Excellent tour of traditional Vietnamese food shops

Excellent walking tour of food shops in the Old Quarter. Of note, this tour is more than traditional street food. Three of the stops were at indoor, sit down restaurants. The other two were more traditional street food shops. Huyng was an excellent guide offering interesting and helpful information. He made sure that any dietary restrictions were met. Would highly recommend and would suggest doing early during your stay in Hanoi.
Do this your first day in Hanoi.
