with amazing local classics. James was very friendly and happy to share his local foodie knowledge plus more! Thankyou James & Hanoi Food Tasting Tours!
A really enjoyable tour with Max. One of our favourite we’ve ever done. Delicious food at every stop so we now know what to order. Great fun too.
Food was great and the guide was so kind. It was like hanging out with a friend. She also helped me to view train street! Thanks!
Luke was an outstanding guide on Our Hanoi Street Food tour. The food was excellent, the portions were generous, the pacing was perfect, and Luke offered warmth, friendliness and wisdom.
