Lots of food that I wouldn’t otherwise have tried and walked streets that were well off the beaten track for foreigners
Evelin, my guide, was an absolute delight. I was incredibly lucky to find myself as the only guest signed up for the morning tour and she instantly made me feel like we were firm friends out for a fun morning together. The vendors she visits all obviously enjoy her visits as they treated us with great friendliness and efficiency. The food was fantastic - she took me to all of the places I was too timid to try travelling solo, and she checked in with me along the way about my comfort and what I wanted to do next. There was a great mix of history, local knowledge and great local food shared! I would highly recommend to anyone else who is finding themselves landed in chaotic Hanoi and wanting a friendly face to introduce them to getting around and what to eat. She left me feeling much more confident about trying new things and just getting around in Hanoi by myself. Thank you so much Evelin!
Excellent experience, highly recommended, went to a lot of places in the back streets we otherwise would not have known existed, Evelin was very knowledgeable & friendly :)
Well worth doing! Taken to some gorgeous places, and a variety of vibes. Would not have found dine of these gems alone and great information about local food on the way. Evelin was very knowledgeable and friendly!
Fabulous evening. We went to lots of places we would have never found and ate delicious food. Our guide Evelin was fantastic, extremely friendly, fun and knowledgeable
Great experience, so much food! And went to places I never would have found myself
The food tour was also a city tour! I gotta see the different streets and the meaning behind them by my guide San Tan! The food recommended are delicious and absolutely suited for the international stomachs. I loved the Bun Cha, Banh Cuon and actually all of them haha. It ends with egg coffee with a lake view! Loved it!
The tour with San was perfect! We really loved the tour and would absolutely recommend to do it :) San speaks english fluently and was very kind, he told us alot about the local culture and took us to hidden local gems.
I had a great tour guide, Evelin, she was very knowledgeable and helpful during the tour. The best food of the tour was the Banh Cuon.
Fantastic Hanoi street food tour with Evelyn! She was friendly, knowledgeable and took us to some incredible local food spots. The highlight was learning how authentic Vietnamese egg coffee is made before enjoying a delicious cup. Highly recommend!
