5.00We really enjoyed our Street Food Tour in Hanoi! It was a small group of 7 and our guide, Bob, was fantastic! Very friendly, very local (one of our stops was at his mother’s restaurant) and he had some great stories to share. Afterwards, I felt I had my bearings in the city and knew what to look for food wise! Highly recommended.

5.00We had a fabulous Walking Street Food Tour with Max. He took us to hidden gem restaurants & cafes where the locals eat, and provided fresh & delicious food to taste that we wouldn't have tried if we were on our own. He threw in a bit of Vietnamese history and culture along the way which we also very much appreciated. All delivered with a friendly smile and a bit of humour. We highly recommend this tour and our guide Max.
Definitely recommend

5.00Great food tour with Bob. He introduced us to 4 dishes and the egg coffee, which were delicious. Bob was really very kind, energetic, and provided us with some information about the city while going from one restaurant to another. A must-do without hesitation right at the beginning of the stay.

5.00This foodie tour was excellent! Bob was a fantastic guide, not only did he take us to some great food spots but he also pointed out other places of interest, sharing insights about the history of Hanoi and the local way of life. I went on the tour on my first day in Hanoi which I would highly recommend as Bob also gave us a list of recommendations for more restaurants to try.

5.00Ask for Kenny. He's an excellent guide. Very friendly & helpful young man. He did a great job explaining things, showing us the right way to make the rolls & the best way to eat all the dishes. The food was high quality & authentic Hanoi experience. A highlight of our time in Hanoi.
Bob is a friendly, informative and organised guide- love him!
