This tour was an absolute highlight of our trip. Not only was every single dish we tried delicious, but also Alex was the perfect host! Next time I am in Hanoi I will for sure do this tour again!

Our instructor was very friendly and sweet...She explained everything clearly and gave us a lot of information on the local culture. And the food was excellent too... It also helped a lot that they arranged transport to the place and back. Great workshop, definitely recommend!

Everything about this was just perfect! The tea house is a beautiful, serene space in the chaos of Hà Nội. I loved the guided meditation to settle you into the space, the smelling and tasting of the tea, finding out about how it is grown. And the tea lady, unfortunately I forgot her name, was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. Can’t recommend this enough!

The coffee expert was brilliant; lots of information and great coffees. The food part of the experience was cancelled because the local chef was not working, plus i was the only person (out of 7) having the extra food component. The refund i was given was less than i would have expected (1/3 of what i paid). So i ended up paying almost 1/2 more for the coffee experience than those that just bought the coffee experience!
