Hang Ma Street
Meet your guide at the departure point. You will go to a secret eco-friendly coffee shop to get your briefing pitch. Here, you will also enjoy a demonstration of the preparation of an iconic drink: Vietnamese egg coffee (with a twist). Then, set off into the maze of alleys and eat a fried nem, standing on the street amongst the busy workers. Continue and stop at a famous pho stall to slurp up this world-renowned beef noodle soup. Next, try some banh ran (sweet fried sticky rice) and a real exotic experience: fried chicken legs (or wings for the less daring travelers). With these unique delights, you can enjoy a cultural stop at Hang Ma Street. This street is a key place for all Vietnamese: all year round, locals buy votive paper, lanterns, Christmas decorations, and more.

Wonderful Street Food tour.
Our travel agent booked through Discova an Evening Food Tour for us on our 2nd night in HaNoi. Our guide was Phong, a very friendly guide who had a great knowledge of the local food scene. He said he tried out his tour on his sister and she gave it the OK. So did we. We started at the Hidden Cafe which we made our way to on a grab ride from our hotel. (As an aside get the grab app. So easy to use. Regard it as the Asian Uber). We started with the iconic Vietnamese coffee being an Egg Coffee. It is more a meal in one and very filling but pleasant. We then walked to various restaurants, all operated by the locals out of the front of the their houses. Had a wide range of excellent food, most of which I can't remember the names of but very enjoyable. I was completely full by the end. We finished in a small streetside bar for a couple of local beers which were very welcome in the heat. Phong was excellent in his knowledge of the food scene and thoroughly recommend him through Discova.

A great way to try authentic Vietnamese food!
We loved this tour - Our guide Mai was just fantastic. She took us into tiny local restaurants that we would not have ventured into on our own and as a result we got to try some amazing food! Believe me - you'll be full by the end of this corner, especially with a stop on "beer corner"! We got to see some interesting sites as well, including the bars along the Hanoi railway line (you have to see it to believe it!) Recommended.

Private tour led by Ti Do Van Huan exceptional value and most interesting
Explored the old part of Hanoi and tasted traditional food. Watched preparation. Enjoyed explanation of cooking. Absolutely tasty. This private tour was led by Ti Do Van Huan and was exceptional value and most interesting. Ti even helped us cross any busy streets and walk down narrow laneways. Ti's English is very good, most trustworthy and only deals with reliable vendors. Highly recommended.

The best night.
I went on another food tour alone for two consecutive days. This was the second day, and I was the only one in attendance, so they showed me a list of the shops we visited on the tour the day before and arranged it for us! Not only about the food, but also about the history, the city, the recipes, and even the way we crossed the road, our guide Sunny was very kind to us! They listened to my requests, so I was happy to eat what I wanted!

Great introduction to Vietnamese Street food
We had a fantastic evening walking the streets of Hanoi with our tour guide Huien (hope that's spelled right). He explained everything we were eating and drinking to us along with the history of how this came to be a popular vietnamese dish. It was highly educational and gave us more confidence to choose what to eat for the rest of our trip in Vietnam. Definitely recommend!
Response from the operator: Dear Ciara, Thank you so much for taking some time to share with us some thoughts about your recent street food tour with guide Huan. It's great to know that you love the experience, love our food and were happy with guide Huan. I am more than happy to pass on your nice words to the rest of the team. We look forward to your next trip to Asia soon. Best regards, Anh Client Experience Officer

Hanoi Street Eats Evening Small Group Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Hanoi Street Eats Evening Small Group Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $23 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 Street Eats Evening Small Group Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Street Eats Evening Small Group Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 10 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 Street Eats Evening Small Group 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 Street Eats Evening Small Group Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Hanoi Street Eats Evening Small Group Tour?
+
Around 4 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hanoi Street Eats Evening Small Group 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.
What is included in Hanoi Street Eats Evening Small Group Tour?
+
Included: Sightseeing and permit fees during guided times; Service charges and government VAT tax; Expert English-speaking local guide; and Meals listed in the itinerary. Not included: Services and meals if not mentioned in itinerary; Hotel pick-up and drop-off transfer; and Gratuities for guide and driver (optional). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Hanoi Street Eats Evening Small Group Tour?
+
Our Tour guide will be waiting for you at meeting point: Hidden Gem Coffee: 3B Hang Tre Street, Hoan Kiem District. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Hanoi Street Eats Evening Small Group Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in Vietnamese and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Hanoi Street Eats Evening Small Group Tour?
+
