Great informative and tasty tour! - We had a great tour with Jennifer. She was really enthusiastic and knowledgeable not only giving us information about coffee, but also about life in Hanoi and Vietnam.
She is clearly passionate about what she does.
She was also really accommodating of the non-coffee drinker and there are plenty of other options: juices, smoothies and highly recommended cold chocolate!!
We really appreciated her tip for a 'secret' coffee shop that wasn't on the agenda and we went back and had a lovely coffee admiring the fantastic view of the lake.
Thank you, Jennifer! :)

BEST COFFEE TOUR IN HANOI - Nick was a star, he was super friendly and showed us some amazing coffee spots. The coffee was delicious and he made a lot of effort being super friendly and chatty.
I'm super caffeinated right now because we've just finished the tour and had 5 coffees in 4 stops. We tried lime coffee, milk coffee, egg coffees and finished with two pour overs.
The egg coffee was especially nice and he showed us a really authentic place for it.
He also sent me about a million recommendations of stuff to do in Hanoi. Thanks Nick :))))

Thank you Nick!! - A wonderful and informative coffee tour lead by Nick. Nick is friendly and funny with his previous experience as a barista to help explain all.
A great tour and explaining the difference in architecture as well as history of the different districts. Got to taste 5 different coffee types including the most popular coffees.
His knowledge of the coffee is great as you learn between typical western coffee to the traditional Vietnamese.
Nick is a wonderful tour guide! Would recommend his tour to anyone coming to Hanoi!

Meet the Quiet Miracle in Hanoi - Our guide, May, had a calm voice that perfectly matched the old streets. Walk through French colonial buildings, listen to legends by the lake, and quietly savour fragrant coffee in small cafes in alleyways. It was like being in a story. If you want to relax and enjoy the culture as a couple, this is the perfect experience.
