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.
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. 😊

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.

This has been the true highlight in my vietnam experience so far. As a vegetarian, it was a great way to explore Hanoi and the not so obvious vegetarian options that this city has to offer. Cong was a great and very well knowledgeable host. We got to try a huuuge array of dishes. I came to the experience starving and left fully satisfied. I will definitely do this tour again if I return to Hanoi. It has been the staple in my Hanoi experience

나이때가 비슷해서 친구처럼 다니기 좋았습니다 로컬사람들이 어떤 삶을 사는지 어떤 음식들을 먹는지 많이 배웠습니다! 좋은 시간이었습니다. 자기만의 특별한 장소 음식점들을 소개시켜줘서 특별한 경험이었습니다. It was really good time for me to learn about the Vietnamese food and how does local people live. Cong brought me some special places!

Cong was an amazing guide and took us to great locations! He was very friendly and gave us some great locals knowledge that we wouldn’t have found out ourselves. Especially enjoyed the papaya salad! Thanks Cong for a great evening and for showing us how to get back to our hotel afterwards.
