If you want to truly taste Hanoi, this experience takes you beyond the tourist spots into the real food, real places, and real stories locals live every day.
Taste the dishes locals actually love — not what tourists usually find.
About This Tour
Hanoi is not just something you see. It is something you taste.
This experience takes you beyond the usual places and into the real food culture of Hanoi, where locals eat every day.
From phở and bún chả to carefully selected local specialties, each stop is chosen from places we personally trust for their quality and authenticity.
You will walk through hidden streets, sit down like a local, and discover not only how the food tastes, but how it fits into everyday life in Hanoi.

My girlfriend and I did the walking tour today and we absolutely loved it. From start to finish the guide was full of energy, super engaging and made the whole tour so fun. One of the best parts was going for beers together at the end. Great experience that I would highly recommend to anyone.

We had a great time as the guide showed us around Hanoi explaining the culture and customs. Very knowledgeable and passionate about Vietnam. Brought us to a few very local places that we would not have found on our own. Definitely a unique and worthwhile experience.

The guide was amazing and did a wonderful job of not only showing me sites on my morning tour but also helping me better understand Vietnamese culture. A wonderful energetic personality which is an important characteristic in a tour guide. Great experience!
