Hanoi Food tours

To say we enjoyed this tour would be an understatement. We originally booked the 2 PM tour, but arrived early and were kindly accommodated after just a 20-minute wait. We also underestimated Hanoi’s heat, but our guide, Lucy, kept us so engaged that we barely noticed. It felt less like a formal tour and more like exploring the city with a local friend. You could probably visit the same food spots on your own, but what made this experience worth every penny was Lucy. She shared the stories behind each dish, local traditions, and even taught us a few Vietnamese terms, making the experience far more meaningful. The food was fantastic, with generous portions and authentic local favorites we would never have found on our own. Out of everything we did during our 7-day Vietnam trip, this was one of our favorite experiences. What stayed with us most was not just the food but the warmth of the people, from Lucy to the vendors at each stop, and Dummy the cat. If you can, ask for Lucy!

Hands down one of the best experiences we had in Hanoi. Coordination was seamless from booking to arrival — the team was incredibly proactive, making sure we got to the workshop smoothly with clear instructions every step of the way.
 Our host / teacher, Lin, was professional, warm, friendly, and spoke excellent English, which made everything easy and enjoyable. The atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming, and even with other participants, the experience still felt intimate and personal thanks to the small group size.
 What we appreciated most was how hands-on and personalized it felt — and the recipes were genuinely delicious!!! More than learning how to make coffee, it gave us a deeper appreciation for the craft, the process, and the culture behind it. Super fun!

This is an absolute must for everyone, when you are in Hanoi, Vietnam. My lovely Michelin Street-Based tour guide, Othecya, made this experience memorable. We went to 2x Pho places, one chicken and another beef, also went to an eel restaurant, which was mind blowingly delicious. Finally, we wrapped up with dessert which was a sticky rice ice cream with mango and pandan coconut, also very tasty.

The dinner buffet was exceptionally great to me. Not only with substantial choices of dishes to choose from, the food quality itself was delicious in terms of appearance and taste. I really appreciate the services rendered by the cafe staff.

I highly recommend this restaurant. The michelin star is well deserved. The food was great and very comforting. Will book again once we get back. Truly an astonishing cuisine.

We had a great time. It was a chill and enjoyable tour where we got to try some of Vietnam’s staple dishes, along with a few that were a bit unique. Liam was friendly and shared interesting information about the food and its background, which made the experience even better. We tried six dishes in total: bun cha, Vietnamese coffee, mixed pho, pho spring rolls, banh mi, and sticky rice ice cream (personal favorite) . If you enjoy walking, this tour is a great fit since each restaurant is about 700 meters to 1 km apart, making it a nice way to explore the area between stops. We ended the night with a cyclo ride. It was a nice way to take in the surroundings and also convenient because we didn’t have to worry about haggling over the price, something that can sometimes happen when arranging cyclo rides on your own. Overall, it was a great experience and I’d recommend it if you’re looking for a chill way to explore, walk around, and enjoy good food.

This is one of the best buffets in Vietnam. Especially with the lobster and seafood dishes they have. Highly recommended.

The office to collect was a short 12 mins walk from our hotel. it was easy to find via google map. We started to sample the food according to the sequence recommended by the staff at the office and completed in about 2hours via walking within the old quarters area. It was a great start to understand the local food culture in Hanoi.

Nicky was incredibly helpful in showing us around Hanoi's nightlife scene since we are brand new to the city. We really appreciated his guidance and even went back to one of the spots he recommended the following weekend. He is highly recommended for anyone looking to navigate the local scene! experience: fun location:excellent
