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!
