An incredible introduction to Hanoi food - We had such an amazing food tour with Emily on our first day in Hanoi and Vietnam. It was such a wonderful way of getting to know the city and the food, and Emily was a brilliant guide! We tried such a good range of food - savoury and sweet. Would highly recommend, especially on your first day!

Great food tour with Emily - Great food tour around the Old Quarter with Emily. She showed us dry pho (my new favorite dish) which I would probably not have discovered on my own, along with several other tasty items, including a dessert shop with coconut ice cream and pandan sticky rice (yum). Very worth it if you are in Hanoi.

Amazing experience - Emily was a fantastic guide for our food tour around Hanoi. A small group of only 4 people meant we really experienced local food. Every bite was incredible! Thank you Emily for such a great way to start our Vietnam trip!

Amazing Tour - We really loved the food tour with Emily. The meals were tasty and the atmosphere very nice. We were a small group but that made it all the better. Would really recommend this tour with Emily. We could ask all the questions and had intereresting conversations.
She even left us her number so we could text her during our remaining time in Hanoi for more tips.
Thank you!
