Amazing tour with Minh, loved every place he took us to and gave us a great overview of the old quarter and answered our questions about Vietnam. Also was a great level of food, not too much but good portion sizes!

Fantastic and varied food tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Absolutely fabulous tour, all of the food was phenomenal and wasn’t just an expected pho, banh mi, bun cha etc. The guide Minh was amazing, very friendly and would tell us stories about life in Hanoi and the food itself. Strongly recommend

Excellent guide, food, experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Minh was an excellent guide, he explained things very well, took us to truly non-tourist places off the beaten path, avoided the generic Vietnamese foods we all expected, encouraged our questions, explained many things about the culture, and gave us so many recommendations outside of the tour. He took excellent care of us, getting us around the busy areas and telling us the areas for pickpockets. This tour truly exceeded our expectations!! And was a huge highlight of our visit in the country.
