We got to try out a lot of dishes that were more commonly eaten by the local, and we also walked through the hidden alleyway and saw some of the housing due to history(which was one of the main highlights for me.)
I had a great time with Kien! It was just me so it felt like a tour with a friend. Although it was a food tour I also learned a lot about Vietnamese history and culture, which was my goal.
The food was also delicious and unique (to me). Halfway through I was so full, I could barely eat more but we still trekked on and he made sure I got to at least taste everything. I even went home with leftovers. Definitely go HUNGRY.
This tour was a great way to get introduced to the Old Quarter. Plus I loved learning that this company does their best to give back to the community. I definitely recommend!
I highly recomend this tour ! Cong is greate guide, he know pleaces where owners makes their food for generations (And he allso know that owners :p) He ll show you temples hiden on quiet streets just neext to common rush of Hanoi 🙂 He knows a lot of stories and you can talk with Him about every topic 🙂 5 star tour !!!
Amazing tour! One of the best food tours I have taken. Angelina was very friendly and made us feel welcome from the start of the tour. We ate several different dishes throughout Hanoi and she explained some of the cultural and economic landscape of the city. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re unfamiliar with Vietnamese food and want to try some different options.
This was a great experience for us as it was our first full day in Hanoi! The guide, Minh, was so friendly and brought us to many many yummy food places! The food was really suited to our tastes 💕 we even went back a few days later!
I had the delightful opportunity to embark on Cong's Night Food Tour in Hanoi, and it was nothing short of a gastronomic revelation. The tour takes you on a journey through the bustling streets of Hanoi at night, showcasing the vibrant food scene that this city is famous for. Must try if you are in Hanoi!
A fun experience where we tried many kinds of items we would have missed otherwise, like the chicken with sticky rice and local beer. I was also fascinated by the living conditions of the old quarter's residents. Our guide also chatted with us about local culture. There's an itinerary so it might feel a bit stiff at times, but it was good overall.

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
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.
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!
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.
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 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.

I had such a good time on my tour! I was shown around to so many places that I would not have known about! A very personal experince I would recommend to anyone!
The tour was incredibly considerate which made for a tailored experience for the individual. There is a purposeful flow which helped explore the flavours of the old quartet very well, and several easy-to-locate places for your favourite dishes from the your and more!
Hi team!
I hope you are well.
I was wondering if I can attend the Hanoi Street Food & Hidden Path tour if I am allergic to gluten and need gluten free dishes? Thank you!
@Edie: Hi Edie,
Thanks so much for reaching out! We’d love to host you!
Absolutely, we can definitely host you on the tour. A lot of fantastic Vietnamese food is naturally gluten-free since it's rice-based, so you'll have plenty of delicious options to enjoy. We will take a note for the host so she/he will make sure that the foods are safe for you. However please be aware that some options like banh ran (local doughnuts) are not gluten-free but the host will let you know.
Looking forward to sharing the flavors of Hanoi with you!
Warm regards,
Cong
Hi Cong,
how are you?
I had a question, how many people are in the groups on average?
Best,
Kevin
Hello, good day!
My name is Issac, and I have just booked the Hanoi Food Walking Tour with you for Oct 7. Could you please confirm the meeting point? Is it at 72 Hang Bac Street? Thank you!
Hi,
Are the food portions large, and how many stops will we have for food so we can be prepared?
Hello Bill,
Thanks for reaching out!
We try about 8-9 local dishes, but there are also many hidden spots to explore. We will have a good time walking around, so there's no need to worry about getting too full. While some dishes are larger, there are also small doughnuts and drinks available.
Thanks again and look forward to hosting you.
Best,
Hello,
I'm a vegan and my friends are not vegetarians. Can we all go on the food walking tour together?
Thank you.
John
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 took the 2pm local food tour with Pinky, who was an excellent guide on a hot, humid July afternoon. She was patient, friendly and knowledgeable. My husband and I were the only ones on the tour (think other people were smart enough to book a morning or evening tour when the heat and humidity were less intense). The silver lining was that it was like going around with a friend. Pinky spoke excellent English so communication was easy. She brought us to plenty of local eating places that we wouldn’t have found on our own. This was helpful, as we then had a better idea of what was available and how to order the local food. We were very full after the tour. Pinky explained local customs, answered questions and provided a local’s perspective on Hanoi. It was a good experience and highly recommended.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful and detailed review!
We are so glad to hear that Pinky was an excellent guide for you, especially on a hot and humid July afternoon. It’s fantastic that the private tour felt like exploring Hanoi with a friend—that’s the best kind of “silver lining”!
We’re thrilled she introduced you to local spots you wouldn’t have found on your own and that her perspective was helpful for understanding our food and culture.
We have passed your kind words on to Pinky. Thank you again for the high recommendation!

We had an exceptional time on the Hanoi Street Food and Hidden Path tour with our guide Pinky. The food was delicious and we tried things we never would have before or understood what to order. Pinky is a true local and is passionate about sharing authentic culture of Hanoi. Her English is fantastic and she is very knowledgeable. We unexpectedly had the tour to ourselves. Fantastic value for money.

I loved the tour with Ha Vy. I discovered a lot of delicious food I would never have tried by myself. Surprisingly delicious food that offen came with a story. I had a great time and would really recommend to anyone to go on the Tour.

We had a fabulous time with Vy last night exploring the streets of the old quarter and tasting as we went. Vy was a delight – it was like sharing the evening with our Daughter. Not only did she take us to best places to eat, but she was also happy to tell us about her life in Hanoi and her culture as well. We tried lots of new food and learnt some tips along the way about eating in Hanoi.
