Great intro to Hanoi - We did this walking street food tour on our very first evening in Hanoi, and it turned out to be the perfect introduction to the city. Not only did we get to try a variety of street foods that gave us the confidence to explore more on our own in the following days, but our guide also helped us adjust to Hanoi. From learning how to cross the bustling streets safely to walking along the edge of the road rather than the narrow, crowded footpaths, it was as much a lesson in navigating the city as it was a culinary adventure. Our guide Chung was friendly and adaptable. We enjoyed chatting to him about life in Vietnam. The food stops were all carefully chosen, offering a mix of flavors and dishes that we might never have found by ourselves. Doing this tour right at the start of our visit made such a difference, we felt immediately more oriented and less overwhelmed by the chaos of the Old Quarter. I’d highly recommend booking this tour upon arrival in Hanoi. It’s the perfect way to immerse yourself in the city’s energy, try fantastic food, and pick up essential local tips that make the rest of your stay much easier and more enjoyable.

There are only four foods... - There are only four foods included so don't know why it says ten. The trip lasts less than 2.5hrs. This makes it very expensive for what it is.
