Great gluten free food tour - Great experience - had a lot of good food and learned a lot. I have a gluten allergy, and Lyna was great about finding places where I would be safe. Definitely recommend — especially for people with gluten intolerances!

Best decision ever - We had the best time with our Guide Haiyan. It’s our First Asian Trip since our son got disgnosed with celiac disease and we have been worried a lot in advance. Haiyan showed us the best places and also had a great knowledge of the history of Vietnam. We loved every Minute. Thank you so much!

- A true highlight of our time in Hanoi. Travelling with celiac disease (needing gluten free food) never felt safer in Alex’s hands. Not only that but all the food was excellent - and we returned to several places later in our stay. You can tell that Alex is a true foodie and enjoys sharing his love of Vietnamese food. Loads of variation in both food and locations.
Really enjoyable and knowledgeable company for the evening - highly recommended whether GF or not.

Great Gluten free food tour!! - 5 star experience! Hải Yến was an excellent tour guide and took me and my partner to many different places. She catered to my gluten intolerance very well! It was amazing to learn about the culture of Vietnam as well as eat amazing local food. This experience was very helpful to gain some insight into places that are safe to eat during my time in Vietnam. 100% recommend!!

Must do Gluten free food tour - My husband and I did the gluten free food tour with Alex and it was amazing! Alex made sure to find a variety of traditional foods with gluten free options and gluten containing options for my husband. We enjoyed our evening with Alex learning about the culture and history of Vietnam in addition to the food. Cannot recommend Alex and his tour enough, highly recommend !!!

Hanoi authentic food tour and amazing guide. - I found nom nom travel about a month prior to our trip out to Vietnam as I wanted to have some experiences already booked and organised. I was a little apprehensive to put my trust in Alex ( our tour organiser) through social media but I need not have been worried.
Communication was excellent from first contact. All of my questions were answered in a friendly professional way which only left me with feelings of excitement for our tour and looking forward to meeting Alex.
Alex messaged us the day before our Vietnamese food tour of Hanoi taking care of any stresses of meeting up. It was made sure that we did not have any intolerance or allergies for our tour and Alex made note of what we did and did not like to eat. This ment every stop we made we were not uncomfortable that we might be presented with food we did not like.
Alex gave a detailed plan of where he was taking us on the 3 hour tour and what foods we would be able to try. He gave background information on the restaurants/cafes for example one place has been awarded a Michelin star for it's food. Alex explained in detail each dish we tried, ingredients origin and how it was cooked. My favourite dish was the papaya and beef jerky salad and my husband enjoyed the barbequed pork belly in honey and sesame but we absolutely enjoyed all the food. As I have a sweet tooth it was a real treat to end the tour in a popular Vietnamese dessert cafe. Alex chatted comfortably to us the whole time and even showed us the way to train street and a speak easy bar following the tour.
Going above and beyond expectations he even arranged to take my husband fishing the following day as he was unsure where to go. We learnt a good deal of knowledge about Vietnamese culture while with him which I truly think we would have missed out on if we had not met Alex. We can now return to Britain and share this knowledge with our family and friends.
If your looking for an authentic , affordable,genuine and unforgettable experience tasting the real flavor of Hanoi, I can not recommend NomNom travel enough. So much so I will be putting my trust in him again to help organize our return trip to Vietnam. 🌟✨ Thank you for the memories Alex ✨🌟

Highly recommended - This was a real highlight of our trip. Alex was a knowledgeable and fun guide. He catered for my gluten free and seafood allergy really well. We went to 8 Street food restaurants in the Old Quarter and felt like we really saw the true Hanoi. Highly recommended.

Gluten free revolution - Backpacking whilst coeliac means often feeling left out of authentic eating experiences - but not here, this tour was revolutionary. It was fantastic to sample such a stunning array of local dishes (eel porridge, beef salad, tapioca dumplings to name a few) all safe in the knowledge they were gluten free. Alex has curated a fantastic tour here, his knowledge is indispensable, and for any coeliac / gluten free person travelling to Hanoi it is a must do.
