Best food tour in the whole of Vietnam!!!! - Jennie was so informative and took us to some of the nicest tasting food places that we ate in the whole of Vietnam. It was an excellent way to see Hanoi off the beaten track and take us to places we otherwise wouldn’t have known or even gone too. She is so enthusiastic and such a nice person - I would highly recommend for anyone to go on this tour!!!!! Thank you for everything 👍

The Hanoi food tour for foodies! - My teenage son and I got to experience so many authentic Hanoi dishes in little alleys and taste dishes that we would never been able to find by ourselves. As we had already travelled for 6 weeks in Vietnam, we had tried all the well known dishes. So Cherry found us an amazing selection of Old Town restaurants and dishes that we hadn't tried before - all were fresh and delicious! Cherry has the inside knowledge and deep understanding of the local food scene and the street vendors. A must for all foodies that want an in-depth Hanoi food experience.

Recommendation for every foodie in Vietnam! - Wow, this tour was great! We learned so much this night, not only about alllll the different dishes Vietnam has to offer (and yes, it’s more than Banh Mi but it’s still so good), but Cherry also was the first person after travelling in Vietnam for 3 weeks, who told us something about the Vietnamese culture/way of living. The combination of it all made it a perfect tour for us! Would definitely recommend!!
