A very well-designed tour that offered up an eclectic variety of street food that you might not find yourself (thankfully avoiding the obvious choices of pho, banh mi, and bun cha). 15 different foods and drinks (my first time trying sea worms!) that made for a fun night on the town. Our guide Vu was also very informative, giving plenty of inside information not just on the food culture, but on life in Vietnam in general. I would highly recommend.

We were walking for hours through hidden corners of hanoi old town and were able to taste many different dishes (and mainly the ones you would not know how to order). Our guide Vu adapted the tour to our wishes (we ended up tasting all the fruits we wanted, and also oyster porridge and bowls!!). 100% recommended!

Highly recommend this incredible food tour if you’re in Hanoi! Cong was a great guide. Not only did he provide a wonderful commentary on the food and history of the Old Quarter, but he also went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable (buying us waters when it was very hot and then ponchos when it started pouring!). It was a great introduction to the city and left us with a list of additional places to try.

We really enjoyed browsing the buzzy street life and tasting the fine art of vietnamese street food. You won't find the standards here - just explore and enjoy. Thanks to our tour guide Rose for the amazing and entertaining job.

all delicious and different foods, an amazing mix. Rose was amazing and taught us so much about the area, the food, the language, history and culture and was so friendly. she also helped us book another tour and gave us great advice for the rest of our stay in Hanoi! would definitely recommend. definitely worth doing as Hanoi street food is everywhere and quite confusing so she showed us the best.
