Excellent tour guide and great food tasting. We were able to have good vegetarian options on this tour. It was at comfortable pace. Guide had good knowledge about local cuisines. This helped us later to find right places due to vegetarian food restrictions.

Thank you so much to Trang for a fun night out in Hanoi! She was very understanding and accommodating of our dietary needs (as well as checking for any allergies before the tour started) The food we tried was delicious & there was plenty of it - make sure you don't have lunch before you go! Trang was super friendly, knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions we had. 10/10.
Enjoyable tour with Pinky

We had such a great tour with Pinky! Her enthusiasm was amazing. We especially enjoyed the sticky rice dish and dry Pho. Just a thought - maybe a bit bigger portions for big groups would be good. We'd definitely want Pinky as our guide again :) <3
Recommended - even for non-vegans

We were a group of 4, of which only one of us was vegan. However the food throughout was excellent - tasty and filling. Vy was an excellent guide, informative and able to answer all our questions and queries. The tour exceeded all my expectations (as a non-vegan), I would do it again and I certainly wouldn’t be put off trying more.
Wonderful guide

I did the vegan food tour with Angelina who was a perfect guide! She took us to around 8 different delicious food spots for a mix of different local foods that I would have probably never known existed otherwise. She is also such a lovely person to talk to and learn more about life in Hanoi. I would thoroughly recommend!!
