Mai was a great host. We were able to eat delicious foods, have great conversations and learn about a different side of Hanoi with her. A really great experience overall.

Minh gave us an amazing tour! His expertise and personality made the whole experience. All of the places he took us were incredible and were not places we would’ve found on our own. We have done quite a few food tours all over the world and this was by far the best we have ever done. Couldn’t recommend more!
