Hanoi

We'll meet at the historic Old Quarter, navigating through street food vendors, decades-old eateries and family-owned recipes that have been passed down generations. We'll crunch on crispy handmade pillow cakes, translucent tapioca dumplings, and caramelized pork belly. We can't miss a Hanoian classic -Chả Cá Lã Vọng, a turmeric-spiked fish dish with dill at a century-old original joint, before a steamy hot bowl of pho at a Michelin-rated eatery. Next up, bánh cuon rice rolls are rolled expertly over the griddle, and later grilled bun cha pork patties are doused over stringy vermicelli noodles and fresh herbs, whilst young green rice flakes are bundled over banana leaves, washed down with dracontomelon juice. There's many more surprises amongst 15+ tastings over the course of 7-8 stops of our moveable feast.

Our three-generation family (ages 81 down to 3) had an absolutely amazing experience. Our guide, Lily, was amazing. She led us on a leisurely, comfortably paced walk that was enjoyable for all ages and abilities. She expertly navigated us through the chaotic, vibrant Old Quarter to unforgettable hidden gems. Some of the highlights… · The smoky alley serving legendary bún chả. · Fascinating stories about the food's history and the vendors themselves. · The authentic experience of eating on tiny street-side stools. · Climbing the narrow stairs to taste the iconic egg coffee. I love this tour. Highly recommended. Just heed their advice: come hungry.
