Great food tour with informative guide - This food tour was great and we had a lovely time visiting 7 different places in Hanoi’s old quarter. It was great chatting with Minh and she really tailored the dishes we tired based on our interests and likes. Minh was very informative and friendly and I would recommend this tour to anyone!

Amazing food - Minh is absolutely amazing! This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. She took us to so many delicious spots, each with its own unique flavor and local charm. I never thought I’d enjoy eel, but Minh changed my mind and now I love it! We tried so many dishes we never would have discovered on our own, and Minh made the experience fun, informative, and super tasty. If you’re in Hanoi, don’t miss the chance to take a tour with him. Highly recommended!

Best start to a trip! - Amazing start to our trip! We got to experience a Hanoi we’d have never found on our own - in places we probably would have not even seen. The food was incredible, and Minh was the best combination of relaxed and organised. She is a natural host and makes a point of supporting local. Loved the coconut ice cream and dry chicken noodles, as well as the chats! Fun group too. It’s a no brainer to do this tour, even if you’re a little unsure whether you’ll like all the different textures and flavours. Minh will look after you!

A must do when visiting Hanoi - Logan had to step in at the last minute. Mihn was very apologetic that she couldn’t make it because her daughter was unwell. Logan was brilliant. A very pleasant young man who speaks excellent English. His tour was great fun and a really good experience which as a tourist you couldn’t do on your own. Highly recommended

Crispy, crunchy, dunky deliciousness - Personable, friendly guide, great variety of food, many of which may be knew to you, not too much walking. Highly recommend you book this experience.

Highly recommended tour - Minh is a super nice person. Not only did we try a lot of different dishes, but she also told so much about everyday Vietnamese life. It was a very nice evening, we were a great group. Afterwards, she not only sent us a list of the restaurants she visited, but also gave us more tips.

Great time, in spite of administrative glitches - This tour was really fun, and got us to visit places and eat foods that we would never have done otherwise! From sandworms to perfectly cooked duck, the food was delicious at every stop, and Minh did a great job organizing the whole adventure. The only glitch for us was that there was miscommunication between Minh and Airbnb (who books this trip), and she didn't get confirmation of our booking, even though we had received written confirmation and were able to see the charge gone through our credit card. It was stressful at the end, as Minh was genuinely worried about not getting paid, and suggesting that we pay her directly and then try to reclaim the money by saying that we hadn't enjoyed the tour. We didn't want to lie or misrepresent how great the tour was, and the following day she was able to work it out with Airbnb.
