Our private Street Food Tour through Hanoi’s Old Quarter with Chi was one of the highlights of our trip! From the very beginning, Chi made us feel welcome and comfortable. She was incredibly kind, patient, and especially thoughtful with our daughter, making sure she felt included and enjoyed every part of the tour. That made the experience even more special for our family. Instead of taking us to touristy places, Chi introduced us to authentic local restaurants and food stalls where she loves to eat herself. It felt like exploring Hanoi with a friend who wanted to share her favorite places with us. Every stop was delicious, and we learned so much about Vietnamese cuisine and local culture along the way. We laughed a lot, had wonderful conversations, and enjoyed some of the best food we had during our stay in Hanoi. This tour is absolutely worth it, and we would book it again without hesitation. Thank you, Chi, for such a fun and unforgettable evening!

My was amazing ! A wonderful night - kids loved it and I loved seeing them experience Vietnam through the eyes of a local and eat all the culinary delights. Fabulous tour!
This was a great tour, our guide Max was excellent with the kids who didn’t complain about walking at all on the 2.5 hour tour. We tried some authentic local spots that we would never have come across had we done our research. A nice way to try some local delicacies and have all the stress of ordering and translations taken away! Max was also patient when we wanted to make a stop at a Photo Booth we found en route the journey.
We loved Cherry. She found many places with good food, including food for our 6 year old. Highly recommended for everyone but perfect if you have kids 😄
I did this with my 12-year-old and 10-year-old and they really enjoyed it and it was a great experience for getting them used to 10 day trip in Vietnam. My youngest very much enjoyed our last stop which was vermicelli with barbecue pork! Delicious!
Cherry led a fantastic tour of Old Quarter and some of the delicious food available - particularly engaging our 3-year old, which made it for us. He loved it as much as us! Thank you Cherry!
Cherry’s tour was the highlight of Hanoi, introducing us to amazing food and culture, helping us through the busy streets, and - most of all- charming our kids, 4 and 6 yo girls - who totally fell in love with her! They have been asking about Cherry ever since the tour ended. She made sure we were comfortable with the food, helped us find restrooms and adapted t everything to meet our preferences. Couldn’t recommend this more for families!
We did this on our first full day in Vietnam. Cherry our guide was so kind and made the kids feel so comfortable. We all ate some amazing food and had a great time! A must do we your next in Hanoi!
Amazing tour and we tasted many delicious Vietnamese dishes! Cherry was great with our two kids and took as to places which were kid-friendly with tasty food.
We had a fantastic time with Sandy our guide, sampling some highlights of Hà Nội’s cuisine including bun cha, traditional crispy rice paper rolls, a variety of Vietnamese coffees, desserts and more! Sandy was an absolute legend with the kids, who were both a bit tired from travelling and not their best. Highly recommend this tour if you have a few spare hours to explore Hà Nội’s old quarter and the food on offer. Thank you again Sandy!
Our walking food tour with Cherry was amazing! She was so impressive especially with our 7 year old and had no difficulty making sure we were ok the entire time. She explained things well and was thoughtful. We loved this part of our trip in Hanoi.
We absolutely loved our food tour with Cherry. What really made this special was her attention and care to us and our young son. She became his big sister on our tour and was so knowledgeable about Vietnam and its amazing cuisine. We highly recommend this tour and Cherry in particular
Jenny was our food tour guide and she took us to some amazing local cafes/restaurants to try their food. All of the food was delicious. We really enjoyed walking around the old quarter too. This is the BEST way to try all the local food.
Cherry was absolutely fantastic, this was one of the highlights of our whole tour, she was so accommodating and helped take care of our 1 and a half year old while we ate, such a fantastic person!
Cherry was a wonderful tour guide- taking plenty of time to help us understand the context and history of a really wide variety of Vietnamese food. She took particular care with the children on the tour including a useful lessons in first chopstick usage. All of the restaurants were excellent and it was great to be taken to places which we might not have stopped at usually. Would highly recommend this tour - don’t expect to be able to eat any more afterwards! All delicious
After going on a motorbike food tour with Luke and Patrick last year during a girl’s’ trip it was a given that I would search them out again on this family trip. Along with Andrew and Minh, they crafted an experience that was as fun, educational and heartwarming as it was delicious. We ate an amazing family-style meal, learned about Vietnamese culture, values and family life, and made new friends during our last stop for tea, dessert and a calligraphy demonstration/lesson. Throughout the evening Luke, Patrick, Andrew and Minh scootered us safely around Hanoi and engaged and entertained us all, especially my 10 and 11 year old boys. It truly felt like a night out with friends who are family. I would recommend a tour with them to anyone looking to dive deeper into Vietnam through wonderful food and people.
Having a private tour guide is the best way to enjoy the local food scene in Hanoi while having someone friendly to chat with. Patrick started by asking what I have tried before then customized the food tour based on my preference. He was very kind to let me try snails even though it was not on his regular menu. He said it was his first time ever bringing guests to eat snails. Thanks so much Patrick for going out of your usual route to satisfy your guest’s curiosity. Oh.. I went with my 4 yo daughter and she also had a blast!
A great tour of all sorts of delicious Hanoi street food we wouldn't have found by ourselves! We had our 10yr old daughter with us, & she had loads of fun trying all the food (even though she is fussy!) and wandering the streets. It was also a really good way to see all the old quarter streets, as we were walking. Would highly recommend this both to see Hanoi as well as taste the street food.
great relaxed tour with great service. had young child on the tour and the tour was very accomodating and was fine to walk around and enjoy the tour.
Got to experience an amazing tour with such a kind and friendly tour guide. Mint was an absolute pleasure to tour the city with and she was extremely kind to our kids and patient through out the whole tour.
