Fabulous experience

5.00I had such a great time with Patrick and 2 lovely girls walking around the Old Town trying all sorts of food and chatting. Even though I have done several other food tours in Vietnam, everything we tried was new, with Patrick being very responsive to what were interested in. Patrick was a great conversationalist and the hours for by. The list of sites visits, recommendations for the following days and photos were all highly appreciated. 100% recommend this tour.
Great way to try unique food!

5.00What a fabulous night we had with our guide, Minh. As another couple cancelled right at pick up time, it turned out to be a private tour, so Minh was very free and easy selecting dishes to suit our tastes. Every dish was amazing and an adventure making our way to each place. It was such a fun, casual night and exploring some of the back alleys was certainly an eye opener.
An excellent small group street food tour.

5.00An excellent tour. Chi is a Hanoi resident of Hanoi, who took us to her local favourites. The food was excellent and the conversation flowed easily ( despite the different languages in the group) due to her easy style and she was happy to answer all our questions and provide suggestions for other places to visit. The food was plentiful and the small group size made for a very enjoyable evening. I would highly recommend this tour.
A fun night out

5.00Such a great way to sample several essential Vietnamese dishes! Our guide Mai was knowledgeable and friendly and spoke perfect English. I recommend doing this at the beginning of your stay in Hanoi because we received several great recommendations for food, shopping, and activities.

5.00Vietnam Bob crushed it. Nice combo of history, local culture and hole in the wall restaurants. We couldn’t make the initial booking and the company was kind enough to let us reschedule last minute.
