[email protected] - Mình is amazing. I am local and she planned a whole tour around food I had never tried. If you want banh mi and pho bo, she can do it, but if you want a unique experience she is the best. She will plan the trip around the food you want and haven't tried. Minh. 10/10!!

Great food and great guide - This was such a good tour. Plenty of food, and Jerry was very knowledgeable. My favorite thing is that she gave so many suggestions of other places to try, so not only did we eat good food that night, we could try other spots during our stay in Hanoi. The group size was perfect, enough to chit chat with others but not overwhelming. Do this tour!

Amazing street food tour with Jery - Jerry took us on a fantastic food tour around the ancient town of Hanoi. Such a good luck to come with this guy! We walked around 6 places to try 7 stunning dishes. Hanging out with Jerry, the tour is not just a food tour, he shared us a lot about lifestyles and local custom, which we were really curious about. The highlights of the tour should be the local desserts, super tasty and yummy. Definitely will come back these eateries!!!
