My number one fear was getting sick so I wanted to book a tour. I couldn’t have picked a better one. Lucky is awesome and the food was delicious. Book this tour!

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

Mai is an enthusiastic guide who loves her city and we visited very cozy and traditional food places where we tried the real Vietnamese food, the same she eats every day since she was a child. I really loved the Pho and the roasted duck ban mi 💚

This was an excellent tour! Luke was a super fun guide and brought the small Group to 7 different places to try different foodies. Loved it! It was a great start for my Hanoi adventure. Luke explained everything well and very kind.

Excellent. Mai was very friendly and welcoming. She was interested in learning about you, where you lived, had you been to Vietnam before. She was very knowledgeable about the city and took us to places off the beaten track where we would never have found if we went looking for them on our own. She introduced us to authentic Vietnamese food and we tried , and enjoyed, eating food we never would have eaten otherwise. The food was delicious.
