We Were Here Before "Food Tours" Became a Trend
Back in the 2010s, before the Old Quarter was flooded with identical tour itineraries, Hanoi Food Tasting Tours started with a simple, practical idea: to show friends from afar how real Hanoians eat. We are proud to be one of the pioneers of the street food tour model in this vibrant city. We know the hidden alleys, the secret recipes passed down through generations, and the grumpy-but-lovely vendors who make the best Phở in town. We’ve watched the city change, but our core value remains the same: Authentic taste, zero filters.
Why Us ??
The Pioneers of the Old Quarter
With over a decade of experience, we don't follow tourist maps. We create our own.
Zero Tourist Traps
No watered-down flavors. If the locals don't eat there, we won't take you there either.
Intimate Small Groups
The group size is limited (maximum 8 people) so you can truly sit together at a table, chat, and squeeze into the narrowest eateries in the smallest alleyways.
Unmatched Local Experts
The highlight of the tour was our companions. Our team of local experts were more than just flag bearers; they were high-EQ locals with a great sense of humor and extensive knowledge of street culture.
Our Mission
To connect you directly with the soul of Hanoi through its culinary heritage, bypassing the tourist traps to deliver a 100% genuine local experience.
Our Vision
To remain the undisputed Local Authority on Hanoi’s street food culture, innovating the way travelers experience Vietnam while supporting local street vendors.
