Overview

This is more than a food tour — it’s a chef-led journey into Hanoi’s real food culture. Hosted by a local chef, this experience combines authentic street flavors, hidden food spots, and the stories behind the dishes that shape Hanoi’s culinary identity. You’ll explore vibrant markets, tucked-away alleys, and local gathering places while tasting carefully selected specialties based on your preferences and pace. From traditional noodle dishes and grilled bites to local desserts and Vietnamese coffee, every stop is designed to feel personal and authentic. Unlike standard group tours, this is a private and flexible experience — ideal for food lovers, curious travelers, couples, and anyone wanting to experience Hanoi beyond the guidebooks. Optional cyclo rides and premium add-ons are also available.

  • Not included: Extra dishes or beverages outside of the set menu are not included.
