5.00Stephanie was an amazing food tour guide. We absolutely loved her very personable approach and style, she was very friendly, very knowledgeable, and her excellent communication and English skills were above the rest. Honestly, it’s safe to say that Stephanie is probably one of the best guides in Hanoi. She was on point explaining every venue/place, community, street, restaurant, dish, and history and story behind every cuisine. Every single one of us had a memorable time. We enjoyed every single minute of it! Thank you so much, Stephanie - we hope to see you again soon 🥰❤️🙏🙏🙏

Hanoi 12 Tastings Walking Tour
Chiangmaimatt,,Nov 6, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such an awesome time on this food tour with our amazing guide, Stephanie! We went for the private option and honestly, it was the best decision — so much more personal and relaxed. We had a few food restrictions, but Stephanie went out of her way to make sure we could still try heaps of different dishes. She even added in a few things we wanted to taste that weren’t originally on the itinerary, which was such a nice surprise! The best part was exploring little hidden spots down narrow alleyways and up tiny staircases — places we’d never have found on our own. Every stop had something unique and absolutely delicious. If you want to try local food that’s off the usual tourist path and get a real feel for the city’s food scene, this tour is a must. We loved every minute!
