We ( family of 4) did the vegetarian street food tour w Jasmine. Amazing day. Great food as well as loads of information / history about Hanoi. We loved it. Jasmine was great and gave us so many tips for Hanoi , going above and beyond ! You won’t regret this tour.
Our two guides were SO incredibly nice and lovely, it was our first day it Asia at all, we were jetlagged as can be and still had such a good time.
We are very thankful. They even provided some locations after the tour.
Absolute recommendation, maybe even the first thing when you arrive (as we did), so you know more about the city.
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.

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.

My partner and I had a good experience. Diep is really good at storytelling and great fun. We had loads of food (definitely come hungry) and saw a brilliant range of different different places and hidden corners around the Old Quarter

A nice vegetarian tour

As a vegan, I wanted to take this tour to learn where I could eat in Hanoi. The tour ended being a wonderful way to learn about the Hanoi food scene in general & thus very helpful (I think) for anyone. I really appreciated being able to get an authentic food experience of Hanoi while knowing I was getting vegan food. Cong was very personable and shared with us stories about the different vendors we visited. Definitely not something we could have done on our end as we learned about all of the “secret” (to tourists anyway) places to go to get good food. After the tour we also got a list of the places we went. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hanoi & go on your first day there as you can as it’s such an invaluable learning experience. We learned everything from how to spot a good place to eat, to how to cross the street to where to get actual local Hanoi beer & why the percentage (of the beer) is low. Don’t hesitate to book this one.

we didnt expect the food to be that much, it’s actually really filling. Diep, the guide, was good and taught us a lot about Vietnamese culture and street knowledge. would recommend this if you want a unique experience

We had a great time with Diep – he was funny, open minded and a curious conversation partner. The food was great as well… but the experience was all about the people – thank you! PS: The weather was not the best, but I couldn‘t care less 🙂
