Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Wonderful tour that handled my food needs well. I don't eat beef or pork, which is a huge challenge with street food. "
"Lien was the perfect introduction to Vietnam - and especially to Hanoi. Since it was our very first time in Vietnam, we booked this tour for our first day, and it couldn’t have been a better decision. We spent an amazing day with Lien, exploring the incredible food culture of Hanoi. One of the highlights was visiting small local restaurants and street food spots that most tourists would never find - places that often aren’t even easy to find on Google, yet serve some of the best food we’ve had in Vietnam. These weren’t the usual Instagram-famous locations, but genuine local gems filled with authentic flavors and local character. What made the tour even more special is that we kept returning to many of the places Lien showed us whenever we came back to Hanoi during our trip. That alone says everything about how good her recommendations were. Beyond the fantastic food, Lien shared so much knowledge about Vietnamese culture, traditions, daily life, and the stories behind the dishes. Her passion for Hanoi and its food scene is truly contagious. Most importantly, Lien is an incredibly warm, friendly, and genuine person. She made us feel welcome from the very first minute and turned what could have been “just a food tour” into one of the highlights of our entire Vietnam journey. We will definitely return to Hanoi one day, and when we do, we would love to join another tour with Lien. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience and for giving us such a perfect start to our Vietnam adventure ❤️🇻🇳"
"Here’s a more polished version that still sounds genuine and enthusiastic: We had the best day with Trang after she was recommended to us by family friends who had also done a food tour with her. It was an incredible experience to discover so many hidden food gems in Hanoi, and without Trang we would never have found them. Every stop was fantastic, and it gave us the confidence to explore even more of the city during the rest of our stay. Trang’s local knowledge was exceptional. Not only did she introduce us to amazing food, but she also shared interesting stories and history about Hanoi, which added so much more to the experience. She went above and beyond to accommodate us, even changing our tour time when our flights were delayed. Before we had even arrived, she was already giving us recommendations for our first evening in Hanoi, which was incredibly helpful. We couldn’t recommend Trang’s food tour highly enough. If you’re visiting Hanoi, this is an absolute must-do experience!"
"Ruby was an excellent host for the evening. This was a great introduction to the food and culture of Hanoi"
"we had the best time with lien! we got to learn so much about hanoi through our food journey and lien was great at answering all of our questions - food related or not!! we got to experience places we would have never thought to go try (some we didn’t even realise were kitchens too). truly an amazing experience i would recommend to everyone. make sure your stomach is empty beforehand! "
"Trang was an outstanding guide. Personable, knowledgeable and fun to be with. Food was amazing - I don’t need to eat for a week now!"
"Great time trying everything from bun cha to egg coffee. Highly recommended to dive into Hanoi’s food scene with someone who really knows the city!"
"Kim is super knowlegable about local food , culture and history and kept us fully engaged for 4 hours trying great local dishes in non touristy spots"
"Kim told us he wanted us to see Hanoi through his eyes. It was awesome. He was attentive to what we wanted to try, a great conversationalist, willing to take on any questions, and fully flexible with our itinerary. Highly recommended. "
"Lien was amazing! Super knowledgeable and kind and took us to some delicious places that we truly would not have experienced on our own. She personalized the tour to our preferences and gave us a lot of great information. She even shared her personal recommendations for our next stop on our trip in Vietnam. Amazing experience. "
