Hanoi E buddies is a fantastic concept and a wonderful reality!
Jessica met me on my first night, of my first long solo (6mth) trip, to introduce me to some Vietnamese great food, local to my hotel. We had amazing Bún chá, followed by a short walk to grab a fresh sugar cane drink and then châm bào (steamed rice puddings). The conversation flowed, it felt comfortable to ask and answer questions. I was so impressed with her English, even describing the rain that morning as “raining like cats and dogs”. Brilliant!!

An Amazing Food Tour with a Wonderful Local Guide
I had such a great experience on the food tour with Lilu! She really took the time to adapt the tour to the places and dishes I wanted to try, which made it feel very personal.
Lilu is a lovely local from Hanoi, and you can tell she’s passionate about sharing her city. Every food recommendation was spot on, and I got to try some absolutely delicious local dishes that I probably wouldn’t have found on my own.
It wasn’t just about the food. We had a genuinely enjoyable evening together, with great conversations and a chance to experience Hanoi from a local perspective.
Thank you, Lilu, for such a memorable experience. If you’re visiting Hanoi, I highly recommend booking a tour with Hanoi e.Buddies. You won’t regret it!

Foodie tour
My guide was very pleasant to meet! She was understanding and accommodating to my schedule, as I had a rushed situation. She gave me good advice and chose really great food options to experience. Im glad I took the chance to book this tour, if I have the opportunity id like to try another tour with this agency.

Hanoi food tour and history tour
Really recommend this tour especially its a private tour. Jessica was really good tour guide and she brought us to local spots that were pretty good. Really felt like a local when we were going around with her. The tour was so good we booked another tour the next day for a history tour with Rachel she wqs great at explaining the history of the places we went to. And she brought us to a local eatery also and the food was great. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a tour guide in hanoi.

I loved it!
It was such a lovely experience. Jessica was so thoughtful and warm. I gave the information about what i can eat or like to eat and she prepared a list for me. We had lovely chat while eating delicious foods. And also walked around the city to grab some snacks. She was a perfect guide and the day felt like i grab some food with a friend.

Great local food experience and cultural exchange
My buddy Jessica helped to source local food stalls with low chairs and tables (as requested by me) and dealt with ordering as stall owners couldn’t speak English, we went to many places and all the food were good! After the tour she even sent me a long food list of what to try next! She is also friendly and interesting to know more about Vietnam through her, highly recommend everyone to join this tour!

Great and individual street food tour
We had a great afternoon with our guide Serena. The food selection was great and we got a lot of insides into Vietnamese life. We highly recommend it and would do the tour again at any time.

FOODTRIP AT HANOI!
Superb Experience (Food Tour) with Lea! We are group of 3 and we had a last minute change with our itinerary.
Good thing, Hanoi e_buddies is there to cater our hanoi experience. Lea is truly a plus! She's very kind, funny, and intelligent person. It's like it is not the first time we met her. It's like we are talking to an old friend who just came back after a long time. Haha! 😆
Thank you so much Lea! We truly appreciate your time and stories you've shared.
Till next time!
Eric, Chala, and Mark.
