A truly wonderful experience. - My 17 year old daughter and I really enjoyed our tour with Huy and Kenny. They were both very kind, knowledgeable, and generous. We got to explore parts of Hanoi we wouldn’t have otherwise seen, learn a lot about the history of Hanoi and Vietnam, try local delicacies, and share in great conversation. We especially loved riding on the back of scooters through the bustling traffic with confident drivers! So much fun!!

See the city at night and sample great local spots. - Had a blast on this night tour. I wanted to see the city but didn't want to deal with the heat , so the night tour was perfect Patrick was right on time and knew a lot about the city and country's history, culture, local cuisine and was knowledgeable in general. We went to several food spots and local parks/lakes/mausoleum. The food was exactly what I was looking for. Great local spots I never would've found on my own. Patrick showed me how to prepare my meal adding this and that to make it just right. The tour was great and in addition to the food I enjoyed chatting it up with Patrick and learning more about the Vietnamese culture and way of life. If you're looking for a tour of the city, good conversation and good food, have Patrick show you around .

Top notch exceptional food tour - I have never really enjoyed tours on my vacations, preferring to set my own agenda and find places on my own. However in Hanoi this month I decided to try a motorbike food tour and it changed the way I view tours. Lucky was my tour guide and he was exceptional. From the start he was friendly and polite, making me feel at ease and comfortable. We talked first about my interests and I shared with him about my food allergies and set off. We started off with some sightseeing of landmarks and history of the city. His historical, cultural, and architectural knowledge was deep and insightful. He shared about the development of architectural styles pointing out different features of the buildings (something I appreciated because of my interest in design). Next up was the food. I consider myself adventurous when it comes to food and Lucky did not disappoint. He selected some truly authentic places to enjoy local favorites that were both new to me and introduced ingredients and flavor combinations I hadn’t experienced before. The food was delicious and authentic. What made this tour and Lucky stand out above any other guide I’ve met is the attention to detail he gave the eating experience. He introduced each dish and then walked me through the process of how to eat it to experience the flavors in layers in steps. I’ve always enjoyed trying new foods, but have never stopped to consider the actual process of enjoying a meal to discover and appreciate the complex layers of flavors. We also enjoyed some great new drinks with fruits I haven’t heard of before and some local desserts that caught my attention and taste buds. All guides I’ve ever had on tours either talked no stop or lectured without really engaging the audience. Lucky did neither, he had a conversation with me throughout the evening. He spoke and listened, making sure the tour fit my interests. This is what made it the best tour ever for me. I didn’t feel I was being talked to or lectured at. He took meticulous care of making sure the food met my dietary needs for my allergies and took care to follow all safety precautions as we walked and rode around. I enjoyed the tour so much that I booked a second tour with him and his company for the following evening. If you want a truly exceptional tour, with authentic foods, comfortable conversation and a genuine view of Hanoi , then Lucky and this food tour are a right for for you.

Great tour from our guides Long and Huy - This was easily one of the best tours I have done in Vietnam. Having two local guides Long and Huy drive us around Hanoi was fascinating, as they provided a local perspective and took us for some incredible street food. I cannot reccomend this tour highly enough.

Great tour with delicious food - This was a really enjoyable tour given by two local guides Long and Huy, both of whom were very knowledgeable about all of the best local food spots as well as having interesting discussions about Vietnamese culture more broadly. This was 100% worth doing and definitely showcased parts of Hanoi that we would have never seen otherwise.

Huy is the man! - Huy picked me up from my hotel on his Vespa and took me all over the city to taste his favorite foods! He was really knowledgeable, and just a nice easy going guy. We had some good conversations and he told me all about Hanoi and Vietnamese culture/history. This tour is a great way to see the city and to experience being on a moped in Hanoi. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
