Lola is the best Guide ever!
Lola was an amazing guide! I would definitely recommend her to everyone. She was very open-minded and even wanted to learn some words from our language, which was really cool. We also wanted to try some specific things, and we had already eaten some of the dishes on the original route. We let Lola know, and she quickly changed the route and found us new and interesting things to try. We had a great time!

A Wonderful First Day in Hanoi with Emma
I had a wonderful experience with Emma as my guide in Hanoi. Emma was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful throughout the tour. Thanks to her, I was able to experience not only some of Hanoi’s highlights, but also a little of the local culture and everyday life. One of the highlights was the bun cha restaurant she took me to. It was a place loved by local people, and the bun cha was absolutely delicious! Since I had just arrived in Hanoi, enjoying such an authentic local meal with Emma became one of the most memorable experiences of my trip. She also helped me feel comfortable in a new city, including the experience of crossing Hanoi’s busy streets! I’m very glad that I chose Emma’s tour. She made my first day in Hanoi truly special, and I have already fallen in love with this wonderful city.

Amazing Birthday
I booked the street food tour and didn’t know what to expect. Sao was my guide and she was the most welcoming and amazing tour guide. She showed me around the old quarter and we ate/drank delicious local food/drinks and she even invited me to her hometown near Hanoi! I never expected to be invited into a local’s home. She and her mother in law cooked me dinner and showed me around their little town. It was the most surreal side quest of my life. I can’t thank her enough for an unforgettable first day in Hanoi

Hanoi Food Tour
This tour was the perfect way to start our trip through Vietnam. Puka and others were awesome guides, we had a lot of fun, and gave us great tours and suggestions for things to do during our trip. We had so much fun, we even ended up going to dinner with him and his daughter the next night! We loved the food tour, and got to try traditional Vietnamese dishes without getting travellers belly. 10/10 would recommend to anyone, and a great value for money.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
(Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR cost?
+
Prices start at $5 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hanoi is not rushed.
Is (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 95 out of 100, which we label "Peak Performance". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 546 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR?
+
Around 191 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hanoi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hanoi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hanoi?
+
On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ha Giang Loop 3-Day Small Group - from Hanoi, Incense Village Quang Phu Cau, Hat Village and Hanoi City Tour, Ninh Binh Day Trip from Hanoi with Tam Coc or Trang An & Mua Cave. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hanoi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hanoi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR?
+
Included: Free Hotel pickup (Hanoi Old Quarter only); Our email confirmation to guarantee your tour'll take place (you must leave your email); Free private tour guide; and No tip expected and no hidden charge during the tours. Not included: Transport. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 528 listed pickup locations in and around Hanoi. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+
