Very local, very authentic
The food tour was great! We all really loved it. A LOT of food and good variety. I enjoyed walking around that part of Hanoi and I think it’s really smart to have one that’s not in the Old Quarter. No other tourists, just real everyday life in Hanoi. Dung was a great guide. Very friendly, very outgoing and patient with my mom.
Eat like the locals eat
An amazing experience – packed full of delicious food and cool insights into tour leader Lan’s local neighbourhood. If you have ever stared at a packed restaurant of locals and wished you knew what to order, this is the tour for you! Lan took us on an adventure through back streets and hidden spots, stopping off to sample a huge variety of local food. There’s something for everyone – rich congee, super-fresh rice paper rolls, spicy snails, banana pudding and …. well you might end up eating something you hadn’t bargained for! The tour is well-paced with just enough walking to help digest the latest delicacy. Lan and her team are funny and great story-tellers. Our best experience in Hanoi. Highly recommended!
