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%.

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.

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. 😊

Locals guide
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!
Easier
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
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.

Good day to yous,
Is everything included in the tour cost? Do I need to bring extra cash just in case?
Hi team,
So in our group of 4, only 2 are vegans, the other 2 require lactose intolerance and gluten free diet. Is it possible to meet all of our requirement? Sorry for the hassle, thanks in advance!
Hi Karen,
Thanks for reaching out!
We have been hosting mixed groups for a while now, where two friends are vegan and the rest of the group are meat eaters. We will take you to local restaurants that offer options for everyone, so please join us.
We all look forward to seeing you!
Hi team,
We would like to book a private group for the vegan food walking tour at 9 AM, as we have something planned for the evening. Is this possible for our group of five?
We are really excited about it! Thank you!

Yến, our guide, was very kind and open minded. To gain more details about Hanoi’s respectively Vietnam’s culture, dishes and histories were really interesting. I can recommend this tour with her to 100%. Cám ơn Yến!😊

Yen took us to the best spots to try a variety of vegan food. She not only explained us about the food culture but she also gave us insights into Hanoi city, its people. She is extremely charming and intelligent woman and I enjoyed every bit of myself on the tour. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !
Hollie verified
Nice tour – we enjoyed learning a little bit about the city and the food was good. Our guide was really friendly too. I would however like a list of those places we visited and the name of the dishes sent to us afterwards. Also would be good to have back up options when one of the dishes isn’t available as we didn’t get the bahn mi.

Hi Hollie,
Thank you for joining us on this experience. We hope you are feeling better.
We have discussed the situation with the host to improve the overall experience. Typically, we send guests a list of the food we tried during the tour at the end, so they can revisit the dishes they enjoyed. Please note that we were very flexible in rescheduling the tour at the last minute.
Thank you once again, and we look forward to hosting you again.
Best regards,
Cong, Quang, Kien and Vu

I really enjoyed this food tour. Cong brought the group to so many food locations all over the old town of Hanoi. Everything we tried was fantastic. Along with trying vietnamese vegetarian food, you get to hear the history of the town and see many fabulous hidden locations. Cong is such a good host. He is full of knowledge and enthusiasm. I highly recommend this tour.
