This was one of my favorite things about Hanoi. Tony (Thanh) and Phuong were excellent hosts. Tony clearly knew his way around and took us to awesome hole in the wall joints hidden in dark alleys and had insightful tid bits about the food as well as the history of the areas we visited. He was also kind enough to accommodate my request for vegetarian food. The food was outstanding and I was glad I didn't eat a lot during the day!! Definitely worth every penny. I also loved that after the tour he sent an email with all the names of the dishes we had along with recipes and location.
I'm a US travel agent specializing in SE Asia and took this tour last week as part of my research. It's a wonderful way to get the confidence to explore the chaotic Old Quarter streets of Hanoi. Educational, entertaining and most of all delicious.Thanh, our guide was so enthusiastic about his work, you couldn't help but get excited with him.
Highly recommended, but definitely skip the meal beforehand, you need to be hungry.
The street food tour was fantastic! Tony (Thanh) and Andy (Phuong) were such kind hosts and very professional. They made the tour interesting and fun as they explained Hanoi's cuisine. All of the food was delicious; make sure to have an empty stomach before you go and save room for the egg coffee at the end of the tour! I feel much more confident in trying street food now after having taken this excellent tour.
As first timers to Vietnam this food tour was a great introduction to the Vietnamese cuisine. We visited a lot of food stalls and side alleys, places we probably would not have gone to on our own. After the tour we felt much braver eating athe street stalls. Highly recommend. Guide was helpful and knowledgeable.
This was a wonderful tour!! We took this tour at the start of our visit in Vietnam. It was a great way to get things started. Our tour guide Ha was amazing! He was so kind and knowledgable. Plus the food was fantastic. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.
