It was a great time with Liam! We had a great time and the tour guide is very nice
Great way so see some of the sights of Hanoi while eating some local food. Out guide Kevin was very welcoming and answered all our questions with enthusiasm
Our guide Sabrina was very friendly, great with kids, lots of local knowledge. The food was amazing, our kids loved all the food we tasted. We throughly enjoyed this experience and would highly recommend to others.
Sabrina was a great host who shared her local knowledge of culture and Food within the old Quarter. We went to some great local places to eat. All the food was fresh and delicious. Would highly recommend.

The tour was great. Ceri knew great places for food. It was so good. We enjoyed it very much
We had an amazing time with Ceri, she was such a supportive, fun, and knowledgeable guide!
Sabrina was incredibly punctual, picking us up right on time from our hotel. The food selection throughout the tour was excellent — not the typical Vietnamese dishes I’ve tried before, but something unique and memorable. She is very informative and shared fascinating insights during the trip. When we stopped by several temples, Sabrina explained the history of the places and traditions of the Vietnamese people, which made the experience much richer. Overall, her professionalism, knowledge, and warm personality made this tour truly enjoyable.
Lim was a great guy. Food points were really nice. He showed us a lot of hidden gems.
Sabrina was Perfect. We recommend everyone Sabrina 👌🌺
A highly successful food tour featuring traditional dishes at various spots and a front-row view of Train Street. Our guide, Sabrina, was exceptional—cheerful, great at keeping in touch, and provided clear explanations. It couldn't have been better—top-notch!
It was a fun tour with the Ceri guide. I enjoyed the dumpling and bought it back from far away. Thank you for the enjoyable tour.
Sabrina was an excellent guide. Good knowledge, good Englisch skills, very friendly and polite. And of course with much tasy food from Vietnam. Recommendation!
We had a foodtour with Sabrina, she is a supersweet and profesional tourgide. She showed us around the city and made us feel like V.I.P. Great food and ambiance. She took the time to explain the habits and history. I learned so much from her.

Liam is a well-versed food tour guide. 👏👏👏
We had the privilege of having Ceri as our tour guide. She was amazing! She is very friendly, flexible with our wants and needs, and knowledgeable. Not to forget, she is also a gorgeous young lady with lots of potential and talent! This tour takes away the stress of having to figure out things on our own by giving us the best that Hanoi has to offer in Old Quarter. It was well-paced with fun historical facts peppered in. Definitely worth a try, if you are stopping by Hanoi for a little trip!
Very experienced guide, Ceri was detailed, fun to talk to and engaging to talk to. Her local food introductions was also top tier and fits our palate in a variety of ways. 10/10 would recommend!
Ceri was a wonderful host! Fun and kept things light and interesting. Would love to do this again
Thank you for Ken our tour guide Who is very patient to us. I definitely recommend him to be a tour guide. Very good experience
Excellent tour guide and very patient nd polite
it was a great experience the food-tour..Henry was very kind and friendly, and he knew a lot and gave us interesting information!! Thank you so much :-)
Very friendly, with lots of explanations—a great experience with excellent food, with Henry.
Had an amazing time on the food tour!! Learned lots of interesting information on the town/area. Now for the food... It was all amazing and you'd better bring an adjustable belt as the portions were good size (more than sample size for sure!!) if you want, bring an extra 50,000vnd (plus a bit more for the group to cover the tour guide entry fee) and you can cross a bridge to a small island with beautiful pergolas and temples with amazing sites and story's of the rare turtles and the magic behind them.
Great experience with Sabrina. Unforgetable day with good food and many informations first hand.
Sabrina, thank you for the amazing morning. We had so much to eat and everything was delicious! You really helped our fussy eater to try everything. Thanks also for explaining the history behind the roads, food, drinks- everything!
Sabrina, was a fantastic tour guide. She was very knowledgeable on the history and showed us some great local food venues. We had a great day.
Love the experience. Sabrina was so friendly and kind and helpful. I love all the places she took us to.Thank you Sabrina I really appreciate and enjoyed everything that you shared and did for us.
Really nice food spots with and great Guide who offers a lot of information and great conversation. The spots weren’t over run and all tasted really great. I can really recommend a tour with Sabrina. :)
Our food tour guide was Hieu. He was very informative and mixed history with every food stop. We learned Vietnamese history and tried lots of dishes. Mind and stomach very satisfied.
