We have eaten (and cooked) a lot of Vietnamese food but this tour opened our eyes to some very different dishes and all absolutely delicious. Doris was a wonderful guide. Bubbly and vivacious she was a delight to be around. I think we now have a friend in Vietnam x

tasting Hanoi's iconic dishes

I got to try legendary dishes like pho, banh mi, and bun cha, each made fresh right in front of me. But the real surprise was egg coffee - creamy, sweet, and unlike anything I had ever tasted before. The guide took me to hidden gems I would have never found on my own.

A delicious adventure through Hanoi's streets

Exploring Hanoi's street food scene on a private half-day tour was a feast for the senses. From the moment we stepped into the bustling Old Quarter, the smell of sizzling meats, fresh herbs, and aromatic broths filled the air. Each stop introduced me to a new local favorite, and every bite told a story of tradition and culture.
