Hidden Eats and Full Meal Street Food Tour in the Old Quarter in Hanoi
Full description
This is a 3-hour experience in Hanoi. It is run by Host Visor Expereiences, 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.
The price covers 3-hour guided street food walking tour, local foodie guide, One local beverage: Vietnamese egg coffee, 1 bottle of water and Hotel pickup within Hanoi Old Quarter. It does not cover Personal expenses, Gratuities for the guide, Pick-up outside Old Quarter and Transportation, 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.
Hồ Hoàn Kiếm, Hoàn Kiếm, Hà Nội, Việt Nam. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Host Visor Expereiences before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Traveler Reviews
The tour was great with Phong, it turned out to be a private tour and the conversation was flowing, Phong adapted the tour to what I had already tried and to my preferences and provided explanations on the food and the local habits! Perfect to get a first start in the Vietnamese cuisine and culture, would highly recommend!
Kevin was a great tour guide knew lots of interesting info and stories about the city was very interesting to listen to didn’t rush us through eating - & got to see how egg coffee was made at the end which was also very cool! He picked us up from our hotel also which wasn’t me mentioned in the deception and is a great plus as it saved us 20 mins walking to a meet up location! Would reccomend!
Phong was an outstanding tour guide and made our Hanoi Old Quarter tour unforgettable. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the history, culture, and hidden gems of Hanoi. His local insights and recommendations made the experience truly authentic. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Hanoi!
Was amazing to experience food a tourist would not as a lot of these were in alleyways.
Kevin was an extremely likeable guy. Treated us like his family. We felt safe crossing the hectic streets of Hanoi with him. He had researched street vendors and gave us the background of their signature dishes. One of us was gluten free which he tailored into the tour. We weren’t disappointed at all. At our final stop was to try egg coffee .. we were apprehensive, but Kevin reassured we would love it. We were not disappointed Seven from Coffee Culture was awesome. We would highly recommend Kevin to anyone.
We had an amazing foodie tour with our guide Phong! He showed us some interesting places we wouldn’t normally visit as tourists. The food was really good, and we tasted many different food types. He was easy to understand, and told us about Hanoi and Vietnam.
We had a wonderful and enjoyable tour. We were taken to some truly interesting places, and all the food was excellent. Along the way, our guide shared fascinating stories that gave us a great insight into Vietnamese culture. We were a group of six people, and everything was well organized, making the experience easy, comfortable, and enjoyable from start to finish :)
Phong was an excellent guide - we loved our food stops - well worth doing in Hanoi
Fantastische food tour met Phong, die perfect Engels sprak en bovendien ook wat Nederlands kon. Nam ons mee naar verborgen plekjes en plekjes waar we anders nooit zouden binnen stappen. Overtrof zeker onze verwachtingen. Phong is een zeer goede gids, die geboeid kan vertellen over de Vietnamese (eet)cultuur en goed kan inspelen op de wensen van de deelnemers. Zouden we zeker aan anderen aanraden!
I had an amazing private tour with phong. He brings you around the old quarter telling you some history and bringing you to really local food spots. He speaks English very well, and the food is amazing. There is a lot of flexibility if you want to see something extra or try a different dish. I would really recommend
