Hands down the highlight of our Hanoi trip

Incredible food, great pace, and an amazing local host. We tried 6–7 different dishes across the Old Quarter—from fresh spring rolls and noodle dishes to the famous egg coffee—and every single bite was sensational. Our guide was warm, attentive, and full of great stories and recommendations for the rest of our stay. Do yourself a favor and book this on your first night in the city!
