About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- ExoticEarth0 contributionsA must do when in HanoiThis is an amazing food tour of Hanoi’s Old Quarter. Brian went out of his way to show us places off the beaten track. We tasted so many different dishes at places where only locals were eating. Is was great to have someone show us around the Old Quarter and take us to places we would have never gone to ourselves. He was very knowledgeable about all the food items that we tasted as well as Vietnam’s history. It was a highly enjoyable private tour and great value for the money. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Hanoi who wants to taste authentic Vietnamese cuisine.Written December 6, 2024
- 548suzyf0 contributionsCoffee magic in hanoiJennifer our tour guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. The coffee shops were each so unique and we were told about the creation of famous drinks. Each coffee was so different and so tasty! 100% recommend booking this tour.Written December 2, 2024
- monettea740 contributionsA good representative of HanoiThe historical info from our funny, witty and caring tour guide, Nick Do, was excellent. He really knows his country, his people and their culture. He really makes Vietnam proud. We had a great time even with the walking! I recommend Nick to anyone visiting Hanoi. Best of luck to him.Written December 1, 2024
- Culture431960617970 contributionsTaste of Hanoi - an exceptional travel companyTo all interested: Taste of Hanoi (T.O.H.) helped to provide a remarkable experience for my family during our visit to Vietnam. Our experience was perhaps different than a "normal" tour - and it was excellent. Allow me to explain: 1) We were very behind in travel planning for our trip to Vietnam. We had booked flights and only the first night hotel for a 10-day stay. We were supposed to be leaving within a week and didn't have the rest of the itinerary planned out. Needless to say - our stress level was high. We sent out emails to multiple Vietnam travel agencies asking for last minute help...Taste of Hanoi came through in a BIG way for us. 2) First, Brian from T.O.H. was fastest to respond to our emergency request for planning assistance, and was on the phone with us multiple times making sure everything was set, including ensuring that our visa's to Vietnam (from the United States) were completed in time for travel. 3) Second - we had asked for a very particular itinerary, travelling to multiple places around the northen section of Vietnam. While some of the stops were "customary" tourist locations, we also asked T.O.H. to help us get legitimate local experiences as much as possible. To do this - they had to put together a completely custom schedule, obtain the right local guides, and ensure our transportation was all arranged. They came through on everything - it was great 4) Third - TOH arranged to have local guides for us that were expert in Vietnam locations and culture. They spoke respectable English, were kind and considerate, and took excellent care of my family while there. They also arranged a private driver for us the entire time, which made our travel around the north (Hanoi, Ninh Bihn, Sapa, Fansipan, Ha Long Bay and Island) as good as we could have hoped for. We also asked for some unique experiences - like a scooter tour of Hanoi - and they were able to arrange and make it happen for us on short notice. 5) Finally - they were highly responsive during our time in Vietnam, and responded to ay questions or calls we had on very short notice. Overall - a 5 star experience. Truly - highly recommend this company to help you visit Vietnam. I'll have videos and photos of our adventures on my YouTube channel so you can see first hand what we did. Thanks. Cory from Family, Adventure, Fun, Love. (FAFL)Written November 26, 2024
- 794nonson0 contributionsWonderful tour that combined great food with history.Ha was our tour guide and he was exceptional. We started off for drinks at the Skyline bar, which had spectacular views of Hanoi. Followed by gorgeous street food at a local restaurant. Our tour guide then took us through some of the tiny streets in Hanoi's old quarter whilst given us a history of the area. This was followed by more street food, and a signature cocktail at Nê Cocktail bar. The night ended with craft bears at Pasteur Street Craft Beer - Ấu Triệu Taproom & Restaurant. It was a fantastic tour that I highly recommend.Written November 26, 2024
- catherineannc20200 contributionsAwesome evening tour!Had the Best time on the evening moto bike tour in Hanoi! The stops are all worthwhile, the guide was super informative, and riding on a moto bike was not only fun but get such an authentic experience in the city. Do not hesitate to book this (or more!) tours with Taste of Hanoi - you will not regret it!Written November 25, 2024

We came for the coffee culture and our tour guide Jennifer was so insightful and shared many protips! Loved this experience.Written November 22, 2024
- Q4919WQalexw0 contributionsAmazing tour with wonderful peopleWe had an amazing day with Ha and Nhi. They took us to see some very interesting historical sites in Hanoi on their motorcycles. They were both very generous and very knowledgeable. We felt safe on the bikes, and extremely well looked after. It was an absolute highlight of our visit to Hanoi and we will never forget the experience.Written November 22, 2024
- christinebA4397MZ0 contributionsExhilarating bicycle tour of Hanoi!Fantastic tour! An exhilarating bike ride through the old quarter and across Long Bien Bridge. Brian is an excellent guide. We felt safe on the bicycles with him in Hanoi traffic, he made sure we had plenty of hydration and snacks. We very much enjoyed tasting local food like the egg coffee and sticky rice ice creams. Brian’s local knowledge and understanding of the colourful history of Hanoi bought the tour to life. A must do tour especially if you only have a short time in Hanoi, you will see and experience so much. Highly recommend.Written November 18, 2024