Loved the tour, Sabrina was really lovely and helped and showed us soo much! Really did her best
We had a great time with Liam, he is a very friendly tour guide with a lot of knowledge about street food and local life. Gladly recommend this tour.
Sabrina (Thu) was an amazing guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Food was excellent. Surprise visit was the "hidden place" without Sabrina you'd never know it was there and she gained special permission for us to visit. I was even taught how to use chopsticks! Would highly recommend if you want to try eating like the locals.
Fabulous walking and eating tour with Sabrina (Thu). She was excellent and so was the choice of food she gave us. A really great cultural experience - thank you Thu
Trinh was amazing for the tour and gave us great information about the area and introduced us to many tasty options that we wouldn’t have otherwise tried. Highly recommended!!
We had a really good experience. Sabrina, our tour guide took is to some really local shops to get food and a less busy spot on the train street, so we could enjoy without all the crowds. She timed it perfectly so when we sat down for a drink a train passed by! We enjoyed different kind of foods and drinks and learned a lot of new stuff from our tour guide. Sabrina was very kind and I would recommend her to everyone!
Amazing wonderful food tour! Food was so local we went to many unique delicious places. We ate 4 smaller-medium sized meals and had drinks and desert and coffee at train street all included. Tour guide was so sweet and awesome. Very knowledgeable about history and culture as-well and history of foods. Highly recommend!
Amaizng!! 10/10. Highly recommend. Ken is great♥️♥️♥️
I think the success of this tour is really dependent on your guide. I booked this based on the reviews but my experience was very different from what I saw in the tour description. The tour was planned poorly and the guide got lost a few times so we walked in circles in the humid heat. We spent more time walking than we did eating. We got to the train street and was told the train wasn’t arriving for an hour. So instead of getting something to eat first, we just sat at the cafe for 20 minutes, finished our drinks, and left. We did not see the train which was one of the main reasons I wanted to do a food tour that included this. As for the food, we only tried 2 savory dishes and 1 sweet dish. None of them were described in the tour description. When asked whether we would get to try the dishes that were described in the tour/seen in the tour photos, we received vague answers and ultimately did not get to try any of them. The tour concluded very abruptly after we finished the sweet dessert. Net-net: the tour promised we would get to try 5-8 dishes but we only got 3 that were not even described in the tour. I won’t name the guide but if you book this please know it’s really the luck of the draw when it comes to who you get and the type of experience you will receive.
Absolute Must-Do in Hanoi! Henry is the best! If you are coming to Hanoi, you absolutely have to book this food and Train Street tour! Our guide, Henry, made this experience truly unforgettable. He took us to some incredible hidden spots and introduced us to amazing, authentic local food that we would have never found on our own. But it wasn’t just about the food. Henry gave us a genuine insight into daily life in Vietnam. He is incredibly knowledgeable, open, and super fun to talk to. We learned so much and had a blast hanging out with him! Seeing the Train Street with him was a highlight, and the entire atmosphere was just perfect. If you want to discover the real Hanoi with a fantastic guide, ask for Henry. Highly, highly recommended! 😊
Visited local restaurants and authentic local food - was great, especially if you are a little bit afraid of trying local food by your own.
Mia was the best guide I could imagine, she was rather a friend! Unforgettable experience!
Ken was phenomenal - he took us to amazing spots we would not have otherwise found and taught us about Vietnamese food and history along the way! Could not have been more friendly, knowledgeable or easy to work with! Ended with specially reserved seats on train street! Highly recommend!!!
We had an incredible experience on this tour. Our tour guide, Ken, was incredibly knowledgeable and excited to share the foods and history of Vietnam with us. He brought us to amazing, local spots including multiples meals of food, dessert and ending with a drink on the famous train street! Would recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Hanoi for the first time!
Thank you very much. Sabrina was a excellent Guide. She was great. We learned a many about the Vietnam Culture
Ken provided a great experience! He made us feel comfortable, is very easy to get along with and was very accommodating as we went through the tour. He also provided great historical background and context. I would highly recommend him and would do the tour myself again, even if just to support him.
Ken was a great guide of the streets of Hanoi. He made the food scene navigable with lots of context. I’d absolutely recommend a tour.
