5.00Our tour was exceptional! Minh, our host was very accommodating. Food was plentiful and delicious at every food stop. I enjoyed all the dishes. I loved the banh xeo and banh mi the best! I learned that you can have pho with vinegar to enhance the flavor of the dish! All in all, the day was filled with scrumptious food and laughter! Thank you, Minh!

5.00Minh (Dominic) provided an enjoyable Hanoi food experience. Mindful of dietary needs and preferences, his restaurant choices in the Old Town also demonstrated his love for his city and the food increasing the pleasure of the experience. From a couple street side shops to some hidden back alley surprises, Minh’s savory and sweet food tour is one not to be missed.
Nice afternoon with Minh

5.00I went on a food tour with Ming, and he's a real foodie! He showed us seven great spots, four for main courses, one for pomegranate juice and two for desserts. Everything was super delicious, and Ming has an impressive knowledge of food and all of Vietnam. Besides, he's an incredibly likeable person. I can really recommend this tour!
Great experience!

5.00You're likely to eat well at any of the countless street food vendors in Hanoi, but what set this experience apart was the sincere hospitality of our guide Lucky. As the night went on, Lucky shared stories not just about the food, but also the history, traditions, and daily life of Vietnam in a way that felt like chatting with a friend rather than listening to a guide. It was genuine, relaxed, and full of heart — the kind of experience that makes you feel connected to the place and its people. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
Loved it!

5.00Minh is a hilarious, sassy, fantastic tour guide with DEEP understanding of the food scene in Hanoi. The best part was being able to trust that for our vegan guests, they were properly cooked for. Minh knows everyone.