We saw and learnt so much in half a day. We felt very safe on the bicycles with Brian leading us.Written November 18, 2024
- dkme10100 contributionsBest coffee shop tour!The secret coffee tour was amazing! We had a great time exploring coffee shops! We had every quality coffee we can get and learn about it at the same time! Every shop we went to had completely different tastes and vibes which makes our experience more fun! Our tour guide Jennifer is very knowledgeable, she did a great job touring us around! Such a pleasure to be her customer and even gave us tips only local knows. We're very glad we booked it 🙂Written November 11, 2024

- NVS3000 contributionsMust-have guide for your Hanoi experienceI did this tour with Brian from "A taste of Hanoi". He was energetic, knowledgeable and a great story teller. My Hanoi experience would not have been what it was if it was not for what I saw, learnt and experienced on my tour with Brian. If you want to make your time in Hanoi worth it, he is your must-have guide.Written November 6, 2024
- 826angelinac0 contributionsPerfect start to the trip!I decided to take a couple of food tours as soon as I got to Hanoi to better get my bearings on the city. I am so glad I did this. The city can be overwhelming at first and a food tour with a guide really helps to 'break the ice' and get you walking around the city. Bryan was our guide. We went to so many places. And not touristy places. Which I loved! I am a huge foodie and have had many food tours in other countries. None of them compare to Bryan's. Bryan took us to several places one would never find if new to the city. He told us the story behind each stop and in between eats he taught us some history of Vietnam. He stopped at several places I would have just walked by and never tried. At each stop I learned something new. And that was the goal - to learn more about the food and culture in Vietnam starting in Hanoi. I am so grateful I had the opportunity to spend two days with Bryan. It was time well spent and worth every single penny. Next time I'm in Hanoi I'm scheduling another tour. So much to see! And taste! Thanks for two great days!Written November 6, 2024

My family of 5 did this tour and I can safely say it's the best one I've ever done. The communication from Brian and his guides was second to none and the tour itself was so much fun. We saw things that we wouldn't have seen on our own and the scooter rides were great and we all felt perfectly safe with our very competent drivers. We got really good information about the sights we saw but it wasn't an overload so special points for there. We finished at a beautiful tea house which was very calming and a perfect way to end the tour.
We did 2 tours in Hanoi with A taste of Hanoi and I would highly recommend making this your first stop before booking anything. The whole experience was 5 stars.

This day was a highlight of my trip to Vietnam. Being on the back of a scooter is so much fun and gives a different perspective, we all felt really safe with our drivers. We got to see a lot of different parts of Hanoi we wouldn't have found on our own and loved the Long Bien Bridge in particular and the tea ceremony was a nice, calming way to end the day. We had a fantastic lunch, I am still craving that banana flower salad dish and hope to find it in Australia. The amount of time allocated to each stop was perfect. There were five of us in our family group, so we felt like it was a personal tour. I believe they will run it for 2 people or more but even if a solo traveler, I would get in touch as Brian and the team were very accommodating. They arranged our airport transfers at a good price last minute. I recommended this tour to some people I met at our hotel, they did it the next day and also loved it.

From start to finish this tour was worth every penny. Nick and his partner were absolutely kind and respectful. Nick was very knowledgeable about many historical facts regarding Hanoi and Vietnamese culture . Nick and his partner listened to our questions and our needs through out the tour. The places we went we could have never seen on our own. The historical landmarks came with stories and references . We learned , we laughed , we took pictures , we experienced true Vietnamese culture . We highly recommend Nick and his partner. The scooters were very safe and super fun.

We did this on our first day in Hanoi to help us get a better understanding of local areas and take in some
history. Our tour guides were excellent and there really is no better way to see the city than on the back of a scooter! Great choice of venues, amazing lunch and a lot of fun. Highly recommended this tour for anyone visiting Hanoi.

It was an amazing tour. I got to see a side of Hanoi I’ve never seen before and got to taste amazing food and drink. I really enjoy going on the motorbike because I get to see so much, enjoy the wind and not get carsick 😁
Our tourguide Rose and accompanying driver Phuong were super kind, interesting and just amazing. I would definitely do this tour again and I can only recommend it to others.
But I have to add this is not a typical tour to see the most popular sights. This is like the name says a tour for Hanoi’s hidden side not for the typical tourist attractions.
