Delicious start to our Vietnam journey. - Patrick couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Being veggie was no problem and every dish we tried was delicious. Resist the temptation to finish everything - we got very full!

Unbelievably good food tour!!! - We had the most amazing time on this tour with Patrick! We went into it expecting to like some things and not like others but every single pit stop was a 10/10! We’d already been in Hanoi a few days but Patrick got us to try so many things we never would have tried otherwise and we’ve found our new favourites! A mix of savoury, sweet and drinks, it was just perfect :) very full bellies and very happy customers! He also gave us so many recommendations for the rest of our trip we can’t wait to try.

Great food in places we'd never have tried - This was a fantastic tour, Nick was helpful, informative and fun. We were a group of 8 and booked a private tour. One of our group is gluten free which we advised in advance and she was really accommodated. The day before we asked if the tour could include a stop at train street to see a train and Nick got us front row! Everyone in our group said this tour was a highlight and I would highly highly recommend it

Amazing tour for foodies - Great tour to visit the old quarter of Hanoi and try the best north Vietnamese specialties. Thanks Bob for the experience and the good mood despite the fact we were absolutely exhausted after our flight. See you back soon

Food Tour :) - It was great, we went with Nick and he was really kind and funny. The food spots were amazing, especially the papaya salad and the egg coffee :)

Great food tour - Awesome experience. The guide, Bob, took us to all the best spots (including his mum’s restaurant - my personal favourite). We also stopped at Train Street with a front row seat. The food was great, Bob was fun and very personable. Plus he gave us some great ideas for pubs and cocktail bars which were also spot on.

Delicious culinary adventure - Be ready for a delicious culinary adventure. Street food means just that—eating at makeshift tables, kitchens open to the street, small plastic stools. Mai was a terrific guide—knowledgeable and fun. She told us about the culture and history along the way in between food tastings, which enriched the experience. Highly recommend. For ladies, do not wear a dress or skirt. You will be almost sitting on the floor, stools are very low.

Great vegan walking tour experience - We booked last minute and ended up having a private tour with Linh, who was very sweet and personable. She accommodated our vegan/vegetarian dietary requirements, taking us to a variety of restaurants and food stalls in the Old Quarter. Her English was great and she seemed genuinely enthusiastic to be sharing Vietnamese food culture with us. We tried so many dishes that we didn’t have to eat again until evening - make sure you’re hungry when you arrive for the tour! ;)

Fantastic tour with Mai Mai - Fantastic food tour with Mai Mai. Extremely good food, we even went back to one of the places the next day. Appreciated chatting about local life and the WhatsApp guide of the places we visited.

The guide was very good... - The guide was very good and the food was good. The places were so dirty and unhygienic that I will not go there again in my lifetime.
