Full description
This is a 3.5-hour experience in Hanoi, built around Hanoi Old Quarter. It is run by Crossing Vietnam Tour, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Japanese food tours work because the best places are small, unmarked and full of regulars, and a guide who orders for you opens them. An izakaya crawl covers yakitori, sashimi, karaage and the local pours of sake, shochu and highballs across three or four counters in an evening; a ramen walk explains the broths, tonkotsu, shoyu, miso and shio, and the regional styles. Most places seat eight to twelve and tours run six to eight guests for that reason. Vegetarians should say so when booking, because dashi stock is fish and hidden in almost everything; halal-certified options exist but are fewer.
Pickup is offered from Hoàn Kiếm and Hoàn Kiếm; the exact spot and time are agreed with Crossing Vietnam Tour once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.
The price covers Hotel pickup from selected hotels in the old quarter, Street food tasting, Cyclo ride for about 40 minutes, English-speaking guide and 1 coffee or other drinks such as smoothie. It does not cover All other drinks, Extra food portions, Tips for local guide and Other personal expense, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Traveler Reviews
We had a wonderful walking food tour with Brian. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Vietnam. Thank you fir a great tour.
The food we tried were all delicious for first time visitors to Vietnam. Our food tour guide named Pilko was very lively and made our tour fun. We had no idea we would learn so much about the cuisines of Vietnam from the north, central and south. All the little eateries and cafes Pilko took us were fantastic! The first place he took us specialized in "Bun Cha" which were balls of meat in a bowl of generous amount of flavourful sauce. It wasn't too sweet or too sour or salty. He also took us to have dried pho which was very very good. This was a unique experience as I've never had the dried ver
I really enjoyed this tour. I learned alot from Ruby.
Neo was so lovely, amazing tour, very informative & food delicious!!
Kira our guide was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable, and explained the food and Hanoi in great detail. We can highly recommend the tour and restaurants she took us to. Our only negative was the Cyclo driver wanted payment at the end and it was part of tour. The food component was excellent.
Had such a great tour with Chi, the food is delicious and Chi is a very pleasant and informative woman and super friendly 😊, it’s an easy walk and definitely worth the money
Brian was fun to be with, open to a conversation, shared his knowledge of Vietnam’s history, organised great service and quality food and ensured we were happy with the tour.
Steph is a great guide. We enjoyed every food offering and her explanations were appreciated. Be sure to go hungry because it’s a lot of food! We had not experienced the cyclo before so we were glad to get to experience it but probably wouldn’t do it again.
Penelope was a wonderful guide who shared a lot of the local history and culture during the tour. The food tastings were all good, with generous portions. The cyclo ride at the end was a nice way to top off the tour.
Very knowledgeable tour guide , thoroughly enjoyed!
We had such an enjoyable experience with our tour guide V. The food we had was delicious and he offered a fun, unique perspective from a member of the younger generation about life in Hoi An. We loved walking through the streets of the old quarter with him and experiencing things we never would have discovered on our own.
Daniel our tour guide was excellent, his English is excellent and his attitude too. He picked us on our hotel on time. The food choices were great and plenty we tried Bun Cha, Banh Mih, Pho rolls, and egg coffee, everything was delicious. Daniel was very attentive and and he answered all our questions and he show us around the city, At the end of the food tour the cyclo driver picked us up and gave us a little tour around the city and took us back to our hotel. We had a great time! Overall a really recommend the food and cycle tour. Thank you Daniel!
