The tour was really good but what it made a huge difference was Thea and her knowledge about Hanoi’s Old Quarter. It was more than a food tour, it was a cultural experience. Thank you, Thea!! Will definitely recommend it!!
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!

Overview
While trying the best street dishes in Hanoi, you’ll also get to learn about the history and everyday life of local people. We’ll talk about the history of Vietnam during French colonization and the Vietnam War. Plus, we’ll explore some hidden spots with exciting stories in the Old Quarter.
Trusted by customers
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.
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.

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. 😊
Hi. We’d like to book a tour later this month. We’re a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children - aged 9 & 3). Do children pay full price? Thanks. Martin
Hello, I'm interested in the vegetarian food tour, is it possible to add on the train street?
@Amber: Xin chào Amber,
Thanks so much for your interest! The vegetarian food tour doesn’t include Train Street, but it ends nearby. We feature Train Street as part of a different tour, which we’d be happy to share with you if you’re interested: https://onetripwithlocal.com/tour/stories-from-vietnam-war-at-not-to-go-alone-areas

Good day to yous,
Is everything included in the tour cost? Do I need to bring extra cash just in case?
Dear Janet,
Thank you for reaching out!
Yes, all of the costs are included in the price. However, it is recommended to bring some cash, just in case you need to make any additional purchases.
All the best,
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!
Hi Madison,
This is Cong from OneTrip with the local team. Thank you for your interest.
Yes, you are more than welcome to book a private tour with us. Please send us the details to our email address: onetripwithlocal@gmail.com. We'll send you a confirmation shortly.
We look forward to your visit.

Xin chào Lucila,
We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and that Thea made such a big difference with her knowledge of the Old Quarter. It means a lot to know it felt like a real cultural experience, not just a food tour. Thanks so much for the recommendation.

We love the idea of the tour, and the tour guides were extremely nice and fun. However, the tour guides did not speak great English and shared little information on the food, places, or history.

Xin chào Levy,
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We’re really sorry to hear that the experience did not fully meet your expectations. Sharing local stories, history, and cultural insight is the core of our tours, so we truly appreciate you pointing this out.
We’d like to share that this was Trang’s first time hosting a larger group of seven guests, and she was understandably a bit nervous. Since then, we’ve been working closely with her, pairing her with more experienced hosts so she can improve group communication and storytelling for future guests.
Thank you again for your understanding and feedback. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back and offer you a much better experience next time.
Thân mến,
Onetrip With Local Travel Company.

This was such a lovely way to spend our first afternoon in Hanoi! We met up with Pinky and Phuong and they were just the perfect hosts. They could tell us A LOT about not only the food, but also about the history and culture of this beautiful country. She even taught us some Vietnamese words and we had really fun conversations with them! All the vegan stops we visited are included in the recommendation Pinky made and we will definitely visit some stops again.

The tour and the food was awesome. The tour guide Pinky was so full of energy and excitement, she shared a lot of her own recommendations and stories which made the tour more unique. It never felt rushed and we took our time to enjoy each place and each dish, would highly recommend for anyone wanting to explore the old quarter and try some food!
