Alex met us in the park where he was handing out his business card. We enjoyed talking to him so much we arranged a food tour with him. We really enjoyed the local food he introduced us…he is very knowledgeable about his cuisine, friendly and a joy to be around. We also took a trip to Ninh Binh which he arranged through a local tour company. We wanted to support local businesses as much as we could.

Great food tour with Alex, 100% worth it! Alex is the first local tour guide(!) I met whose English proficiency level is so high that I felt a conversation is really taking place (For reference: I met 6 tour guides in Vietnam). We learned a lot about Northern Vietnam Cuisine and Culture during the tour. Also, Alex is simply a kind and lovely human being. We wish him all the best!

What {pho}tastic four hours of eating our way through the culturally rich and diverse streets of Hanoi! Each stop was unique from banh mi in a hidden alley, to sitting on tiny chairs over a bowl of snails, it was truly an unforgettable experience. If you want to try a diversity of Vietnamese food while gaining a deeper appreciation of Vietnam, you should definitely book with Alex!!

I spent a couple of hours with Alex here in Hanoi, really a friendly guy. He took me around we tried some typical dishes and made me taste for the first time the typical Vietnamese egg coffee (great!). I really had a nice morning with him, talking and eating. Recommended!

If you love food, I highly recommend this tour! Alex gave us such a great variety of food to try, from sandwiches to snails to yummy desserts. It was a great way to experience Vietnamese cuisine and explore the streets of Hanoi.

Awesome tour! I truly enjoyed the food. Alex introduced me to a variety of authentic Vietnamese dishes that I had never had before. But what made the tour most memorable was Alex himself, who is really knowledgeable. We had really intellectually stimulating and fun at the same time conversations. Highly recommended.
