Eat your way into a delicious sleep coma - Minh was incredibly kind and accommodating, allowing me to reserve a slot in her tour on incredibly short notice. There was room for tailoring the tour to our preferences, which I appreciated, as it meant that those who knew exactly what they wanted to try could make their requests. Each stop was accompanied by great information such as the history of the food, how it was meant to be eaten etc., and at the end of the tour, she sent us messages with the names of the items we'd tried as well as the addresses for the establishments where we'd gotten them. Thanks to her, I'm now obsessed with kumquat ice tea and summer rolls.

Astounding food tour - I could not recommend this enough, all the food was delicious and worth the try - we visited local places which as a tourist you’d never think to go to but now they are places I want to go back to! Minh is super friendly and social! She is also very accommodating if you have any allergies or are a little picky - everyone in our group loved the dishes even if they were super exotic at times

10/10 experience! - The best way to taste the flavours of Hanoi in 2 hours. Come hungry, curious and open-mind. Minh openly shares about the foods, cultures and life in Vietnam. From the savoury, sweet, to sour and more, this enriching experience is an amazing investment to your Hanoi itinerary.

Customized, Detailed, Attentive. - Minh was an absolute jem. She was attentive to our needs as we were traveling with 2 children and offered flexibility. Communication was not an issue and she was always quick to respond to our queries from first contact all the way to our departure from Hanoi. She was extremely knowledgeable, sharing the history of the cuisine, the stall, country/city and her views about the future for the nation - it was all very insightful! We engaged her for the Food Tour, Ninh Binh and Ha Long Bay.

Hanoi Street Food Tour - We had a great time with Minh as she introduced us to some very local Vietnamese dishes. She was extremely knowledgeable and shared things with us that we would not have found or known about on our own. Just a note that if you are coming solo or just with another person, it was quite a lot of food!

Great food tour with informative guide - This food tour was great and we had a lovely time visiting 7 different places in Hanoi’s old quarter. It was great chatting with Minh and she really tailored the dishes we tired based on our interests and likes. Minh was very informative and friendly and I would recommend this tour to anyone!

Amazing food - Minh is absolutely amazing! This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. She took us to so many delicious spots, each with its own unique flavor and local charm. I never thought I’d enjoy eel, but Minh changed my mind and now I love it! We tried so many dishes we never would have discovered on our own, and Minh made the experience fun, informative, and super tasty. If you’re in Hanoi, don’t miss the chance to take a tour with him. Highly recommended!

Best start to a trip! - Amazing start to our trip! We got to experience a Hanoi we’d have never found on our own - in places we probably would have not even seen. The food was incredible, and Minh was the best combination of relaxed and organised. She is a natural host and makes a point of supporting local. Loved the coconut ice cream and dry chicken noodles, as well as the chats! Fun group too. It’s a no brainer to do this tour, even if you’re a little unsure whether you’ll like all the different textures and flavours. Minh will look after you!

A must do when visiting Hanoi - Logan had to step in at the last minute. Mihn was very apologetic that she couldn’t make it because her daughter was unwell. Logan was brilliant. A very pleasant young man who speaks excellent English. His tour was great fun and a really good experience which as a tourist you couldn’t do on your own. Highly recommended
