This tour is the best way to spend the day eating across Hanoi. Every meal was better than the previous one. Our guide was super informative and provided a great understanding of Vietnamese food. I highly recommend this tour for any foodie looking to understand Vietnamese cuisine better.

Chi gave the best tour!!! She was extremely knowledgeable and was able to teach us all about Vietnamese food and culture. She was personable and friendly and we felt very comfortable in her care- we’d recommend her tour to everyone!

Nina_G, Jan 2026

Fun and delicious!

Maya_M, Nov 2025

We had Minh as a tour guide and he was fantastic! The food was delicious too and he checks in a lot to see if there’s something specific we wanted to try. Very fun evening and the food was delicious too.

Shanae_F, Oct 2025

My number one fear was getting sick so I wanted to book a tour. I couldn’t have picked a better one. Lucky is awesome and the food was delicious. Book this tour!

Great food tour. Several stops with small meals, favourite was the summer rolls. Some beer and egg coffee stops too.

Corrie_G, Apr 2025

Food was great and the guide was so kind. It was like hanging out with a friend. She also helped me to view train street! Thanks!

Good on the edge

Suzanne_K, Mar 2025

The food was awesome, the street traffic insane, my head was on a swivel the whole time. When I thought I could eat no more, there was super smooth coconut icecream and fabulous flan. The only thing to be aware of is if your knees are bad, all the chairs are super low, maybe 8 inches to 1 foot high. We never would have found these places on our own or tried them by the looks of them. We went 2 days ago. Super fun. Really glad we went. Our guide Luke was friendly, had good explanations of the street food culture and a guidelines for picking one to try and... he was good at getting us all across the street.

As soon as you get to Hanoi do this Food Tour!

Janet_H, Jan 2025

As soon as you get to Hanoi do this Food Tour! Not only did we eat delicious food we also learned about what we were eating and how to eat it! It helped me choose other places to eat and identify what types of food I was seeing.

Great variety of foods....

David_S, Jan 2025

Great variety of foods. Max was a very good guide. Very personable. Good pace for the tour. I would recommend.

Fun food experience

J_M, Jan 2025

Cherry was a terrific guide, full of energy and enthusiasm! We enjoyed her company and the different food dishes. Our favorite was spring rolls from a stall where the lady has been making them for over 20 years!

Solo food tour

Amir_A, Jan 2025

My tour guide was Mai and she was great. It's a food tour with a also a little tour and hints through the old quarter too. 3h tour maybe a bit less and you will eat a solid amount of food so definitely go there hungry.

I’ve been to Hanoi a few...

Dave_M, Dec 2024

I’ve been to Hanoi a few times and loved that this tour wasn’t your basic Hanoi dishes. There were a few things ok this tour I’d never tried before ..the guide was great and very knowledgeable and spoke great English

Great street food tour

Mark_N, Nov 2024

Excellent tour with Lucky. He had a huge amount of knowledge and insights, was fun to spend time with and took us to some great eating spots that we wouldn’t have found on our own. It was a lovely way to spend the morning before heading off to next adventure. Would highly recommend

Amazing

Robin_B, Nov 2024

A great experience, Cherrie was an amazing guide, super cute and helpful, also giving tips on other stuff to do/see. Would definitely recommend!

Good local food

Filipa_A, Nov 2024

Tom was a great host, took us to many places with tasty food. We visited a mix of street food vendors and restaurants, and went to places that likely otherwise wouldn't have gone. The rice pancakes and the coconut dessert were my favourite!

AWESOME food + convo with Luke!!

KailyGroover, Nov 2024

Luke is AWESOME!! He was so knowledgeable and able to answer each of our questions about Vietnamese history, food, and culture in depth. Our questions and conversation eventually turned to life, and we all left as friends. He is someone I will truly remember meeting forever. Also, the food was phenomenal and he was very accommodating for a vegetarian as well. Thank you so much for this experience!! <333

Enjoyed the experience.

