Culinary safari in Hanoi
A wonderful experience; we really enjoyed wandering the streets of Hanoi and tasting the most iconic dishes of Vietnamese cuisine. We likely stopped at excellent spots that truly reflect the local authenticity. Our guide was fantastic—super helpful and great company.

Superb food and friendly guide
Wow, you must do this tour in Hanoi. Bob (our local guide) took us to some wonderful places and told us about the food and the area. He has a lovely, friendly manner and my teenagers thought he was great too. They said it was their favourite night of the holiday (and we had been to Singapore and Thailand list before Hanoi). This is excellent value for money as you get to try several dishes, you won't be disappointed. Thanks to Bob for a wonderful evening.

Amazing streetfood tour with unique spots
We had an amazing foodtour with Minh. He showed us all the best places for streetfood and we really went places we never would’ve found on our own. Definitely recommend!

A must do in Hanoi!
We loved our food tour around Hanoi old quarter! Ricky was a great guide, and every stop was delicious, with a good variety including a nice stop at a craft beer spot. The tour was the perfect way to get comfortable trying all the local spots. Having a small group made the experience intimate and even though it was day 1 we are sure it will be a highlight of our trip. Cannot recommend enough!

Hanoi Street Food Tour with local delicacies: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Hanoi Street Food Tour with local delicacies cost?
+
Prices start at $28 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 Food Tour with local delicacies 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 Food Tour with local delicacies worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1,520 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hanoi Street Food Tour with local delicacies?
+
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 Food Tour with local delicacies suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hanoi Street Food Tour with local delicacies?
+
Around 532 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 Food Tour with local delicacies 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 Food Tour with local delicacies?
+
Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off (Within the Old Quarter); Professional guide; Alcoholic beverages; Beverages; and Tea and coffee. Not included: Personal expense; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

What languages is Hanoi Street Food Tour with local delicacies offered in?
+
