Great Experience with an excellent guide!
Long overdue review but my private street food tour with Bob as my guide was a great experience and well worth the money. I'm familiar with Vietnam and Vietnamese street food but I wanted the personal experience in a new city. Bob spoke perfect english, was very professional and knowledgeable, tailored the tour to my food preferences, took me to out of the way places that I would never be able to find and I never felt rushed the entire time. He also sent me a recap PDF of the food we tried and gave recommendations for places for me to try. If you are ever in Hanoi and want to experience Vietnamese street food, don't hesitate to book with tour group and make sure you request Bob!

Great Hanoi food tour
We were picked up from our hotel by our guide Mai Mai. She has excellent English and was friendly and informative. We are a family of 6 and the vegetarians in our party were well catered for. We had a great variety of stops with a short walk between them. Great tour!

Why this scores 91
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Hanoi Street Food Walking Tour With Real Foodie: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Private Hanoi Street Food Walking Tour With Real Foodie cost?
+
Prices start at $22 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 Private Hanoi Street Food Walking Tour With Real Foodie 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 Private Hanoi Street Food Walking Tour With Real Foodie worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1,335 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. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Hanoi Street Food Walking Tour With Real Foodie?
+
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 Private Hanoi Street Food Walking Tour With Real Foodie 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 Private Hanoi Street Food Walking Tour With Real Foodie?
+
Around 467 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 Private Hanoi Street Food Walking Tour With Real Foodie 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.
