5.00Chi provided us with a great tour from a true local’s perspective. We learned so much about the food we were trying as well as the city of Hanoi and Vietnamese culture. Even on a very hot summer day, we were able to rest and cool down as many of the stops had fans or AC while we ate. This is a great first day activity in Hanoi as it provided us with a nice lay of the land and gave us some great ideas of all the foods we wanted to try while in Hanoi.

5.00We did a foodie tour in downtown Jasper with Tahsha. She was fabulous. She knew so much about the town and knew almost everyone in town. We went to great places and had really good food and drinks. I would recommend her for any type of tour.

5.00Bob was a great tour guide. He took us to many delicious spots and explained everything and was very informative. He was also attentive and checking in with us. I appreciated his insight into good foods in Hanoi because I haven’t done much research on foods to eat other than the basics Banh Mi and Pho
