5.00It was a very interesting evening walk through the delicious street foods scene in Hanoi's Old Town. Bob was a fantastic story teller. He was born and grew up in the surrounding and knows a lot of stories behind the official tourist places. Definitely will recommend the tour.

5.00Had an amazing time going to locations we never would have found on our own, down alleyways into areas only the locals know. Patrick was an amazing guide, sharing so much local knowledge with us beyond just the food. His English was excellent. He had preorganised the locations so well so we could sit down together. The small group atmosphere was brilliant, we met people that were catching up with again. Would recommend to anyone. Such a great way to get to know a little bit of Hanoi having never been before.
Cảm ơn James!!

5.00Had a great time with Mai. She took us around, explained not only about the food but also the cultural influences on how food evolved. One of the best inductions to Vietnamese food. Highly recommended.

5.00I cannot speak highly enough of this food tour with the amazing guide Mai. We ate incredible food, learnt about how the Vietnamese live in the old quarter & got to experience the area. Mai was friendly, knowledgable & the perfect guide. It felt like we were being shown around by a friend. We have cancelled our restaurant reservation for this evening so we can return to one of the spots she took us to- the food is better than what we have experienced in expensive Hanoi restaurants. Thank you Mai!!
True gems you would never find on your own.
