Excellent food and guide - Our hostess was amazing! She brought me and my partner to try some incredible local cuisine that was familiar but with an interesting spin/twist to the classic dishes. The food was in abundance (we were full - and I usually eat a lot!) and everything tasted amazing!!! We're both non-meat eaters and she made sure our dietary requirements were met all the way. I even got to make my own Banh Cuon and it was super fun!!! The little spots and alley walks we went on were sprinkled with lots of interesting stories and insights into how some people live in Hanoi. All of it were super interesting too. All in all, a perfect way to start our first evening in Hanoi. Seriously, do it. You'll get so much out of it, especially if you don't speak the language and are new to the city.

Amazing food tour! Ella is awesome - Had the best food tour I’ve ever taken with Ella. My husband and I stopped by Hanoi on our honeymoon, and booked a private tour with Ella based on TripAdvisor/Reddit. She was super responsive on email, and the tour was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable about Vietnamese food and Hanoi, and took us to some of the best places in the Old Quarter - we loved the banh mi, bun cha, and the bia hoi! She was also great to chat with, and gave us more recommendations for after the tour. Thank you Ella! We would highly recommend Ella and would take a tour with her again.

Amazing - Ella is the best! She took us to the best local places and explained everything about the food, culture and history of the city and Vietnam in general. הכי טובה לישראלים סיור מושלם!!!!

Best food tour in Hanoi - Ella’s food tour was amazing and so much fun. Would highly recommend for anyone, couples, friends, or solo. Super social and Ella has a great sense of humor and chooses good places to try good food :)

Unforgettable food tour in the old quarter - Ella was fantastic and showed us the authentic parts of the Old Quarter with delicious food and gave us more context into the origins of the dishes we ate. She is very personable and made sure everyone in our group was engaged. This is a tour I would happily do again, you’d be lucky to score a spot!

Great experience - Ella is knowledgeable, and shares her stories of growing up in Vietnam during the tour- a unique experience and much better than trying these food places on your own. You also get to meet incredible people from different countries, also traveling SE Asia on this tour, which was one of my favorite parts of the experience.

Great experience to explore the area, learn about the culture and the food and meet new people - Ella is the nicest person and you’ll have an amazing time! I highly recommend it. Also very good to meet people if you’re solo traveling!

Hanoi Food Tour - Ella is amazing! Super thorough and knowledgeable and shares a lot of her personal experiences so you really get to blend in like a local. The food stops were phenomenal! The sticky rice with ice cream was my favorite! Highly recommend this tour with Ella!

Had a great time! - Had so much fun with Ella! I did a lunchtime tour. Ella is so funny and charismatic and her English is perfect - she showed us so much INCREDIBLE food, I was in a food coma at the end. Thanks Ella!

Double check who your tour guide is - I would highly recommend you confirm who your tour guide is beforehand. My group was left confused and a bit disappointed when we were greeted by someone else other than Ella, and having a different tour guide was not communicated to us beforehand. Our guide Anna was lovely, but we wish she had been more interactive with us and her English was challenging for us to understand at times.