Mohamed_H, Oct 2024

My guide Bao picked me from the hotel in old quarters. We visited 4-5 places. Tried pancake, chicken dumplings, chicken sandwich, beef soup and cocunut ice cream with mango. All great choices. Bao was very friendly, spoke English well, and really enhanced our groups experience.

Great Way to Start Your Trip

Jacob_K, Oct 2024

We did this our first day in Hanoi it was a perfect way to start our trip! Our guide Cherry was amazing, kind, and very informative. We learned not only about the food, but the philosophy behind Vietnamese cuisine. Can't recommend Cherry enough!!

Great food, even better tour guide!

Amy_G, Oct 2024

We had an amazing time on the Hanoi Street Food Tour! Andy was an incredible tour guide - not only really knowledgable about each of the dishes, but a really friendly guy who chatted happily with us about life in Vietnam, history and culture. All the food we tried was delicious and Andy navigated us around the streets really easily. He also went above and beyond by providing us with a full list of recommendations for other food spots in Hanoi, and even gave us tips for the next leg of our journey in Hue! Definitely recommend this tour, especially early on in your time to Hanoi so you have time to check out his other recommendations. Thank Andy!

Food tour with Cherry

Allison_A, Oct 2024

Cherry was an incredible guide! She showed us all around Old Quarter, shared the history of the food and restaurants, and gave great recommendations for the rest of our trip. Even after the tour, she was a great help and has been available for any questions we’ve had about navigating Vietnam. Wonderful experience!

Good tour and excellent food

huw_l, Oct 2024

Our guide Jamie was friendly and knowledgeable and his English was excellent. Lovely food in places we never would have discovered. Would recommend this tour.

Fantastic. Thank you Sandy!

Jamie_B, Sep 2024

We had a fantastic time with Sandy our guide! Trying delicious local dishes including bun cha, traditional crispy rice paper rolls, a variety of Vietnamese coffees, desserts and more. Sandy is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, and I could not recommend this tour enough if you have a spare few hours to get to know your way around Hà Nội’s old quarter and the cuisine on offer. A big thank you to Sandy!!

Yummy food and lots of local spots!

Rucha_K, Aug 2024

A really great walking tour with not a ton of walking. We ate so many yummy dishes and fell in love with bun Bo hue! Highly recommend this tour.

A must do tour in Vietnam

Lorry, Aug 2024

Excellent way to discover the delicious cuisine of Vietnam. Cherry was a fab guide , sharing her knowledge and passion for the Vietnamese culture. She took us to places we would never have found alone, and introduced us to dishes we also wouldn’t have ordered without her. She also gave general traveller tips for a safe and happy stay on Vietnam. Thank you Cherry- we will always remember you!

Excellent and a must have walking food tour!!!

Derby_C, Jul 2024

Minh was an amazing tour guide and we had the best foods and great conversations learning about Han Noi! As a picky eater, I enjoyed every single meal, dessert, and drink. Minh is an absolute fave and I 100% recommend

I ate too much!

Christopher_W, Jun 2024

I had a great time with Minh. So much good food and drink! His knowledge of the area was excellent. Such a great evening.

Amazing tour with Max !

Jessica_H, Apr 2024

Couldn’t recommend this tour more ! Excellent way to see the city while eating in the best local places. Max was a fantastic tour guide who knew all of the best places , he also knew so much about the city and we learned a lot during the day . He’s so passionate about his job which made it more enjoyable for us. Defo worthwhile tour .

Huy was the perfect guide

gnilloc, Apr 2024

Huy was brilliant. He made sure he introduced the four other people joining us, and at the end connected with us via WhatsApp and sent us all the street addresses of the places we’d been, plus a few extras to try. He was always considerate in making sure we were all able to manage the stairs, and walking distances, and kept an eye out to make sure we were all keeping up. He also made himself available for any help me might need after the tour finished. He also gave us other tips on scams to be aware of in Hanoi, and how to avoid getting ripped off. The food was varied and delicious.
