5.00Walking through the busy streets of the Old Quarter with this food tour was one of the best experiences of my Vietnam trip. I tried dishes I had never heard of before, from crispy banh goi to delicious bun cha cooked right on the street. Our guide explained the history behind every dish and made us feel very welcome. I loved how authentic everything felt, far away from tourist restaurants. The local vendors were friendly, the atmosphere was lively,and every stop tasted amazing. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to discover the real Hanoi through food and culture
