We had an incredible tour with Linh as our guide! All of the food spots were delicious and Linh was a great guide giving us insight into the food history and culture of Vietnam. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Hanoi to take this tour!

This tour is a must for visitors to Hanoi. The street food scene can be a bit overwhelming for the first-time visitor to Hanoi. Our guide Max made it simple and understandable. He took us to his favorite spots and explained how to enjoy this food like a local. Max is the best-I highly recommend him!!

This was a great food tour. It was a lovely way to enjoy some simple Vietnamese food with other travellers. The tour guide (Ba?) was very nice, accommodating and polite. He was excellent. His English was very good too. It's the third time I have done this same tour in Hanoi over the past couple of years. Great evening. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to try out Vietnamese food or simply wanting to have a pleasant evening/ afternoon/morning out with other travellers.

LOVED this tour. Did it on my first full day in Vietnam and it helped me get comfortable with the local dining experience and expectations. So delicious!! I’m confident know in eating great local food at the best spots.

Mai Mia was our tour. She took us around old town Hanoi and ate 7 courses of food. Also taught us about Vietnamese culture. We had a great time learning and eating food

Was part of a group of 7 and the experience was wonderful. We were met on time at our pickup location and our guide did a great job keeping things moving. The tastings were amazing - highly recommend!!

We had a good tour with Peter. He not only guided us through the maze of the Old Quarter to some amazing food like fantastic Bun Cha, Egg Coffee and Coconut sticky rice. But he is also very knowledgeable about history, and we had great conversations about the history of Vietnam, its relations with China and other things. And Peter also gave me a great tip for a book as a bonus. Hands down one of the best food tours we have ever been to.

We had a great time with Max! He showed us great places, is very funny and knows a lot about the city and the country. We can highly recommend :)

Mai brought us to six different places to try a variety of food, all of which was excellent. One of the dishes still ranks as the tastiest thing we’ve eaten in Vietnam (and we’ve eaten a lot of tasty things). It’s a very worthwhile tour, especially if you’ve only recently arrived in Hanoi.
