Experience the best of
Hanoi with Withlocals

"Ruby was a wonderful guide on our food tour yesterday. We had arrived in Hanoi only minutes before the tour started. We were feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about eating in our new surroundings! Ruby put us at ease and we started to enjoy trying many new things. My husband and I shared portions and we ended up very full. Almost too much food! Ruby was funny and interesting to visit with. I tried to say Vietnamese words and she couldn’t help but laugh at my efforts. We had so much fun!! "

"Loan has a deep understanding of the history and culture of Hanoi through her own and her family's experience, which she shared generously. Loan is kind and thoughtful. I recommend this tour with her. "

"Anne brought us to places that as tourist we wouldn’t necessarily select but had amazing food and people. She’s a lovely host and knows well about her country and the great food spot in Hanoi."

"Liên was great, very knowledgeable and interesting and clearly proud of her country and the city she lives in. We had a really fun time with her and she had carefully worked out the route and menu to take into account my wife’s vegetarian dietary requirements. We felt bad because we couldn’t manage to eat everything, but we got some packages to take away for later so all good. Would definitely recommend Liên to anyone."

"Well worth doing the street food tour with Lien. She designs a tour based on your food tastes and she she really thinks about what foods you would like to try. We tried 10 items in total and went to places my family and I would never have thought to go. Just an overall amazing experience and Lien is a seriously lovely person!"

"We had a fantastic food tour with Lien. She introduced us to many excellent places to eat in Hanoi and was a delight to spend time with. I can really recommend Lien as your tour guide."

"Ruby was wonderful in every way "

"We had the absolute pleasure of exploring Hanoi's vibrant street food scene with Ruby as our guide. Ruby's commitment to showcasing the real essence of Vietnamese cuisine is truly remarkable. She introduced us to hidden gems we would have never discovered on our own and made sure every stop was a unique culinary adventure. What made the tour even more special was how warm and accommodating Ruby was. She was incredibly kind to our daughter, Weronika, ensuring she felt included and comfortable throughout the entire experience. It felt like exploring the city with a friend who genuinely cared about making our visit extraordinary. We truly recommend Ruby to anyone looking to dive into Hanoi's street food culture. If you want a guide who is knowledgeable, passionate, and attentive, Ruby is the one. Thank you for the wonderful memories, Ruby!"

"Loan was an incredible guide, making my introduction to Hanoi truly memorable. Her deep knowledge of the country’s history and her knack for uncovering hidden gems in the Old Quarter added so much charm to the experience. She pointed out details I would have completely missed on my own, giving the tour an extra layer of magic. One standout moment was when she took us to the famous doughnut stand tucked away in the Old Quarter—it was absolutely delicious and something I never would have found without her. Loan also recommended a street food tour with another guide, which sounded amazing, though sadly, we ran out of time to try it. Loan, thank you for an unforgettable experience! Your expertise and warmth made our time in Hanoi so much more special."

"We had a great time with Jenny. She went out of her way to make sure that we visited the places of interest to us. She was insightful and really helped us to enjoy the city b oth on the tour and with recommendations for after the tour. Fantastic! "
