Street Food Walking Tour - Huy was the perfect tour guide for our introduction to Vietnamese street food.
His knowledge of the local cuisine and the Old Quarter is excellent. Huy made sure our dietary requirements were met. We were introduced to egg coffee as well as the local beer and sticky rice & coconut ice cream which were all very delicious.
Huy made the evening very enjoyable due to his pleasant and personable nature. I highly recommend Ha Food Tours.

Delicious food with Chris, an amazing guide - As a family of 4, we booked Ha Food Tours at fairly short notice having seen the great reviews on YouTube and TripAdvisor and weren't disappointed. Chris picked us up from our hotel on 4 July and took us on a superb walking tour around the food joints of Hanoi old town. Not only did we have some amazing authentic food from several family businesses but Chris was also informative and gave us a real understanding of the history of food in Vietnam. Thank you so much for giving us such a great start to our Vietnam trip.
If you want a great introduction to Vietnamese food whilst in Hanoi, look no further than Ha Food Tours - thank you Chris.

Delicious & fun! - Very excellent tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. Kenny had lots of recommendations for places to eat/visit beyond the few food places included in the tour. Worth every penny!

Street food dinner time - Vietnam’s food is so famous, but if you don’t understand what you are gonna eat how can you try the best o it! Lihn our guide was a real foodie, she explained us with so much passion every dish we tried, what I also value a lot was walking around and talking about vietnam’s lifestyle with her, at the end it wasn’t a tour it felt like a dinner with friends.

Delicious Food Tour - My mother and I took a walking food tour of the Hanoi Old Quarter with Mint. She was an excellent tour guide and very responsive to our requests. Mint grew up in Hanoi, so she knew all about the city and where to go for the best food. She took us to local favorites, with cleanliness being one of her highest priorities. The food was amazing!
Mint is in her 20s and I was really impressed with how she interacted with me (in my 40s) and my mother (in her 70s). Mint would be an excellent guide for all ages.
Mint gave us many options for food and asked us which we would like to try. After our 4th stop, we were getting full, so she cut out the 5th stop for us. In the end, we stopped at 7 different places including 2 desserts.
She tailored the dishes she ordered to our tastes. She even ran out and got us a beer from a different stall to have with our duck Bahn Mi. Towards the end of our tour, she took us to the original egg coffee Cafe. Unfortunately, my mother doesn't drink coffee and I didn't want caffeine at 8:30pm. No problem. Mint ordered us egg hot chocolate and it was delicious!
At the end of the tour, Mint ordered (and paid for) a Grab to get us home safely. I would highly recommend this food tour with Mint!

Not just food but culture too. - Chris was an amazing guide who Moira only explains the food but the culture behind the food. We got so much more than a food tour, we also got an introduction to Vietnamese culture and history. I strongly recommend a tour with Chris.
