This is the place for street food and on the tour you will visit well hidden locations you’d never find on your own. Excellent experience with Son, our guide.

I booked a couple of private tours through A Taste of Hanoi and couldn’t be more pleased. Brian does a fantastic job crafting experiences that feel unique and far from the typical tourist circuit, and he has a wonderful team of guides who bring everything to life. I’ve been on a lot of food tours, and this was by far the best. I highly recommend A Taste of Hanoi—I can’t wait to come back and try more of their one-of-a-kind offerings.

We ate so much food! Son was such an amazing guide. If you like trying food that is unique to Hanoi then tour is for you. Son took us to local eateries and gave us a true foodie experience trying different food and drinks we did not know existed. Son was also very knowledgeable about Vietnam and excellent guide. We learned a lot about history, architecture and most importantly food! We finished the tour VERY full, knowing a lot more about the culture and history, and ready to experience and try more food. We highly recommend this tour and thank Son for giving us this amazing experience.

Amazing experience with Cherry! She brought us to local places to try dishes that we wouldn’t have known about. We visited around 7 spots in 3 hours. Cherry accommodated our dietary restrictions and still gave us a great time. Highly recommend this tour! My family and I tried so many tasty dishes and are raving about this tour.

We booked a private tour and the guide was incredible at accommodating our group, which included kids ages 4-11. We enjoyed touring the old quarter and trying different street foods. It was a great mix of savory and sweet.

The street food tour with our tour guide Jenny was top! Jenny is so friendly, open and funny and she has led us to various stalls with super delicious food. It also tells a lot of interesting information about the country and people and the culture of Hanoi and Vietnam. Fully recommended!

I was extremely happy working with Brian. Six of us started with his Hanoi foodie tour and he also booked numerous tours for us in Saigon and Thailand. He is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and fun to be with! I am a travel agent and plan on using his expert services again in the future!

A fantastic experience. Hieu (nickname “Nick”) was an incredible tour guide. Apart from sampling a wide selection of delicious Vietnamese food, Hieu discussed Vietnamese culture, history, religion and family traditions. It was a memorable evening. He has a great sense of humor and guided us around Hanoi with an assured hand. It was an absolute pleasure all round and we couldn’t have asked for more.
