Great guide and a fun evening - Me and my wife together with our 1,5 year old toddler had a great evening thanks to our food tour guide Minh. I would recommend this tour to anyone, especially if you have just arrived in Vietnam like we did.

Just us Girls - Jinny was an amazing local guide! The food was authentic Vietnamese with large portions often too much. Which was a good thing. Walking thro the old town and around Hanoi to Train Street was fun. We even did a lil shopping. We enjoyed our time with Jinny. She's the best!

Amazing Food Tour with Minh! - We had an amazing food tour in Hanoi’s Old Quarter with our guide Minh. He took us to some incredible hidden spots that we would have never found on our own. We got to try coconut coffee, bun cha, banh mi, pho soups and many more delicious local dishes. Minh explained the history and culture behind every food we tried, which made the experience even more special. He was very friendly, patient and always checked if we were comfortable. His knowledge about the local cuisine and the city was outstanding. We loved how he shared personal stories and local tips along the way. The pace of the tour was perfect and we felt relaxed the entire time. Minh truly made our evening unforgettable. We highly recommend this tour and Minh as a fantastic guide!

Very Informative - Jinny was awesome. She had so much knowledge about the area and it was nice to start our trip with someone local. We got to experience a lot of foods that we wouldn’t have known about if it wasn’t for the tour. I would highly recommend this tour if you’re looking to start your trip off with a quaint evening immersing yourself in Vietnam’s culture.

Vietnam really is Wonderful - My friend and I booked a last minute food tour through Wonderful Vietnam and I’m pleased to say we had an awesome experience with our knowledgeable and funny guide, Jinny. Arriving yesterday for our holiday we’ve tried some authentic foods but with Jinnys recommendations we were able to try things that weren’t familiar to us, from vendors and restaurants we’d of course, never know about. Thank you Jinny for a wonderful time. I hope to be back again and will suggest your tour to family and friends also visiting. Cam on!

Must do activity on your first day in Hanoi - We had the greatest time with Jinny, she showed us all around the hotspots of Hanoi. We had a great range of food within the Old Quarter of Hanoi. Very experienced with the local surroundings, very informative walking tour.

Much more than a just food tour! - Jinny was fabulous. Friendly, informative, adaptable. She quickly got the measure of us and tailored the tour to our interests and made a couple of additional stops. We talked about Vietnamese history, politics and culture. Train Street was flooded so she took us by Grab to the train alley by the main station in time for the express, and back again. She was so relaxed, and spoke such good English that the 5 hours flew by. The food was also great!

Best Han Oi Food Tour - Highlight of our Trip! - My husband and I took this tour today with Minh and he was amazing! He met us at our hotel and took us on a superb street food tour where we stepped away from the queuing crowds and into small local places to eat. We tried bun cha, spring rolls, pho, Vietnamese dumplings, pillow and shrimp cakes, and a sweet soup which was out of this world. We tried foods we never would have known and felt like we really got insights into how to eat like a local. Minh was professional, kind and funny and showed us many sights with history and stories about food. Ask for Minh, he really made the tour special for us. The bun cha place he chose was my favorite restaurant on the tour. Thank for a wonderful afternoon that combined delicious food with history and local insights into the food culture. Keep your knees tucked in for Train street!

Interesting orientation to local food places. - Visiting local food places that tourists may not know and walking to these places guided and short distance to digest the food . Guide is very gentle and tries to explain and befriend us . Brought water for us to drink too. We had 4 mains , 1 dessert and 1 drink at the train coffee street which was really nice!
