Fantastic food experience - We had a wonderful time with Huy. We visited fantastic local restaurants and learned a lot about Vietnamese cuisine, so fresh, so balanced, so tasty. It's hard to pick our favourites as they were all so good. Huy was so generous and accommodating, I would unhesitatingly recommend this tour with him.

The Real Hanoi Foodie Adventure - I recommend everything in this tour!!! Chris taylor makes his food tour pending on what you like and don’t like. Also if there is a certain dish or many you want, let him know and i’m sure he can he can accommodate your needs and personalise your tour even more to your liking. Not only that but he takes you to where mostly the locals eat so you know you’re getting the real Hanoi foodie experience. One of the best food tours i have been on. Thanks once again Chris, you’re a legend brother :).

Chris of Hanoi is a GIFT to travel loving foodies! - One word, AMAZING! We are sooooooo fortunate that Chris of Hanoi gracefully escorted us through the culinary delights offered in his home town. Chris met us on the steps of our hotel (Sinfonia Del Rey). As we walked to our first stop, he folded in historical facts and educated us on local customs. Over the course of 3+ hours, we sampled eight different traditional foods/ beverages, many of which were in family owned establishments that we would never have found had we wandered about on our own. We travel often and this was hands down best private foodie tour we have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Being guided by one who is passionate about food as well as where he grew up was a TREAT! Thank you Chris!
