Full description

This is a 2-hour experience in Hanoi, built around Hanoi Old Quarter. It is run by VIETNAM TRIP 24h, 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 English tour guide, Walking tour of Old Quarter, Dried-pho tasting, Banh xeo tasting and Bun cha tasting. It does not cover Tips for tour guide, Pick up and drop off, Drinks not mentioned above and Extra drink, 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.

83 Hàng Điếu, Cửa Đông, Hoàn Kiếm, Hà Nội, Vietnam. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with VIETNAM TRIP 24h before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Our guide Lizzie was amazing and full of knowledge. She was able to direct to other areas as well as guiding us through the Old Quarter easily to enjoy the traditional Michelin guide food places. Thank you so much.

The Michelin food tour was a great experience. Kevin was really good - he took us to the right places for the best Vietnamese local food. The egg coffee making and tasting experience was fantastic. Highly recommend this tour when in Hanoi :)

We really enjoyed our tour with Ceri! The diversity of food was great and each dish very satisfying. The order of appetizers > mains > desserts > drinks at train street was thoughtfully curated.

Frequently Asked Questions

The price does not cover tips for tour guide, pick up and drop off, drinks not mentioned above and extra drink. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Yes, if you say so at booking. Fish sauce is in most dishes, so vegetarian, vegan and shellfish allergies need naming specifically; the guide swaps stalls and dishes. 'Khong cay' means not spicy. Street stalls with a queue and fast turnover are the safest, which is exactly where a good guide takes you.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
