The most handsome guide in Hanoi lives up to name - a great food tour with Tony

5.00Brilliant “bold and adventurous” tour with Tony. Highly recommend if you want to dig deeper into Vietnamese cuisine and try the foods locals eat regularly - bulat (fertilised duck egg - actually delicious), snails, fried eel noodles, to name a few. Tony most definitely is the most handsome guide in Hanoi - but also knowledgeable, funny, and with good local connections. We contacted Tony the day before and he fit us right in the next day without issue, just contact him on WhatsApp or through his platforms. Top man.
The best food tour in Hanoi. Tony is absolutely wonderful

5.00An absolutely amazing experience to have in Hanoi. Tony is one of the most genuine, happy, and friendly person I've had the pleasure of meeting on my trip in Vietnam. Myself and a friend took his 'Bold and Curious Tour' which included, snails, fried eel, pork ear, and the famous balut! And that's just naming a few of the beautiful dishes he introduced us to. Tony took us to many local places you wouldn't think to try. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Vietnam, and Hanoi, especially regarding the food. I'd recommend Tony's tour to absolutely everyone visiting Hanoi, whether you want to taste iconic timeless dishes, or be brave and go for the more unusual. Either way with Tony, you're going to have an amazing time!

Chopsticks, Laughter & Flavors: Exploring Hanoi with Tuấn (Tony)

5.00My food tour in Hanoi with Tuấn (Tony) was hands down one of the best parts of my trip! From the very beginning, Tuấn brought so much energy and fun — it felt like exploring the city with a local friend. We tried so many amazing dishes: crispy bánh xèo, rich bún riêu, and smoky bún chả. Each stop was more delicious than the last. Tuấn didn’t just explain the food; he made us laugh with personal stories, taught us how locals really eat, and even challenged us to eat with chopsticks like pros.

5.00Every bite on Tony’s food tour was a delight! From juicy bún chả, crispy bánh gối, soft and fresh bánh cuốn, to rich, creamy egg coffee — the flavors were out of this world. Tony knew exactly where to take us for authentic, local dishes that weren’t crowded with tourists. Each stop was better than the last. He also explained the ingredients and how locals enjoy them, which made me appreciate the food even more. If you’re a foodie, this tour will be your dream come true. Absolutely delicious from start to finish!
