Great experience - We had a great tour with Cherry. She was so welcoming and it was very helpful to learn more about the cuisine, which was much more than we were used to getting at home. Cherry also helped us plan many activities throughout our trip in other cities and was so nice throughout. Thank you!

Walking food tour of Hanoi - Cherry is awesome! She is so knowledgeable about Vietnamese culture and food. She helped us Texans navigate the landscape of Vietnamese food. She told us what ingredients were in each dish and made us feel comfortable trying new things. I would highly recommend this tour on your first day in Hanoi. Afterwards you will do much better ordering, eating, & loving Vietnamese food.

Amazing food tour with Cherry - Cherry was an amazing guide! From the very beginning, she was so welcoming and bubbly, making us feel very comfortable straight away. She was super informative and took us to some local spots that we probably wouldn’t have found on our own. I would definitely recommend Cherry and this food tour experience to anyone visiting Hanoi! She will even keep in touch with you after the experience and help with any questions you have!!

The best way to sample Vietnamese food - We have been living in Vietnam for a while, but we've done a few of these trips, especially when we have visitors, as they are an excellent way to see the Old Quarter and to try a range of different foods. This particular tour is no exception. From the start Cherry greeted us with a happy smile and told us what we would be doing, checking for allergies etc. first. We then visited a range of food stalls, which can be changed if you want to try something different. We were very happy with our bun cha, the banh mie, dry pho (I think) and a great session of beer and local rice wine at a local bia hoi, where Cherry taught us the traditional drinking toast in Vietnam ("Anh em oi!! Hai Ba etc.). The range of food is excellent and the choice of restaurant is outstanding. The final deserts were excellent as well. Be warned - don't eat too much at the first place, as you're going to have plenty of food available. I cannot recommend this tour and in particular, Cherry, enough. It's a great experience and will teach you about some of the culture of Vietnam.

Fantastic - Cherry is a fantastic guide -very patient and incredibly knowledgeable about Hanoi and its people. She picked me up at my hotel, and we walked to several spots where we enjoyed delicious street food. I had just arrived in Vietnam that same day around noon and hadn't eaten properly in hours due to the flight. I took the evening tour, and all the food we tried was both tasty and satisfying. Her English is excellent, which made her explanations clear and informative. I'd definitely take the tour again the next time I'm in Hanoi -just for the pleasure of seeing her again and discovering more great places.

Sensational tour with Cherry - I had a small group tour with all fascinating people. Cherry showed us to different places in all small hidden alleys that we couldn’t ever found without her help. She explained all obviously and she has great personality. I highly 100% recommend her tour for everyone visiting Hanoi. Even her city tour is sensational ❤️❤️ Thank you so much again Cherry
