👉 Why this tour is unique???“Cong was an amazing tour guide who brought us to eat authentic Vietnamese dishes that we otherwise would not have known to enjoy. He is very thoughtful in the design of the tour and also provided history and context to all the places we visited. Must do in Hanoi!” – Tina, October 2022

“This was a fantastic tour with Thuy! She was very personable, it felt like hanging out with a friend who was taking care of everything, more than a tour. She was easy-going but very organised, and took us to so many places that we would never have found. We ate way more food than we expected, and it was all paid for as part of the tour, so make sure you are hungry. The best beef noodle salad and Banh mi ever! They pick places they know are clean and safe for traveler bellies, we ate everything with no upsets. Strongly recommend.

“I highly recommend this tour! Thuy was an amazing host, treating us like a friend and making us feel so welcome. My vegetarian diet was catered for without feeling like I was missing out on anything, I even had to skip a dish because there was so much food! The team have lots of different food stalls/types of food to cover so can cater to any preferences. They also give you a list of recommendations after which was amazing, anything you didn’t get round trying you can go to on your own the next day or revist somewhere you really liked. We thought this was a really thoughtful touch.
” – Amy, October 2022

Five Reasons Why the OneTrip Food Tasting Tour Is Unique
If you’re visiting Hanoi, having a local friend to show you around on the first day is the best way to get the most out of your trip. Here are five reasons why our Hanoi food walking tour is so special:
Explore Local Foods while discovering Cuisines & History
Go on a OneTrip food-tasting tour and find dishes that are only known by locals, not the typical tourist spots. Try the special tastes and learn about the culture through its food! Our Experience Host on the food-tasting tour knows a lot about the different types of food and can tell you about their history and culture. This makes the experience even more interesting.
Food notes and places-to-go-after-this at the end of the tour
Need help remembering all the names and addresses of the dishes we have? No worries, we will give you the food notes and recommendations by the end of the tour. So, you can always come back anytime; even better, you will know how to order your favorite dishes in Vietnamese!
Small group
The maximum group size is 8 people (though usually, we have 4-6 participants). Smaller groups make it easier to explore hidden gems, ask the host questions, and engage in meaningful conversations about history and politics. This is not possible with larger tour groups.
Help local businesses and young people!
Join the OneTrip food-tasting tour to give local businesses a much-needed boost. Our hosts are all young, passionate individuals who are eager to share their knowledge and love of food with you.
We have EXCELLENT reviews on TripAdvisor and Airbnb Experience
We are proud of our hard work to provide outstanding food-tasting experiences, as evidenced by our 230 excellent reviews on TripAdvisor and 120 five-star ratings on Airbnb. Experience the unique flavors of the area and support local businesses at the same time.
Sign up for the tour and start your journey! We’ll offer a variety of tastes, flavors, cultural influences, and cooking techniques through small plates and the right beverages (local beer, sugarcane juice, and ice lemonade tea). All this while discovering hidden corners of the city.

Really amazing experience to immerse yourself with Vietnam’s culture. Quang was a great storyteller and toured us around in spots that we wouldn’t have found on our own.

My partner and I would highly recommend this tour, we had a great time with Vũ our guide. He showed us some of the really cool local food spots serving delicious Vietnamese food and also gave us great information and insight about Vietnamese history and people. We were shown the indoor restaurants, the outside seating places and also got to try food from the people walking the streets while they cook. If you enjoy trying new food and exploring cities I would definitely recommend this tour as a way to get to know Hanoi and it's people.

Hi John,
This is Cong from OneTrip with the local team.
Yes, absolutely! The food tour offers a vegan option for every course, so you can still enjoy all of the delicious food while your friends enjoy their regular meals. We can also make suggestions on where to eat afterward if you want to explore other vegan-friendly options. Additionally, our tour guides are knowledgeable about the vegan menu items available at each stop.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
Best,
OneTrip with local team.

We loved this tour! Our guide, Vu, was kind, knowledgeable and fun to be around. The food was spectacular, but the highlight was getting to learn about Hanoi and Vietnam from such a personable and well informed guide. Would recommend to anyone!
