“Absolutely a MUST to do.Thin our guide was so knowledgeable in the local cuisine. He took us to 5 restaurants, starting with the first being the appetiser and the last being desert. One of the highlights was taking a detour through the 24 hour flower market and discovering how silk was made from the stem of a lotus flower. Our guide was so knowledgeable and made sure that all our needs were catered for. My family has said so far the best tour they've had in Vietnam. If you get to go in this tour ask for Thin”

“We highly recommend this tour. It was pouring rain when the tour was scheduled to begin, but Grace offered to delay as long as needed to begin after rain if we desired. Very accommodating. We decided to take a chance and use the provided rain ponchos. But the time we got the ponchos on, the rain slowed considerably. By the time we arrived at the first stop, the rain ended. I believe there were about 6 stops with 10 dishes total. They were all delicious and it was difficult to rate which was best. We had been in Vietnam for about a week with another street food tour in Hanoi…”

Though we booked a small group tour, we were accompanied by another couple that split off from us with their own guide: we had Andy all to ourself! He was wonderfully friendly and authentic, and his conversation and knowledge made the day a happy memory of our trip to Portugal. Highly recommended!”

“We have done food tours all over Europe and the US. This one was just not as up to par as any of the others. Our guide was very informative and gave us lots of history, so that was very nice. However as a food tour it was rather bleh! WE booked a private food tour. We went to two restaurants with roughly 5-6 bite sized tastes at each place. That would have been ok but it was literally 5 or so tastes, split between four of us. With our past tours, we each had our own bites. Do you know how hard it is to cut a bruschetta in…”
