Good English spending guide - The tour was great dun, the guide was very good at explaining everything and was very enthusiastic and had a nice energy, we walked around to different places and tried a variety of foods. She was very friendly, book her if you are in the old town and want a food tour.

Great Guide and Fantastic Local Food! - I had a wonderful street food tour in Hanoi! Our guide was extremely kind, smiling, and very professional. She listened carefully to our food preferences and made sure everything matched what we liked. We were able to try many different local dishes, and it was an amazing way to discover Hanoi’s authentic flavors. I highly recommend this tour and her guiding. It was a great experience from start to finish!

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!!

Incredible food tour with the most incredibly guide - Our friends did a food tour with Cherry when they were in Hanoi and they insisted we did too. Cherry exceeded our expectations- she is an absolute gem of a person, we all instantly adored her. Her English is excellent, she is incredibly knowledgeable about food and about Hanoi, we feel like we had a walking tour of the old quarter and a food tour- she took us places we never would have found on our own and everything we ate was incredible. She is engaging, warm and generous, everywhere she took us they clearly loved her as well, I couldn’t rate her more highly, an absolute must do if you are in Hanoi.

The best food! - Cherry! You are absolutely amazing! The places are off the beaten track and not where tourists would think to go, the food was amazing. Honestly the best food we had in Hanoi and possibly Vietnam. I still dream about Bun Cha and have not been able to find it in Perth. Thank you Cherry for showing us where you went to school, where you grew up and the places that you eat. You are a truly wonderful person and we can’t wait to come back to do it all over again.
