Make sure you go on an empty stomach! We were absolutely spoilt for choice, which isn’t always the case as a vegetarian/vegan. Our guide, Elena, was so warm and friendly. She was great with helping us navigate different dietary requirements without compromising on taste (vegetarian, vegan, egg allergy). It also gave us the confidence to eat at places we would have otherwise and try dishes we wouldn’t have contemplated. It was also good to better understand how to eat certain dishes to enjoy the flavour combinations.
We did the hanoi street food tour with our guide, Apple. She was amazing. Very informative and friendly to talk to and with a sense of humor. We tried 7 different varieties of food (8 if you count the beer) at different locations, all of them were great. It was a great way to be introduced to Hanoi's food scene and culture. I'll definitely be recommending it to others who go to Hanoi. Thank you :)
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hanoi! With so many options in the city, it can feel overwhelming to decide where to go, but this experience takes you to the very best local spots and lets you try all the must-eat dishes in Hanoi. Our guide, Elena, was wonderful — not just a guide but someone who made the entire tour fun and memorable. I’m so happy we had her with us! Just a tip: the tour includes 8 dishes in total, so make sure to come with an empty stomach!
Three of us went on this tour with guide nicknamed Apple and all of us agreed it has been the highlight of our stay in Hanoi. I was a bit skeptical at first of what a guide can show us that we have not seen ourselves in the 4 days we’ve spent in Hanoi already. I was so wrong! We walked by the same stalls on the street every day while in Hanoi but with her guidance we were now truly seeing them for what they were offering. Apple was very knowledgeable in a very easy, natural way. Funny, kind, patient and very protective of us crossing the street :) Besides the focus on food, she showed us a little bit of history and shared some insights on local customs. Thanks to Apple, I’m now seeing Hanoi with new eyes. If you have any hesitation whether to book this tour - don’t. I promise you won’t regret it!
Wonderful tour with a lot of favorite dishes of Vietnam. The route walking around sold quarters was interesting and I loved the long bien bridge view. Apple our guide was funny and helpful keeping our group together. The traffic was difficult to navigate but we managed to arrive safely. I don’t recommend small children on this tour. The operator could offer more alternatives for vegetarians as I was unsatisfied with paying a high price for little food. The ending was the highlight with train street. Quite dangerous but they managed our group with instructions to keep away from the train.
