If you are in Hanoi, you must do this tour. I cannot recommend it highly enough! Tilly was very accommodating and knowledgeable, and gave us very helpful advice for our time in Vietnam.

Best food tour ever, Tera was the best guide! - My husband and I had the most amazing time on this tour! We ate so many delicious foods that we had never tried before. First we had an amazing banh mi and it was so helpful that our guide waited in line for us while we sat comfortably inside. After that we tried some rice rolls and she taught us how to eat them and clean our chopsticks the traditional Vietnamese way. Next, we went to get some summer rolls and some dry noodles with chicken and roasted peanuts - LOVED. Then it was time for dessert - this was my favorite part. We had a really yummy sweet cold soup which was perfect for this weather. Afterwards, we tried Vietnamese coffee on a beautiful balcony with an amazing view, before heading to train street!! I cannot recommend this tour highly enough! Tera was an amazing guide!!!!

If you don’t know to go or not - GO! - It was a great experience! Exactly what we wanted. If you are scarred to go alone to these small food places - this tour is for you! No consequences after 😂 our buddy - Sarah - was amazing! Very friendly, shared lots of interesting information, including her way how to cross the road in Hanoi. Thank you for these memories! ❤️

Great experience, highly recommended! - The tour was even better then we expected! Not only did we taste various Vietnamese dishes (both savoury and sweet), our guide Phùng Minh Yến told us a lot of information about the history and culture of Vietnam. Besides, she gave a lot of tips for the rest of our trip and she was nice company. We even went to Train Street en had a beer. It was worth every cent!

Fun, informative, FILLING! - This tour for us is the best way to eat your way through the old quarter. It is sometimes a challenge to order from small stalls especially when the owners do not know how to speak english. Having a local guide makes ordering a breeze. We did the old quarter walking tour with Sarah and she was just lovely! She ordered all the best things and maybe because of their relationship with the store owners she was able to get smaller sized portions for us (to better able to enjoy the 5 food stops). She taught us what dips and herbs to pair with what food. She was also eager to share about vietnamese culture and history so as a tourist it helps you understand better how locals live and helps you know more about Hanoi. She was very helpful in helping us find the best and cheapest places to buy souvenirs. Overall a knowledgeable, fun, accomodating, enthusiastic tour guide. Thank you, Sarah! -Josef and Bree

The perfect way to see Hanoi at the start of a trip! - Had an amazing experience with Chloe, she walked and guided us around, showing us sites and giving us an excellent history of the area and took us for amazing food. The perfect first thing to do in this city to be fed and ask questions I feel equipped to check out the rest of the area now! Thank you Chloe!
