It was a blast. Saw so many places I never would have gone to and the food was great. The guide, David, was so much fun and really made the experience memorable.

Mai was a fantastic guide, every place was 10/10 for the food. In between each food stop we saw a lot of really interesting spots along the way. 3.5 hours too, it's great value and time well spent.

A great tour of local and family run spots! Patrick was a great guide with lots of local knowledge, taking us to try local dishes throughout the old quarter area! He also sent us recommendations of different places to try on the rest of our journey through the country! We would highly recommend this tour!
Good eats and fun times.

Amazing food, great fun and a terrific guide (Minh) . One of the best things we have done while in Hanoi. Caveat: if you are not into eating at holes in the wall this may not be the right tour for you. If you are into adventure and good food it is.
Excellent time, wonderful food

We had an excellent time. The food was wonderful. By the time we were done we were stuffed. Variation of food was excellent vs our guide James, was helpful, knowledgeable and entertaining. Overall, seeing the sites and hearing the sounds of the city was exciting. Walking the streets was an experience. And the food was excellent.
A local friend now!

Very good experience to learn about the traditional way to eat local foods and the best places to go for them which aren’t on TikTok or social media
