Huy is great! Very polite, knowledgeable about the area and culture. Answered questions i had about the culture and how people live in the area. Very educational and interesting! The food was excellent and gave us more confidence where and what to eat. Priceless for your first time in Vietnam. I would recommend booking him for a guided food tour for your first day in Hanoi. It really helped to get to know the area and the excellent food hear.

My dad and I went with Huy as our guide. He brought us to the best places and we had some of the best food we had ever tasted! He taught us so much about the people in Hanoi, how they eat and how they live! It was an unforgettable experience and I would recommend you not leave Hanoi without having done this tour! Huy was truly the best guide, so helpful, friendly, fun and knowledgeable!

We had the pleasure of having Huy as our guide for our tour. Huy was incredibly personable, knowledgeable and kind. His service was excellent--expertly navigating us through the busy and bustling streets of Hanoi to our destinations. The food was incredibly delicious and Huy was kind enough to provide us with a list of the local eateries we visited, plus additional recommendations. Thanks Huy for a fun, safe and enjoyable couple of hours around the Old Quarter!

If you want to get the most out of your time in Hanoi, then a food tour with a local expert of this culinary capital is a must. And no one does it better than Minh, who knows all of the best and secret restaurants and food stalls in the Old Quarter. Minh’s knowledge of the area and Vietnamese culture makes the tour a great experience all around. And your stomach will be full from all of the wonderful tastings!

Huy was an excellent guide - worked around our food preferences and allergies with each vendor without sacrificing the experience!

We had a wonderful friendly guide in Patrick who was super professional, while being very knowledgeable about his city, its culture and history and its array of foods. We did the tour on our second day which is our habit in most pls es we visit as it gives us invaluable info on what to eat and where to find the best off the radar places. We enjoyed every food we were offered snd looked forward to retracing steps (with a handy guide and map provided by Patrick) so that we can eat our favourites again. Many of the restaurants we would never be able to find on our own so highly recommend Patrick and his tour for visitors to Hanoi. You will not be disappointed.
