Amazing food walk

Had an amazing experience. Nick, our guide, was patient and knowledgeable and not just took us to 5 amazing spots for dinner, dessert and coffee but also shared some really nice tidbits of Hanoi and Vietnamese history and culture which we wouldn't have otherwise discovered. In spite of the rain, it was super fun. Highly, highly recommend it!

Amazing and Authentic Food Tour with Bob

We had such a great time with Bob! He was super friendly, easygoing and fun, and really adapted the tour to what we liked. The whole experience felt very local and authentic, including a stop at his mom’s place, where we had some really delicious food. Bob knows a lot about Vietnamese food and culture and explained everything in a really interesting and natural way. We felt comfortable with him from the first few minutes and had a great connection throughout the tour. Great food, great atmosphere and a really fun experience. Highly recommended!

Great tour

Mai is a great local food guide! She was very knowledgeable and friendly. We visited unique places, where for sure we wouldn’t go without Mai! She also made sure that there were some vegetarian/vegan options for us. Thank you!

Really great food tour

Bob took good care of our families during this food tour. It is one of the best food tours we've done, and one of the highlights of our trip. Bob took time to explain the food and local culture to us, and took us to delicious spots we would not have found otherwise. Highly recommend this tour.
