We had such a great time with Linh! They did a wonderful job teaching us about the local food and taking us to truly local places. It was nice that we got to give our preferences as well! Linh has such a great personality and it was so much fun spending time with them!

The tour was amazing thanks to our great guide Linh! She was very friendly and knowledgeable, and took us to some great hidden gems that we would never have found on our own. We really liked how she explained the history of each dish we ate, showed us the best way of eating them, and also gave us some history and facts about Hanoi as we walked around. Definitely the highlight of our trip, thankyou Linh!!

Loved getting to learn about what life is like from a local, and the food was very tasty too. My mom was not feeling well partway through the tour and we had to go home, but our guide, Linh, was extremely professional, helpful, and supportive throughout the entire incident. I am so grateful to have had him as our tour guide, as I was very worried about my mom, and cannot commend Linh enough for his composure, especially considering that he only recently became a tour guide. I highly recommend him for your next food tour!!

Great tour, very personal and highly recommend. It was very nice to try foods that we could not find on our own. Wonderful guides that made us feel safe and comfortable while trying foods that were very local. The scooter ride is really great too as you see a more local side. Good job!

Brilliant tour, even after 6 weeks of eating our way through Vietnam!

My partner and I had a great time on this street food tour! Bob, our guide, was awesome, spoke perfect English, made us laugh and made sure we had fun throughout the 3 hours together. 

We’d already been travelling in Vietnam for six weeks and had eaten loads of Vietnamese food, but we were still surprised by new dishes on the tour. Everything we tried was amazing and super tasty. At the end, Bob gave us a list of recommendations, which has been really helpful for the rest of our time here.

We left very full and very happy. It was great value for money, and I’d highly recommend it!

This tour was amazing!! It was the first thing I did in Vietnam, and I'm so glad. All of the food was incredible, and I left so full and excited to try more! Linh was our tour guide, she was so fun, and incredibly knowledgeable on Vietnamese history and culture, and made the small group tour an awesome first experience in Vietnam. She gave us context for each dish we tried, had so many stories that gave the tour so much depth, and I left with a better understanding of Vietnamese food, history, and tradition! I couldn't recommend this tour more!

We had an incredible time with our guide Linh. She was incredibly knowledgeable and kind, answering all our questions and teaching us so much not only about the food but also about Hanoi and Vietnamese culture. All the food we ate was incredible, at local spots we would have never found ourselves and we tried so many interesting dishes we would have otherwise never got to experience. Thanks so much for a wonderful time!
