When it comes to Vietnamese cuisines, most of people think of Pho (beef noodle soup), Nem (spring rolls) or Banh Mi (sandwiches).

A unique experience
Our guide looked after us very well on our trip to Le Mat. He provided an excellent unique experience that our family loved. We got up close to some snakes and then had an unforgettable meal. Highly recommended.
via Tripadvisor
A unique tour with unique cuisine. A must for those who want to experience snakesat in a peaceful town.
Chung was a wonderful tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the local area and shared many stories with us about growing up as a child in the area. The snake farm was exciting to see, especially when the snake farmer took out the Cobra from its home. We've never been that close to a free Cobra. Getting the opportunity to hold a Ptyas Mucosa snake was so fun. The snake was so soft and smooth. We had a wonderful time at the beautiful snake restaurant. So many different dishes were made from one snake. We even tried blood wine made with the heart of the snake and gallbladder wine made with the gallbladder. Both were mixed with MEN VODKA. Chung explained each of the snake courses with us and how to eat each of them. Chung walked us around Le Mat to the different local temples and to a community house. All were so beautiful and peaceful. This Le Mat Snake Village Tour was a highlight of our Hanoi Vietnam stay. Chung kept it exciting and fun for us throughout the trip. We highly recommend this tour and Chung as our tour guide.

Really unique experience
Amazing experience. Got to learn a bit about local cobra and snake culture and see some live snakes as well as snake handlers. The meal consisted of like 10 different dishes, all with snake and all unique and well thought out and executed. The whole tour was very different than old town Hanoi, so would definitely recommend if you have some time while in town.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Le Mat Snake Village Tour With Snake Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Le Mat Snake Village Tour With Snake Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $43 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 Le Mat Snake Village Tour With Snake Tasting 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 Le Mat Snake Village Tour With Snake Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Le Mat Snake Village Tour With Snake Tasting?
+
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 Le Mat Snake Village Tour With Snake Tasting 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 Le Mat Snake Village Tour With Snake Tasting?
+
Around 2 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 Le Mat Snake Village Tour With Snake Tasting 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 Ninh Binh Day Trip from Hanoi with Tam Coc or Trang An & Mua Cave, Ha Giang Loop Tour 4 Days 3 Nights with Ha Giang Vision Tour, Halong Bay Day Tour With Titop Island, Cave, Kayak & Lunch. 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.
