Definitely worth it, amazing food experience. - The food scene in Hanoi is amazing, even for vegans! So glad we did the tour, our host Huong was amazing, so insightful and helpful. We tried about ten different dishes in lots of places we usually wouldn’t and now have the confidence to be more adventurous for the rest of our holiday. Thanks so much!

So not miss this! - OMG, Ling is absolutely the best! What a wonderful guide and a great personality. We had a wonderful time, not just the food, but also the information she provided about the city and about her postdocs life.

Good for Vegetarian as well - Excellent tour guide and great food tasting. We were able to have good vegetarian options on this tour. It was at comfortable pace. Guide had good knowledge about local cuisines. This helped us later to find right places due to vegetarian food restrictions.

Vegan Foodie Heaven 🇻🇳 - Thank you so much to Trang for a fun night out in Hanoi! She was very understanding and accommodating of our dietary needs (as well as checking for any allergies before the tour started) The food we tried was delicious & there was plenty of it - make sure you don't have lunch before you go! Trang was super friendly, knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions we had. 10/10.

An absolute highlight, not only for the stomach! - Yen made our start in Hanoi one of our highlights with her warm manner, versatile knowledge and superb food choices. It was the perfect introduction to the very rich vegan food world in Vietnam. She gave us super practical tips (about food and travel in Vietnam in general) as well as lots of exciting information about the history and culture of Vietnam. Many thanks for this beautiful experience!

Enjoyable tour with Pinky - We had such a great tour with Pinky! Her enthusiasm was amazing. We especially enjoyed the sticky rice dish and dry Pho. Just a thought - maybe a bit bigger portions for big groups would be good. We'd definitely want Pinky as our guide again :) <3

Awesome tour - It was wonderful! Our guide was Jasmine and she was so much fun and enthusiastic. She explained a lot about Vietnamese culture, about the food, and I tried dishes I never would've had otherwise. Highly recommend!

Recommended - even for non-vegans - We were a group of 4, of which only one of us was vegan. However the food throughout was excellent - tasty and filling. Vy was an excellent guide, informative and able to answer all our questions and queries. The tour exceeded all my expectations (as a non-vegan), I would do it again and I certainly wouldn’t be put off trying more.

The best vegetarian or vegan food you will eat - Vy was an incredible host who took us to eat amazing vegetarian food. We ate at some very hidden places that we would not have been able to find alone. I recommend doing this tour early on your visit to Hanoi so you can return to your favourite food stops later. Note: we are veggie, but we were asked about our preferences before starting the tour. Vy had a perfect understanding of vegetarian, vegan, pescetarian etc. including any allergies
