Such a fantastic experience. Hà was knowledgeable across a range of topics - we learnt about the history of the Vietnamese coffee culture and of the specific cafes we visited. Hà was also incredibly generous with his time, stretching our tour to accommodate our discussions and going out of his way to find little extras like the best place for donut balls! Well worth the extra for a private tour. We've even booked a cycling tour in Hoi An with the same operator.
We booked the tour to learn more about the coffee culture and history of Vietnam, and it did not disappoint! Mr. Ha was the best! He was very friendly and had such a cheery demeanour that we immediately felt at ease. He was not only knowledgeable, but also patient and attentive towards our questions. He was respectful and engaging, and did not get annoyed even when my younger kids were bugging him for attention. The drinks served at the places we visited were all incredible too! It was a truly fantastic and memorable experience for our entire family!
This coffee tour was such a highlight of our trip. Our guide, Son was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, sharing so much insight into Vietnamese coffee, its history, and the local culture around it. You could tell they were passionate, which made the experience even more engaging. The locations we visited were beautiful and thoughtfully chosen, each offering a unique atmosphere. And of course, the coffee itself was fantastic. I especially recommend trying the egg coffee. It’s rich, creamy, and unlike anything I’ve had before. The traditional Vietnamese coffee is also a must. Overall, this tour was the perfect mix of great drinks, interesting history, and memorable spots. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting.
My friends and I did the tour with Nick and had a great time! He gave us helpful information and took us to a good mix of the essential ca phes, as well as some that we would never find on our own. He also spent a lot of time to provide us with detailed recommendations for after our coffee tour. Nick was very enjoyable to speak with and we had a lot of great coffee. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to try great coffee.
You will have some of the best coffee on the planet and get the history behind the locations. A lot of caffeine!
We were lucky to have a private tour with David as our guide to explore some lovely coffee spots. We got to try lots of different types of coffee, and learned a lot both about coffee and about life in Hanoi. David was so lovely, friendly, and informative. Our final stop was a specialty coffee shop with the smoothest black Robusta we have ever tasted. We would highly recommend this tour!
We had a great time. We were shown multiple different kind of Vietnamese coffees, walked around to different locations and heard interesting history about all of it. Would highly recommend the tour
I had an exceptional experience with A taste of Hanoi Tour travel company. I spent 5 days in Hanoi in November 2025. A Taste of Hanoi, was amazing with organizing everything for me. Tours, food and street tours and hotels and transfers to and from the hotels. I highly recommend this company to anyone going to Vietnam and Hanoi. This was a stress free time in Hanoi, everything perfectly organised, nothing was a problem for Brian the company manager. Their tours range from amazing street food tours, to walking coffee tours to, the amazing landscape vistas of Hanoi. I visited Ha Long Bay while on this tour, what an experience it was, everything went without a glitch. From the bus ride to the cruise down Ha Long Bay this company made my experience while in Hanoi so pleasurable and exciting, and wanting more of Hanoi in the future. I visited one of Hanoi's most famous michelin star cuisine restaurants there called "Chapter" , wow what an experience it was, tastes of food from all over Vietnam, all organised by Brian from Taste of Hanoi. To anyone that goes to Hanoi, ask Brian to book you this restaurant you wont be dissappointed! The food was amazing! A taste of Hanoi went above and beyond expectations , everything so professionally organised , tour guides extremely organised and well knowledged with their tours and set out to give you an experience you will remember! Thank you Brian and Taste of Hanoi, quoting Arnold, "I'll be back"!

Lovely tour with Jennifer! Good mix of cafes and great coffee. Appreciated that we visited both old quarter and french quarter shops, and that many of the shops would have been quite hard to spot if not for the tour. Jennifer also gave great insight into Hanoi in general. Recommend!
