Amazing food tour with the best guide Rose!
We had a food tour with Rose our first night out in Hanoi! She was so incredibly informative and sweet! Such a great way to start our Vietnam trip! She had so many great tips and knew everything :) absolutely recommended!

A must tour
Kiara gave us a wonderful night tasting delicious Vietnamese foods, imparting some cool history related to the dishes we tried and teaching us how to negotiate a fair price at the night market. She even made we sure we got back to our hotel safely. We highly recommend this tour but be sure to arrive hungry; so you have room for all the samples.

Beware of blue light scam !!!
The Hanoi night market offers an excellent selection of street food and souvenirs at very reasonable prices. Travellers are advised to be cautious of the “blue light scam.” In our case, a taxi displaying a Grab sign was in fact a private operator. Upon reaching our hotel, the driver switched on a blue interior light, which distorted the appearance of currency notes, and attempted to substitute our VND 500,000 note with his VND 50,000 note, claiming he did not have sufficient change. The issue was resolved only after firmly challenging the driver and threatening to contact the police. ⚠️ Always verify the authenticity of ride-hailing vehicles and carefully check cash transactions. Beware of the “blue light scam” ‼️

Hanoi Food - the local secrets shared!!
This is such a wonderful tour experience! Kira our guide for the evening shared so much on local customs and culture, and flexed the tour stops to our interests and tastes. Each food stop was better than the last with delicious local delicacies we would have missed out on if we had just walked by ourselves. This is a must do in Hà Nội… and ask for Kira, she’s the best!!!

Hanoi Night Market and Street Food Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Hanoi Night Market and Street Food Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $30 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 Hanoi Night Market and Street Food Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Hanoi Night Market and Street Food Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 50 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hanoi Night Market and 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 Hanoi Night Market and Street Food Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hanoi Night Market and Street Food Tour?
+
Around 18 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hanoi Night Market and 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, (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR, Incense Village Quang Phu Cau, Hat Village and Hanoi City Tour. 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.

+
