"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! "
"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"
"We had a lot of fun during our tour with Lien. She contacted us a few days before we actually met and changed the tour a bit to match our requirements. The chosen locations and dishes exactly matched, what we had expected from a street food tour.
The dishes were very tasty and for sure we did not return hungry to our hotel. As well her recommendation for an egg-coffee cafe, which she had left out intentionally because of the time of the day, turned out to be a perfect choice. In addition with all the explanations she gave us during the tour, we got a perfect impression about Hanoi's street food."

Ruby is wonderful!
"Ruby was a fabulous guide for our family of six (2 adults, 1 teen and 3 young adults). We chose a private evening walking food tour and saw many sights, heard background stories and tasted an amazing array of Hanoi food. We said our goodbyes to Ruby with very full bellies before finishing our night with a visit to Train Street. Thanks so much Ruby!"
"Quynh Anh was a great host. Extremely personable and full of local knowledge. It was the first day I was in town so it helped tremendously. We tried so many awesome dishes at great spots with great inside stories. She also gave me a bunch of tips and pointers about Hanoi that have already been super helpful. Thanks Quynh Anh, stay awesome."
"We were so lucky to have found Lien. Her knowledge of the area, the history, and the food was expert level.
We appreciated the communication with her before our scheduled time to make sure she understood if we had any allergies or food preferences so she could customize our experience.
Her choices of street food introduced us to so many foods we wouldn’t have tried on our own. She was also so kind and easy to talk with. "
"We had the most incredible tour with Lien, who fully customized it to meet my dietary requirements (pescatarian). We tasted some of the best Vietnamese food we have ever tried (and will go back to many of the spots!) and she was just so lovely, friendly and interesting - sharing lots of local tips and cooking inspiration l and gave us a real insight into Hanoi’s food culture. "
"We wanted to learn more about the food and drinks in Hanoi. Lien was excellent!! She was on time, knowledgeable, passionate and flexible in adjusting to our wishes. She made our stay in Hanoi special and we highly recommend Lien!"
