5.00Really recommend this tour especially its a private tour. Jessica was really good tour guide and she brought us to local spots that were pretty good. Really felt like a local when we were going around with her. The tour was so good we booked another tour the next day for a history tour with Rachel she wqs great at explaining the history of the places we went to. And she brought us to a local eatery also and the food was great. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a tour guide in hanoi.

5.00It was such a lovely experience. Jessica was so thoughtful and warm. I gave the information about what i can eat or like to eat and she prepared a list for me. We had lovely chat while eating delicious foods. And also walked around the city to grab some snacks. She was a perfect guide and the day felt like i grab some food with a friend.

5.00My buddy Jessica helped to source local food stalls with low chairs and tables (as requested by me) and dealt with ordering as stall owners couldn’t speak English, we went to many places and all the food were good! After the tour she even sent me a long food list of what to try next! She is also friendly and interesting to know more about Vietnam through her, highly recommend everyone to join this tour!

5.00Superb Experience (Food Tour) with Lea! We are group of 3 and we had a last minute change with our itinerary. Good thing, Hanoi e_buddies is there to cater our hanoi experience. Lea is truly a plus! She's very kind, funny, and intelligent person. It's like it is not the first time we met her. It's like we are talking to an old friend who just came back after a long time. Haha! 😆 Thank you so much Lea! We truly appreciate your time and stories you've shared. Till next time! Eric, Chala, and Mark.
Perfect evening - 10/10 experience!!

The best street food tour with Hanoi e.buddies

5.00We went with Jessica on our street food tour starting locally to our hotel in a stall on the alley. All the while Jessica was telling us what food was available and suggesting options for us to try, so we went for pork dishes with rice and pickles and sauces. A very good choice. She suggested different soups too for us to taste and egg coffee options for further along the tour. We finished off at TrangTien Ice cream, a Hanoi classic. Jessica is such a lovely girl, we discussed all topics, she was so easy to get along with and a great tour guide. Hanoi e.buddies are just the best for tours around Hanoi, we cannot recommend then highly enough, they are a Hanoi must-do!
