Personalized Food Tour at its Finest!

5.00I booked a private food tour with Nick and was thoroughly impressed. Nick has a friendly and casual demeanor, and was highly attentive to the foods I was interested in. I also asked him push my comfort zone so that he did, introducing me to blood pudding and sea worm fritters. Up a tight stairwell to enjoy the tastiest Bun Cha, and down narrow hallways sharing stories of Vietnamese culture. Grabbing a canned beer at a Circle K and then enjoying a cold draft beer at what seemed like a locals-only beer garden felt all too perfect. The night was topped off with homemade coconut ice cream over sticky rice at what felt like someone’s mom’s house. Awesome job Nick! Thank you!
Beautiful and delicious tour.

5.00Bao was a very friendly tour guide who led us through the alleys of the Old Town and treated us to culinary highlights. From the classics to local beer to a refreshing dessert, everything was included. We would book Bai again anytime and wish him all the best and good luck :)

5.00Viet could not have been any better to have worked with for my private street food tour. He was very accommodating and took the time to learn what I had already been exposed to as far as food goes and also what I preferred. He was an excellent guide through introducing me what to eat, how to eat it and I completely enjoyed the day. He also tried very hard to teach me a couple of Vietnamese language basics. I'll have to keep practicing on those!
An excellent experience

5.00This food tour is a must-do in Hanoi! Our guide Patrick helped us navigate the streets and took us to places where locals eat and explained the history behind the Vietnamese street food culture and the gastronomy. We also strolled through the local wet market. He also pointed out a few monuments along the way. There was so much food to try that by the middle of the tour, we were begging for half portions! You must come very very hungry for this tour and wear comfortable footwear.
Awesome experience - Lucky is great!

5.00Kai was my guide on a small group where we went to 6 different local street food restaurants. We had local beer with our food - draft and cans. The food was fantastic and the beer was great also. Kai was extremely knowledgeable and gave us plenty of information about the food, the area and the history of Hanoi. Very highly recommend Kai!
