Unforgettable Culinary Experience in Hanoi with Penelope! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Joining this street food tour was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Hanoi! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and the food was absolutely incredible. A special shoutout to our amazing guide, Penelope, who took exceptional care of us throughout the entire tour. She was so warm, attentive, and genuinely sweet, making sure everyone felt comfortable and well-fed. Beyond just feeding us amazing local dishes, Penelope was a wealth of knowledge—she shared fascinating insights into Vietnamese food culture,

Finn was a fantastic tour guide, really knowledgeable. Not only did we eat LOTS of incredible food but we learnt about Hanoi’s history and culture. Highly recommend taking this tour if you’re a veggie! We realised we can eat more than we thought we’d be able to in Vietnam.

Excellent tour!! Our guide Noe was amazing! Had a really great time trying all the foods and listening to her telling us about her city and the food. She was very gentle and kind! Would highly recommend this tour. Ended on train street to see the train pass by. I would recommend coming with an empty stomach.

We could not have enjoyed this tour more. Our guide Finn was particularly excellent. The food, the train street experience and getting to know more about every day life in Hanoi through Finn was just exceptional. We completed this tour early in our 3 week trip and I know the knowledge we have gained from it will be so helpful to us going forward.

Really good tour. Ate loads of delicious food. Was a great introduction to Vietnamese vegetarian food. It gave us the confidence to try lots of things. Anya was really fun and informative. Would definitely do another tour. We did not need any dinner after. Was great to finish on train street.

Liam was a great guide. I had a private tour and it was on a scooter. He tailored the tour to what I wanted to try and was very knowledgeable about how the food was prepared. He even gave me tips on the other Vietnamese cities I plan to visit.

my guide, S, was so knowledgable with near perfect English. I was the only 1 on the tour, so we got to talk about all kinds of things. I enjoyed walking the streets of the old quarter, Hanoi and stopping in at local cafes and secret restaurants to eat local yummy foods, dessert and coffee. I would recommend this tour for vegetarians/vegans to become familiar with what's on offer in Vietnam, besides Bahn Mi and Pho. The Mango sticky rice with pandan was my absolute favourite.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Hotel pickup in Hanoi. Crossing Vietnam Tour confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. The collection window is usually a little wider than a fixed minute, because the driver is working a route around several hotels.
The price does not cover personal expenses and tips. 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 tell us when you book rather than on the day. Vegetarian and vegan are routine; allergies need naming specifically so the host can shop differently. The class works around the ingredients bought that morning.
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.
