Cherry was the most amazing tour guide! She was so knowledgeable and took us to some amazing spots. Cherry was so lovely with our children and made them feel so comfortable and encouraged them to try so many new foods. She even brought them a little gift along the way and some sweet treats at the start. We loved every moment of our tour.
This was a fantastic food tour! Cherry was great. She modified the tour based on our wishes and food requests and was wonderful with our kids. Would highly recommend. The food was delicious and we had a wonderful time!
Restaurants were closed due to Tet holidays but our guide managed to find us alternatives and we also learnt about Vietnamese culture
Jenni was great, taking us to authentic places to eat in Hanoi , she gave us invaluable local information . I would recommend her food tours if it is your first time in Hanoi !
Jennie was so informative and took us to some of the nicest tasting food places that we ate in the whole of Vietnam. It was an excellent way to see Hanoi off the beaten track and take us to places we otherwise wouldn’t have known or even gone too. She is so enthusiastic and such a nice person - I would highly recommend for anyone to go on this tour!!!!! Thank you for everything 👍
My teenage son and I got to experience so many authentic Hanoi dishes in little alleys and taste dishes that we would never been able to find by ourselves. As we had already travelled for 6 weeks in Vietnam, we had tried all the well known dishes. So Cherry found us an amazing selection of Old Town restaurants and dishes that we hadn't tried before - all were fresh and delicious! Cherry has the inside knowledge and deep understanding of the local food scene and the street vendors. A must for all foodies that want an in-depth Hanoi food experience.
The tour was fun and e visited various places and tasted all different kind of tasty foods, the guide was very friendly and bubbly and enthusiastic. I really enjoyed the tour. Thank you
The tour was great dun, the guide was very good at explaining everything and was very enthusiastic and had a nice energy, we walked around to different places and tried a variety of foods. She was very friendly, book her if you are in the old town and want a food tour.
I had a wonderful street food tour in Hanoi! Our guide was extremely kind, smiling, and very professional. She listened carefully to our food preferences and made sure everything matched what we liked. We were able to try many different local dishes, and it was an amazing way to discover Hanoi’s authentic flavors. I highly recommend this tour and her guiding. It was a great experience from start to finish!
Wow, this tour was great! We learned so much this night, not only about alllll the different dishes Vietnam has to offer (and yes, it’s more than Banh Mi but it’s still so good), but Cherry also was the first person after travelling in Vietnam for 3 weeks, who told us something about the Vietnamese culture/way of living. The combination of it all made it a perfect tour for us! Would definitely recommend!!
