Lan was amazing. She took us to all her favourite street food locations and they were all fantastic. She also catered the stops to foods we wanted to try. What a wonderful way to spend a few hours. Lan made it particularly memorable.

Lan is the BEST! We ate so much good food (and she was able to adjust our tour to accommodate our vegetarian diets), AND we walked away having made a new friend. We had the most incredible first day in Hanoi with Lan, and got to eat like locals while learning more about life in Hanoi and broadly in Vietnam. We had the best time talking to Lan and shared many laughs together. We cannot wait to return to Vietnam and do another tour with Lan. Thank you, Lan! You are phenomenal, and we miss you already!

Lan personalised our food tour with what we hadn’t tried yet or took us to the source so we could try the freshest option. Lan is very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Both my husband and I enjoyed the tour, being able to ask questions and listening to Lan explain both the culture and origins of particular foods. We couldn’t recommend Lan’s walking tour enough. We had already been in Hanoi a couple of days however Lan still took us to streets in the old quarter that we hadn’t seen including the home of egg coffee (it was the best one). You can also see that Lan has a good relationship with all of the vendors/shop owners.

Hello everyone. I have to say that the food tour that Lan took us on, really prepared us for the rest of our vacation there. She explained everything that we had to eat so we knew what we were eating for the rest of the trip. She really cared for my family and I. She goes out of her way to make us feel comfortable in a foreign land. Lan takes pride in what she does, and is very knowledgeable about her country. She is highly recommended. We took three tours with her, and all three were great.

This was my 3rd tour with Lan! I took the food motorbike tour with her in 2017 and now 2 with her in 2024. Lan is the absolute best tour guide in the world. You cannot visit Hanoi without meeting her. She takes pride in her job and business and gives her absolute best to every guest on her tour. She understands food allergies and food restrictions so well, it's truly impressive. If you're gluten free, nut free, vegan, vegetarian, etc. she will figure out how to help you taste the local delicacies of Hanoi and not feel like you are missing out on anything. Lan is the best!! Please book her. Amazing experience for a solo traveler or even a large group. She knows how to manage all settings.

This was the greatest food tour I have ever experienced. I have a lot of food allergies and Lan was able to help me try all of the local foods without worry. She took me to all of the good places and we tried so much incredible food. She is a great person to be around with. She knows so much about the food and the culture and can answer all of your questions with ease. I highly recommend this tour for everyone. Take the family or go solo it will be a once in a life time experience.

Our private walking food tour with Alan was one of our favourite experiences in Hanoi. A great evening with plenty of delicious food, all accompanied with the perfect mix of sightseeing, history and culture. All dietary requirements met without drama. Would definitely recommend, and wouldn’t hesitate to contact Alan again if we are ever lucky enough to return to Hanoi

Thoroughly enjoyed my tour by Lan in Vietnam! Lan is a warm, kindhearted and very knowledgeable women. Lan went out of her way to make sure I was always comfortable for the duration of the tour and being a solo female traveller, I highly appreciated this. The tour with her was so much fun with lots of good food, laughs and chats. Her knowledge about Hanoi alongside her English is also fantastic. Lan took heaps of awesome photos of me on the tour, which again as a solo traveller I really loved. Taking a tour with Lan is an essential highlight of anyones visit to Hanoi :) I am already planning my return trip!

A friend recommended me Lan’s tour and she fulfilled all my high expectations. Lan is a very friendly and passionate person that makes you feel comfortable since the very beginning. The food in the tour was delicious, the spots looked very local and authentic and she was always open to adapt the itinerary to different needs. I learnt a lot about Vietnamese food and culture thanks to her. I definitely recommend Lan’s tours, not only for the great quality of the tour but also for the amazing person Lan is :)
