5.00We are so happy that we took this tour. Bob was an amazing guide and he knew the city so well. He is from Hanoi and we felt we had a truly local experience. Even after the tour, he sent us a list of restaurants/foods that we should go to that we didn’t have time to visit. We felt that we learned a lot about Hanoi and we got to explore the many local food options we may have never known about. We could not recommend this enough and you’ll be lucky if you have Bob as your guide

Hanoi Old Quarters foodie tour with Bob

4.00It was a lovely way to spend an eve walking old quarter back lanes, learning about some Viet history, traditional food items and dine w/ 4 strangers - all led by Bob, our local foodie guide for the eve - who did an excellent job, answering all questions, customizing orders and food stops based on our input ... For me wobbly/soggy rice rolls (b'fast item) and dry (soup less) Pho / pha in little bit of fish sauce, @Bob's mother's eatery were the highlights for me!! Be prepared to eat well, overlook ambience, watch your head, be willing to sweat and test your plastic stool before sitting (mine broke and had me on my back :-) ... all said n done I would walk those lanes w/ Bob again and I'm sure he will pick out different yet equally tasty stops for me ... but this time I would book directly to save 50% !!
Great experience with Bob!
