Never having done a good tour before, we were not sure what to expect. Our young guide,Cong,a student was chatty and informative, telling us not just about the food, but also about Hanoi architecture & customs. He took us to a selection of eating/drinking venues that we'd not have found ourselves. Vietnamese food is diverse & delicious. We had a lot of fun & Is thoroughly recommend this tour..

We did the Hanoi Food Experience Tour in the evening of our arrival day. Together with our lovely guide Huyen, we explored five different places to have excellent and typical food. This was a perfect start for us in Hanoi as Huyen also could give us useful tips. The next day we additionally did the Hanoi Old Quarter and French Quarter Tour.

Our tour guide Thinh brought us to all the good food restaurants around the Old Quarter in Hanoi, Vietnam. I wanted to experience the traditional way of how locals eat which is by the side streets and he showed us exactly that. The best part of the tour was the Egg Coffee, it was so delicious, we wouldn't have it all figured out if it wasn't for Thinh, his english is so good too. He helped us with haggling with the locals since we decided to buy a few things that we saw at the market along the way which is not part of the tour by the way but he was very patient and willingly do it for us. The company is so lucky to have a guide like him, you need to request for him when you go to Hanoi too! :-)
