Experience Food Tours in Hanoi with Withlocals

"Anne was an absolute pleasure to have in my food tour! She is friendly, outgoing, and full of great energy. What truly made the experience stand out was how she made me feel like a friend rather than just another guest. That genuine connection added so much warmth and fun to the day. She took me to amazing local spots I never would’ve discovered on my own—places that offered a real taste of Hanoi’s rich culinary scene. I don’t eat pork, which can be tricky in Vietnamese cuisine, but Anne was incredibly thoughtful and flexible. She effortlessly worked around it while still giving me an authentic and flavorful food experience. Thanks to her deep local knowledge and personal touch, I walked away with a full stomach and a much deeper appreciation for Hanoi’s food culture. I’d absolutely recommend Anne to anyone looking for a food tour that’s not only delicious but truly memorable."

"I have traveled many places for many years and I can say that Quynh Ahn is absolutely the best!! She met us right on time, was super friendly and personable, fluent in English, and heaps of fun! She made sure in advance to take our group of 5 to places that accommodated the vegetarian in the group, and every place we ate had incredible food. I know people say that guides take them to places that they wouldn’t have found on their own, and this was so true! I can’t give her enough stars and I’d love to spend more time with her and eating at all the other places she must know! We learned so much from her and had a wonderful time! "

"Excellent time. Highly recommend. She is well-deserving of the high ratings. Great food, good variety, and no problems with regards to any food safety concerns if one is worried about that. I recommend to bring a large appetite too--the amount of food is also generous !"

"We had a great evening with yummi dishes and a lovely host. Absolutely recommend!! "

"We had a fabulous food walking tour around the Old Quarter in Hanoi with Lien. She was so easy to deal with, had great history knowledge, was personable and happy to answer all our questions. She gave us some really useful tips to ensure our experience in Hanoi was safe and fun. I would recommend Lien for her history, great communication and personalizing the tour to meet our dietary needs (gluten free). It has been a real highlight. "

"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."

"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 !!"
