Iconic food, coffee and train street tour with brilliant guide Trung - We are an Aussie couple who adored our Hanoi food tour and visit to train street. Trung was an expert guide, leading us around the city to amazing food and drink spots. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Hoi An and we saw places we wouldn’t have seen on our own! The food was incredible and we loved visiting train street when the train went past, with Trung even giving us bottle tops to place on tge track and collect at souvenirs. Highly recommend Trung and Jenny from the blog walking tours.

Your Personal Travel Concierge in Vietnam - Jenny From The Blog - I just want to give a big shout-out to Jenny from Jenny from the blog. I cannot recommend Jenny and her husband, Trung, highly enough. My husband even calls Jenny our personal Travel Concierge! Here’s what she organised for us: • Ho Chi Minh City Private food tour by jeep - We loved the food, and our kids absolutely enjoyed the jeep ride. • D-car transfers to and from multiple airports (Nha Trang, Hai Phong, Hanoi) - Jenny always sent us a photo of the car and the driver’s details beforehand. • Ha Long Bay cruise with Elite of the Seas. • Private Ninh Binh day tour - Trung was our guide and made the day memorable. • Hanoi walking food tour with Jenny herself - Train Street was both scary and epic! It was crowded, but she made sure we had seats. What stood out most was Jenny’s personal touch - she always checked in before and after each activity to make sure everything went smoothly and that we were happy. Thanks to Jenny, our trip was not only stress-free but also filled with unforgettable memories.

Just trust Jenny from the Blog! - Amazing! We were met at our hotel and spent almost 5 hours exploring Hanoi and tasting the most incredible food We were lucky enough to watch the train go through from Train Street with a beer in hand from a first floor balcony, eat Pho from the best place in town and enjoy Bhn mi from secret back room. Several other great food stops and constant history and geography information. We cannot recommend enough.

Excellent service and tour company - We arrived in Hanoi with our family and Jenny had our transfers, accomodation, tours and walking food tour organised. It was a relief to get to Hanoi and not have to worry about a thing! Communication was excellent and we felt reassured when we had to change our plans due to bad weather that Jenny would have us sorted, and she did! Her husband Trung did our food tour and his knowledge was amazing. Can highly recommend booking through Jenny from the blog.

Soooo good! - Trung took us to all of the food spots that no tourists know about. Some were just a hole in a wall, up a hall, stairs, and then to find a secret haven where most of the patrons were locals. Trung also had an extremely good knowledge of the landmarks and history of Hanoi and his country, which was so interesting during the tour. The best part was that he didn’t rush, he was very patient and nice company. We felt very comfortable and safe, plus all of the food was soooo good!! I will definitely be passing on his and Jenny’s details to my friends if they travel to Hanoi. 11 out of 10, thanks Trung🙏

- We highly recommend Jenny from the Blog. We booked the Walking tour after reading fab reviews and very glad we did as it was a highlight of our whole time in Vietnam. Trung met us at our hotel then took us to Train Street for coffee which he had a table reservation made already and what a vibe that was! We then hit the streets of Hanoi weaving through cute streets and checking out lots of hidden gems you wouldn’t find by yourself. We stopped for Bahn Mi (25) then dined on Bun Cha which Trung taught us how to best eat it, Many other dishes and drinks were sampled while winding through the streets including Egg coffee and being coffee lovers it was great! It was a super hot and humid day however kids handled it well with the stops along the way. We are truly grateful for your hospitality & sharing your knowledge of Hanoi and have already recommended you to many. Thanks again

Delicious food and a perfect afternoon - We were recommended the walking tour by. Family we met on our travels. We booked in with Jenny on messenger and the afternoon we had with her was fabulous. So many amazing dishes and drinks along the way. Very generous meals, walking through the markets and finishing at train street. The Pho, Banh mi and Bun Cha were the best we’ve had. Jenny even helped with a touch of shopping along the way from items our girls spotted while standing in line. The tour was a fabulous way to finish our time in Vietnam, so glad we did this and highly recommend,

Walking Through Hanoi - Trung took us on our (2 adults and 2 teens) walking tour through Hanoi, and it was such a great day. He clearly loves what he does and took the time to show us the features and sights of the old quarter while guiding us through the local Vietnamese food and coffee. We have some very fussy eaters, and he helped to explain and cater to our needs. It was an intensely hot day, and Trung was more than happy to make extra stops so we could get more cold drinks and recharge. He also took photos of our family and sent them through to us so that we have photos of our day. I completely recommend the walking tour, it made our trip to Hanoi memorable.
