Experience the best of
Hanoi with Withlocals

"Lien is so absolutely amazing, I could not write a review good enough to describe her. Kind, knowledgeable, and fun with a great connection and relationship with her community and fantastic taste in food. She shows you where to eat, what to eat, how to eat and the history behind the dishes all in easy and smooth conversation. Great mix of cuisine and drinks on her tour. She does an amazing job of making sure you hit all the foods and spots you might not otherwise find and know. Beyond that she was helpful in providing us with knowledge to make our time outside of her tour enjoyable as well. Hanoi has the food you instantly fall in love with and Lien is the person."

"We had an amazing time with Brian on our 5 plus-hour Craft Beer Tour. It exceeded our expectations. Brian and a driver (in a nice van with A/C) picked us up from our hotel and drove us to two different breweries (Overmorrow and Labtory) and two craft beer restaurants along with a stop on “chicken street” for food in the middle. Additional finger foods were provided all along the way. We tasted 15 different beers on this tour. Brian gave us nice gifts from the Taste of Hanoi - he is one of the owners and clearly cares about his business. The bag and koozie were both worth taking home. We enjoyed the entire trip but loved all the beers from both Overmorrow and Labory the most. Getting to know the owners of those breweries and their businesses was fascinating and an added bonus. Brian is an excellent guide and business owner. He was so easy to work with. We coordinated quite a bit before our group even left for Asia. He offered great suggestions and helped us with other planning. I highly recommend this tour and Taste of Hanoi. "

"Ruby was engaging, speaks good English and knows her stuff well. I would highly recommend this tour With Locals (more than Viator or Get your Guide) and make sure to get Ruby. Ruby has introduced us to really good food in Hanoi and some of it are Michelin. Because of this, our standard for other food tours have increased too! :-) We love Hanoi food because of this tour! :-) My only recommendation is to include Pancakes in the tour as this is something unusual for tourists where you get to wrap the pancake in a rice noodle!"

"We had a fabulous time with Lien on the street food tasting tour. She picked amazing places. She was so personable, fun and intelligent. Our communication before was excellent and she made sure to ask us what was I important to us. We told her a few foods we wanted to taste but let her make the choices beyond that. We highly recommend this tour with Lien."

"our guide took us to some great locations we would never have found without her. we loved the old city gate and the train bridge. The style was engaging and positive and always interesting "

"We did a food tour with Ruby that was spectacular! Ruby is knowledgeable, friendly and funny. She took us around to local places (very little tourists) to sample the delicious cuisine. What fun! Don’t hesitate…book Ngoc Ruby now…you won’t regret it. "

"Really enjoyed the street food tour with Jessica. She’s super nice and the food was delicious and very varied. The food was also very different to a similar tour in Ho Chi Minh. Jessica really took the time to explain local cultures and customs which was really nice as well. 10/10 !!"

"Lien was awesome! She is a lovely communicator and tailored the tour to our needs. She showed us some amazing food spots and we learned a lot about the food scene in Hanoi. She even followed up after the tour to remind us of what we ate and provided a few extra recommendations too! We were both full after the tour, so come hungry! "

"We really enjoyed the tour with Trang, she took us to places that were off the beaten track and we would not have found on our own. We had great conversation about life in Hanoi, Trang’s knowledge of history is great! Thank you! "

"Anne is one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had! She was so welcoming and flexible with us, she not only taught us about food but the food culture and what to eat and avoid. We had so much fun with her and I would recommend everyone visiting Hanoi spend time with her. Time and money well spent for a perfect introduction to Hanoi"
