Perfect family friendly food tour! - Great family food tour with our excellent host and tour guide Alice who took us to some great authentic and hidden gems we would never have found, all tailored around our preferences. Great value for money and just have to pay for what you eat on top of the small initial admin charge and option tip at the end. Comes in considerably cheaper than the rest of the tours and more suitable for a family with children that might not be eating as much or at every location. Alice - thank you so much for an excellent tour and a great way to spend our final night in Vietnam.

Great Local Guides - One day before we arrived in Hanoi from Sapa, our tour operator cancelled our booking for a food tour and old quarter walking tour. Fortunately for us, we discovered the Hanoi Free Private Tour Guide. Despite the short notice, they accommodated our request for the tours. The guides were all professional (college students or part time workers) - well groomed, amiable and fluent in English. They provided us with insights of the locals and guided us around Hanoi. We loved the tours so.much that we got them again for a City Tour on our last day in Hanoi. Highly recommended! And yes, the tours are free.

Fun and yummy - The group food tour was so cool, we went to many different places and got to try local food that I wouldn't know otherwise. The guide Alice was very helpful and kind, and explained a lot about food culture in Vietnam. I'm vegetarian so I was worried there may not be enough but there are many options, and the guide always made sure to find the vegetarian options. Overall I really recommend the tour for someone who's new in Vietnam and doesn't know a lot about local food.

Alice is a fantastic guide - Alice was kind enough to show us around a few amazing and very reasonably priced restaurants, at the same time sharing her culture and perspective. She shared recommendations for us to try and showed us the right way to “cheers” in Vietnamese. I’d highly recommend a tour with her!
