Booked last minute and as our pickup was a bit late somehow ended up with a private tour with a lovely young lady who customised our tour and ensure we were finished in time for a prior commitment. The food experiences were fabulous - places we would not necessarily have found ourself - but the highlight was actually the knowledge shared by our delightful guide, not only about the delicacies in Hanoi but about Vietnam in general. Highly recommended!! On a side note, helps to have WhatsApp if travelling on data only to enable communication with tour providers etc

What a great tour. Great to have a guide show us the best places for safe and tasty street food. Friendly and informative about the food and culture of the Vietnamese. The finale at Train Street was fantastic. Super fun. Do not miss it!

So much food to try! Great tour for first afternoon in Hanoi as learnt about their cuisine and taste dishes which I probably wouldn’t have ordered by myself. Suggest you don’t eat beforehand as there are lots of dishes at various restaurants and finishes with desserts and egg coffee.

Our first day in Hanoi we were met by (K) who led us around on one of the best experiences we have had. We tasted a variety of local foods including a dry Pho. which i can tell you was scrumdiddlyumptious. I think we tried around 10 different foods and were showing the amazing sight of Hanoi's old district. Great verbal skills and he spoke perfect English It truly was.an enjoyable experience he has been doing it for 5 years' experience at doing these tours and it showed in our opinion, Very professional young man. Would I recommend him to right I would
