5.00This food tour including Train St was a great start to our stay in Hanoi. The food in the Old Quarter was excellent, exceeding expectations with its variety & quality. Our pickup was a little delayed, however we can't give enough praise to Chung, the food tour operator for making sure we got there after our taxi dropped us off at the wrong end of a closed street. And we couldn't have wished for a better tour guide than Minh who not only was great company but very knowledgeable about Hanoi and the Old Quarter. He obviously knew the best places to take us for the tastiest street food. Despite our hesitancy on appearances of some premises, we enjoyed the food immensely with no ill effects.
An excellent, safe and informative trip!

5.00The guide David, was excellent, the best tour guide we have had on our trip Asia. David informed us of the history when he took us to the prison without prejudice. He took us for street food which was very good. He took us to the temple and church and was able to inform us of all the history behind each building. He was able to answer any question we ask. Every time he called the driver to pick us up, he arrived no more than 5 mins later, excellent! We felt very safe!

5.00We arranged this trip to help us see the key sites in hanoi while getting a feel for the city. Our host James was lovely, very knowledgeable and looked after us well. The tour was just the right pace, we saw plenty without feeling rushed, and got a sense of where we might want to go back for a longer visit. James made sure we were at the Mausoleum at the right time to be able to see Ho Chi Minh, and got us to train street for lunch and of course, the train. Our driver was great, always just on hand when needed. James also gave us great suggestions before and after the tour on local restaurants and was our photographer in chief! Definitely recommend.
Great Local Foodie Tour

5.00Our tour guide Bobby was very knowledgeable, friendly, energetic and a great English speaking guide. This was our first day in Hanoi and it was a great way to start our trip, tasting some of the local foods in the Old Quarter. Bobby asked us what foods we wanted to try and he delivered and accommodated our requests. It wasn’t a normal scripted food tour that I’ve encountered on other tours. Everything we ate was great and delicious . Too bad we were so full we didn’t have room for some of the other foods he was going to feed us. He even took us to see the Train street even though it wasn’t part of the tour and provided other food recommendations to try. I definitely recommend taking this tour and Bobby as your guide.

5.00The street food tour is highly recommended. Bobby, our tour guide, took us to some inconspicuous places so we could test a variety of different menus. Explain that and show how what is eaten helpfully. Bobby was able to bring us closer to culture with his stories. Bobby was happy to respond to wishes and questions. Very nice tour.
Fantastic experience.

5.00Bobby was an amazing tour guide, it felt like we were just enjoying some local bites with a friend. He was so helpful in explaining what each dish was and how it was culturally significant to Vietnam and the proper pronunciation. 10/10 would recommend.

5.00Fabulous Food Tour with an amazing young guide named Bobby. He met us at the hotel lobby at 6pm- we were a large group of 10 friends . We set off at a great pace and within 5 mins of brisk walking arrived at 1st destination. Mini stools we learnt are so you eat and leave! Delicious beef jerky and perilla and cassava and shrimp dumplings. Bobby was very informative on each dish and answered any questions. 4 more courses before draft beer and then the final stop on Train Street !
