5.00Booked the Hanoi Coffee Culture Tour and ended up with Nick as my guide—what a gem! I was the only one on the tour, so it felt like a completely private adventure with a super knowledgeable local. He took me to 4-5 authentic, hidden spots in the Old Quarter (no tourist traps), sharing great stories about Vietnamese coffee culture, bean types, and local traditions. We tried amazing egg coffee, banana coffee, salt coffee, and a couple of creative twists—all delicious and perfectly paced just for me. Easy walking pace, tons of photos and questions answered patiently. He even tipped me off to extra spots for later. If you love coffee or want a fun, insightful look at Hanoi life, this tour with Nick is a must. Felt like exploring with a knowledgeable local friend. 10/10—would do it again in a heartbeat! ☕
Great morning tour
