5.00Great food tour with Bob, our amazing guide! He took us to some fantastic places to eat in Hanoi. We tried five different dishes, and every single one was delicious. Afterwards, he even sent us a list of many more recommendations. Highly recommended!

5.00Our guide Bob made this evening absolutely memorable — funny, knowledgeable, and passionate about Vietnamese food culture. The small group size kept it intimate and personal. The Bun Cha alone was worth every penny. Smoky grilled pork, fresh noodles, a tiny street-side spot I never would have found solo — I’m still thinking about it. Walking through the neighborhoods at night felt like the real Hanoi. Highest possible recommendation. Ask for Bob!
Great tour!

5.00Great tour! 👏 booked it in the taxi from the airport & we’re glad we did! Bob, our guide, was fantastic… (his profile pic of his dog sold me 😆). Visited some fantastic restaurants (one was his mum’s- totally recommend!) ..all the dishes we sampled were delicious and Bob added snippets of history along the way which gave us an insight into the city. He was friendly and very helpful as well. Would definitely recommend Bob and his tour to anyone visiting Hanoi! Thx Bob! 😀

5.00We’re 1 week into our trip through Vietnam, and this tour with Bob has by far been the highlight so far! When Bob picked us up from our hotel, he got to know us, understand how much of the local cuisine we’d tried and if there was anything to avoid. Based on that, he curated the perfect 6 stop food tour sampling DELICIOUS local delicacies. I don’t this tour would have been the same without Bob leading it. Very fun, very knowledgable and very PROUD! Thanks Bob!
