Frequently Asked Questions

Regarding Hanoi food tours, we and previous guests recommend booking them at the start of your stay, especially if it’s your first time in Vietnam. During our walking tours, we’ll provide you with lots of information about the places we explore, as well as the surrounding areas. We’ll also share some secret places to visit nearby. Many of our guests go back to the neighborhoods we visit to eat at their favorite tour spot or to discover new places we suggest.

Sometimes it rains, the wind blows, and even typhoons hit Hanoi, Vietnam. But since 2018, when we started our Hanoi food tours, we’ve never canceled one because of bad weather!
Rain and wind won’t keep us from discovering Vietnamese food and culture. What could be better than having a bowl of traditional noodles on a cool day with friends?
Before you come, check the weather and dress accordingly. If it’s raining, the tasting will be indoors, but you’ll need an umbrella when we walk from place to place.

In Hanoi, we can easily reach temperatures of more than 40ºC (104ºF) in July and August, which can make walking in the city unpleasant for some. To overcome this situation we also host sunset and nightfall food tours starting at 18h (6 PM) for guests who wish to avoid hot temperatures or to have a different experience that combines, day and night.
Plus this will give us the opportunity to provide you with some great local tips on what to do in Hanoi to beat the heat, namely our Hanoi Museum tour.
