We had Minh as a tour guide and he was fantastic! The food was delicious too and he checks in a lot to see if there’s something specific we wanted to try. Very fun evening and the food was delicious too.

Peter 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!

Guide 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.
