Delicious! - We had a great tour. It was particularly cool that we didn't get the typical dishes like Pho Bo and Ban Mi, but were able to try new and exciting things. The group size of 5 people was also ideal. All in all, highly recommended.

Food tour with guid Thuy - Our tour guide was amazing! I told her that I'm vegan and she knew where to take us to all places that are equal to vegan food. Among other things, she explained to us about the history of Vietnam with very interesting stories.

Hanoi Street Food Tour - This is a great small group tour. There were 5 of us including our tour guide Jimmy. Tramping the streets of the Old Quarter via a progressive dinner we sampled the street food. Jimmy was knowledgable and thoughtful guide. It gave us a great overview of what when and hows of the old quater topped with great food, fresh beer and the famous egg coffee. Highly recommended

Excellent trip!!! - Such a wonderful food tour with exceptional food! We had a great dine thanks to our lovely guide, Ms. Nhung to show us a nice, cozy place to eat a traditional hanoi dish called “bun dau mam tom”. It is located in a small corner in Hang Khay street

Enjoy the food AND the atmosphere - Hanoi street food is a must, so with guide you know where to go that is safe physically and food wise. From a bewildering variety of offers we had classic Vietnamese food and local beer while soaking up the pre-Tet atmosphere in the Old Quarter of Hanoi, enjoying history of the food and explanations about the city. Although we booked a group tour, the group was just us and a guide. Would have been even better with a small group. Guide was great,
informative and asked us what we liked best (most things but not insects!).

Food tasting with Timmy - Timmy met us at our hotel and took us into the old quarter to try lots of different dishes, he was very knowledgeable and friendly, his English was very good - we enjoyed his company and laughed with him.
We enjoyed every dish we tried and loved eating what the locals eat.
He also walked us around places of interest like the turtle lake which we really enjoyed, finally we finished with a draft beer and nuts before Timmy walked us back to our hotel.
We would highly recommend this tour to anyone coming to Hanoi, it is a must.

A great way to sample Hanoi Street Food - I had a small group of 1 (just me) on the tour. Whilst the communication with the company wasn't very good (I had to contact them about pick up time less than two hours before tour was to start), my guide was brilliant. I explained that I'd already done a street food tour in Ho Chi Minh, so he took me to places to try food I had yet to try. He also explained a bit about the history of Vietnam, regarding food and in general.

Great first day experience - On day 1, it was helpful to learn the names of the popular dishes on offer. Our guide, Timmy, also took us to places we would not have found. Really good experience.
