5.00Peter guided our small group with a lot of passion and dedication through the culinary highlights of Hanoi and North Vietnam. Every outlet and meal was carefully selected and nicely explained. For all the different meals Peter mentioned a nice anecdote to provide context - either from cultural, culinary or simply craftmanship perspective. By this you learn a lot beyond just great taste and are also able to avoid some cruicial mistakes with all the different offers you will find during your trip. Peter also took well into consideration preferences of the quite mixed group. So 100% recommendation (and make sure you have a lot of space :). Worth every cent!

4.00Guide Mai was very knowledgeable and a great host. The food was a great introduction. I would recommend doing this tour early in your trip. The desert was my favourite and to die for.
Will recommend to everyone I know going to Vietnam

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable Vietnam Food Tour Experience! We absolutely loved our Vietnam Food Tour – Private Walking Tour! Our guide, Mai, was incredible, so knowledgeable, warm, and full of fascinating insights about both the food and local culture. The food selection was super diverse and every stop was better than the last. Tip: Go hungry, there’s a lot of food, and every stop is worth it! We left feeling educated, inspired to expand our palate, and completely satisfied (and full!). This was one of the best experiences of our trip, and we’ll 100% be doing it again! Highly recommend to anyone visiting Vietnam.
Amazing
