This tour was amazing from start to finish. I’ll admit I’m not normally a tour person but walking around the streets of Hanoi tasting the amazing vegan options the city has to offer was like an evening out with a friend. Vu is an excellent storyteller and shares his passion of food and his country so beautifully. The food is incredible and visiting local spots means short conversations with locals too. I would say if you love vegan food and local life, this tour is a must do when you visit Hanoi - thank you Vu!
Show up hungry - I went on the same evening as another solo traveller so we shared everything and it was still a lot of (great) food. What makes it 5 stars for me is that it isn't just eating - its the information sharing in between restaurants - we learned a lot!
The tour with Kien and An was really nice.
They showed us corners of the old town that we would probably never have seen alone.
The choice of food was also great and we went home full. We always learned a little bit about the history of each restaurant and the food, which we really liked.
Kien and An are super personable and nice. We had a lot of fun together and would recommend the tour 100%.
Best regards, Flo & Natalie
We had a really cool afternoon and ate super delicious. The atmosphere was super relaxed, we felt like we were traveling with friends, learned a lot and had fun. I can only recommend to anyone!
Had a great time with Vu and Rose 🙂 they took us to some great local food places and customised it based on our requirements. Also great conversation and insights into the local culture. Highly recommended.
This tour was the highlight of my trip to the Northern Vietnam. Kien is friendly, hospitable and helpful.
Not only we went to different places and tried out a lot of unique dishes but also immersed ourselves in many interesting stories of the ancient city told by our guide.
100% recommend this tour
Die Tour mit Vu war sehr schön und abwechslungsreich. Vu ist ein sehr sympathischer und netter Guide, der geduldig alle Fragen beantwortet und gerne mit allen im Austausch ist. Neben dem Essen hat er uns viele spannende Geschichten und Infos über die vietnamesische Kultur erzählt. Man sollte wirklich viel Hunger mitbringen, da es rund 7 Gänge hab und die Portionen zwar zum Teilen, aber sehr groß waren. Wir würden die Tour auf jeden Fall sofort wieder machen und weiterempfehlen, da wir für unseren nächsten Tag auch noch viele Tipps bzgl. Essen und Restaurants bekommen haben. 😊
Absolutely must do experience!! I had such an amazing time learning about Vietnam, about Hanoi, about the food and seeing the city! Vu was extremely kind and such a welcoming person to have a conversation with!! 😊 😊 And of course the food was really 100000 points amazing!!! Again, would really recommend anyone to book this!!!

Easier
Vegan and vegetarian food and drinks
For guests who eat meat, many food tours have a lot of dishes to pick from. But it’s not always easy for vegetarians to find a food tour that fits their diet. That’s why we make sure that everyone can have a great food tour experience, no matter what they eat. We make it easy too, by giving vegetarian-friendly options so everyone can have a great time.
More than 10+ locations
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.

Vy was an incredible host who took us to eat amazing vegetarian food. We ate at some very hidden places that we would not have been able to find alone. I reccomend doing this tour early on your visit to Hanoi so you can return to your favourite food stops later

The best part of the Vegan Food Tour in Ha Noi was MINH! She was such a delight to hang out with and we walked away wanting to be bff 🙂 She had PERFECTLY clear English, a refreshing sense of humor and honesty, and interesting tidbits to add about the city of Ha Noi and its special cuisine. We went to a myriad of food spots, places we would have never thought to visit (especially as vegans!), and they were indeed gems of street food! Would definitely recommend this tour and hopefully you’ll get lucky and get paired with Minh like my husband and I did 🙂 I should also add it was a brutally HOT and humid day, and ended in rain, and Minh was very accommodating – especially it was our very first day in Vietnam!

The street food tour ruined any meal we tried after, it was that good. Kien was a great guide, and I’m certain this tour will be one of the highlights of our trip to Vietnam.

Kien is an amazing guide. He has fluent English from time overseas combined with an excellent local knowledge. He took us to authentic street food outlets and everything was veganised perfectly. He was great company and made for an enjoyable and memorable afternoon
