Vu was amazing. In addition to the food, He was so helpful at helping me understand a few basics about the city. Highly recommend him. great guy, speaks fluent english.

We did the scooter tour with our kids and it was just amazing. Mr Ha & his wonderful team were so nice and helpfull. We felt very safe in all the hustle of Hanoi. They showed us all around central Hanoi and even took us to local markets & some hidden gems. Can only recommand using them! Thanks again for this unforgettable jouney

Our second time and again a good choice. Interesting food variety and an educated and entertaining guide (Mr. Ha). We will come again with other friends and visitors.

Excellent coordination and very interesting event. 100% enjoyment!! We did 2 tours (Hidden Hanoi and Foodie Bike Tour)

Ha was very friendly and knowledgeable. The coffee locations visited were diverse and wonderful- showcased a variety of coffees as well as cultural differences in buildings and lifestyles. Very educational-thank you.

Son was an incredible guide, very knowledgeable, generous an all round fun to spend a day with. We photographed some of the last veterans of the American War in Hanoi.

We had so much fun with Ha on this tour, with our 3 kids aged 11-19. Not only did he introduce us to some amazing local food (much of which we would never have even thought to have ordered on our own), but he also gave us a great history of the foods and also about the local area and Vietnam in general. My 11 year old says “5 stars. Best thing ever!” Don’t ignore the recommendation to skip lunch - we were absolutely stuffed with all the good food by the end!

We did a knife making course with Son! He was such a great tour guide and we had the best time making the knives and now have such amazing souvenirs to take home!

Great tour, went with Son & Jasmine who were the loveliest guides we could have asked for. Was a really good experience visiting all of the stalls we would never have found and trying a lot of different food. Highly recommended.

Brilliant tour with lots of interesting facts about both coffee and Hanoi by our guide Jackson who is also a Barbara. Excellent hidden ahops

I was lucky enough to stumble upon this tour company. All of their Hanoi city tours are well worth it and super informative and fun. I learned so much. The cool thing was that the company has enough experience with Vietnam in general that they were also able to help me customize some experiences for later in my trip. I had an unconventional timeline and some random set of wishes. Brian was experienced enough to understand my situation and piece together a custom itinerary that worked out perfect for me. He sensed what my style of travel was zeroed in on the perfect combination. I value his experience and think he has put together a unique company of guides and tours that stand out from the many that are offered. Go with A Taste of Hanoi and you will not regret it no matter which tour you choose.

A good new experience on making knife with Son. He is a nice and friendly guy, we had a happy chatting. Finally, we got our handmade knife

The 10 Tastes Tour of Hanoi introduced our group of six to a different side of Hanoi to which most tourists are oblivious. We walked around the Old Quarter, slipping between many small family-run cafes, sitting on tiny chairs and amongst cooking pots. There was plenty to see. We felt a part of everything going on around us, and we had the confidence to explore and discuss our thoughts on other travels and experiences in Vietnam with tour guide, Brian The Vagabond. He shared with us little bits of information relating to religious, cultural, and practical aspects of Vietnamese life and food. It really was like the name of the company - A Taste Of Hanoi - as the tour extend beyond simple food experiences. . We sampled 10 super fresh hot and cold dishes, green tea, and local beer that are uniquely Hanoi in their flavours. Brian is a passionate foodie, and his history of being a qualified chef encouraged us to try flavours and things outside our comfort zone, and they were super tasty. We had a coeliac on the tour, a person who was mad about fresh Durian, and a few who needed the comfort of fans in the stifling heat. Brian accommodated all our needs and answered our questions expertly. Of course the benefits are with finding some places to return to on your own. He really helped us understand each venue had opening and closing times, and why they had been chosen for the tour. The bites he chooses are unique and d high quality. We finished in a local beer hall and after running over time we parted with MỘT – HAI – BA– DZÔ and finished our tour, well satisfied we had ‘tasted’ Hanoi’s best.

An absolutely wonderful journey with Brian! An experienced chef and guide for more than 15 years, over 10 in Vietnam, Brian knows the food scene in this town. In a Bourdain like extravaganza, we toured multiple unique spots around the old quarter. Each stop had an in-depth description of the specialty that we would enjoy, along with stories about the chef or restaurant. Our family of four throughly enjoyed this experience as we gained access to the inside scoop of what locals know. The tour was really well planned as we meandered between 9+ spots. We will try to return to all discoveries he introduced to us. A very enthusiastic foodie whose passion for Vietnamese cuisine is infectious. A++

Loved this walking foodie tour of Hanoi. Brian was an incredible host and his passion for food was evident from the moment we met. Hanoi really is a foodie paradise and I highly recommend this experience. Perfect final stop for coffee with view over the lake. If you do the afternoon tour I recommend you skip or have a very light lunch! Brian also did a great job of adapting the food to my gluten free diet.
