This three-hour guided walking food tour in Hanoi offers a local perspective on the city's street food scene. The tour begins at Hoan Kiem Lake, where the guide explains the lake's name and the origins of Hanoi's name, along with details about nearby attractions such as the Night Market and Walking Street. The main part of the tour takes place in the Old Quarter, which has 36 streets and a range of local eateries. Participants sample between four and eight traditional dishes including Vietnamese bread (Bami), noodle soup (Pho), steamed rice pancake (Banh cuon), Bun cha, dried beef salad, dumplings, sticky rice, fresh or fried spring rolls, mixed fruits, sticky rice with ice cream, and the famous egg coffee. The guide also teaches how to cross the busy streets safely and shares useful Vietnamese phrases to communicate with locals. The tour includes one bottle of pure water, all food tastings, egg coffee, and an expert English-speaking guide. It is suitable for vegetarians and vegans, though options focus on vegetables, onions, and bean sprouts rather than tofu. Guests with gluten-free diets or those wanting a private tour are advised to contact the operator before booking. Tips, extra drinks, and hotel transfers are not included.
