Hanoi Old Quarter Food Tour

5.00We just finished a wonderful Hanoi old quarter food tour with Hann. She was amazing with our 10 year old son, shared some great stories and put together a perfect menu from the requests we made. Hann was friendly, well spoken and was confident leading our group through the streets to each new location. I would highly recommend Hann for a food tour in the future - such a fun night!

5.00I had wonderful time with Hana, who is a university student and volunteer on my first day in Hanoi. I was happen to be the only tourist on that Saturday evening. We met in front of my hotel then she guided me to 3 different dinner places as well as local coffee place. I really enjoyed various authentic Vietnamese cuisines and she explained interesting history of Vietnam, Old Quarter of Hanoi and Vietnamese foods. Without her, I couldn't find these local gems. Highly recommend to all the people who visit Hanoi!

5.00We had an enjoyable time with HFWT. We were lucky to get Albert as our guide as she was very knowledgeable and well-spoken. She shared a lot of insight on the Vietnamese culture and history. And was very happy to answer our inquisitive questions. I am quite impressed as this organization is run by young university students. Everything was very professionally organized!

5.00We had a lovely evening with our gorgeus guide Pepper. He took us to three different restaurants to sample different dishes and finished the evening in a very nice rooftop cafe, a hidden gem that we wouldn't have found otherwise. He was easy to talk to and his english was very clear. We really enjoyed this experience and we definitely recommend it to anyone.
Highly recommended

5.00We had Minh (Arthur) as our tour guide. He took us to backstreets of Hanoi that we would not think of going. The food shops and the food that we had was soo good. Minh was very outgoing and informative. He even gave us recommendations after. Highly recommended to book this tour

5.00We did this food tour with Pepper on our first night in Hanoi, and it was the perfect introduction to the city. It was a great way to get to know the local food culture and learn more about the dishes and how to eat them properly. Pepper was very communicative and thoughtful, even reaching out beforehand to ask about any allergies or dislikes so the tour could be planned in the best possible way. Everything felt well organized, relaxed, and delicious. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hanoi!
