We had a walking food tour with Taste of Hanoi on Saturday morning. It was really interesting, informative and well organised. We got the chance to taste about 30 different Vietnamese dishes, vegeterian an non-vegeterian along with different types of tea,juice and egg coffee.Not Bly food,we got the chance to know about the architecture and the history of Old Quater as well. The tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. It was enjoyable. We have had walked about 4 km without realising.We would recommend this tour for anybody,who wants to explore/get an idea about Hanoi.

This was one of the highlights of our trip - would highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique experience in Hanoi. We went on the morning walking food tour on Jan 30th during the Tet holiday. Brian was very responsive to our emails/questions and accommodated us during the holiday even though a lot of the usual stops on the tour were closed. Our tour guide, Lan, was friendly, energetic and very open to sharing her personal stories, which helped us understand more about the local culture and lifestyle. She also improvised and did a lot of work before the tour to find alternative locations for us to visit that were open during the holiday. We tasted an amazing variety of different foods (with vegetarian options at each stop!) and left with full, happy stomachs!

We spent the morning walking around with Brian and had an excellent food tour with him. We walked around for hours and he shared many interesting stories, not only about the food but also about the history of Hanoi and Vietnam in general, as well as architecture and culture. Very interesting! Every now and then his 'food coordinator' (a really sweet Vietnamese girl called Lam) showed up, just at the right time, with loads of good Vietnamese bites. A really nice tour!
