Such a great tour. We had an in depth explanation of every food we tried, what it was, when it was usually eaten and how to eat it. We enjoyed a lot of food, 6 stops in total. Definitely recommend, we wouldn’t have known where to start on our own. Huy was extremely knowledgeable and couldn’t have been more helpful.

Today we enjoyed a street food tour with Huy. It was very good! We ate a lot of different local food in small restaurants that we never would have found ourselves. Huy was a good guide with a lot of knowledge about food and other things about the neighborhood. We warmly recommend him! Anders & Marie Ljungman, Sweden

The street food tour with Minh (Dominic) was my favorite things I did in Hanoi! He is funny, engaging and very knowledgeable. He took our small group to places I would not have found on my own or by searching "best of" lists or reviews. I have been on so many tours across the world and rate this one highly! Definitely do it!

Great experience, would definitely do again. The local foodie vibe was on point. I would recommend doing this at the start of your trip if youre not familiar with the Vietnamese cuisine!

Max was a fantastic guide, introducing us to the popular street food dishes in the Old Quarter of Hanoi. His selection was terrific matched only by his story telling. Other members of our tour group were strangers but we ended the day as friends having enjoyed such a wonderful few hours together. Cannot recommend this tour (and Max) enough!

We had the best street food experience with Max! Altough we have been to Hanoi and also did a food tour before, he offered some more inside information and showed us new places! I would recommend this tour to any friend!
