    Great first night and meal in Hanoi

    We booked only a couple of hours before the tour and it was fine- lucky there was a spot. We were surprised ( and pleased) to be picked up by motor bikes and those drivers were great - we felt safe. However we did not know that would happen so if you’re a little anxious about being on a bike that would be good to have a choice. Minh was our guide and very informative! We were a large group of 11 and a smaller group would have been better. Also some of the places that were planned were closed so we had to go somewhere else. We had 6 courses at different places. 1) steamed rice paper rolls and watched them being made which was the best I think! 2) dry pho - also delish! 3) red noodles 4) bahn mi 5) fresh rice paper rolls which we wrapped ourselves from a platter of things 6) egg coffee. Everything was delicious and we were all very stuffed! Minh enjoyed correcting us us on all our misconceptions about Vietnam. All in all as our first meal and first venture out in Hanoi, it was definitely worthwhile.

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your feedback, Suzanne Lim We are so happy that you enjoyed the Small Group Hanoi Street Food Tour with Real Foodies Thanks again for joining us. Have a nice time in Vietnam! Best regards, Luong

    Outstanding discovery of Hanoi’s culinary jewels

    This was the highlight of our visit to Hanoi! The tour operator was extremely professional and we were allotted to a young local guide named Linh (pronounced Lynn) This chappie spoke very good English and was full of information about his home town. Apart from showing us the hidden culinary jewels of Hanoi, he shared very interesting aspects of Vietnamese life and culture. Would definitely recommend this your!

    Food tour

    Our tour guide Ken was amazing! This was our best day in Hanoi, full of local food and conversations. We couldn’t have found any of these places on our own. Also the tour was adjusted so that we don’t try any of the things that we already have. This is really a unique experience and it’s totally worth it! The food is still keeping us full after 5 hours! Highly recommend!

    Great Food Tour

    Great tour that showed us a lot of the old quarter and the history behind the food. Make sure you’re hungry because there is a lot of food to be eaten. I thought the variety was perfect and was a great intro to Vietnamese food.

    Small Group Hanoi Street Food Walking Tour with Local Guide: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.

    How much does Small Group Hanoi Street Food Walking Tour with Local Guide cost?

    +

    Prices start at $12 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 Small Group Hanoi Street Food Walking Tour with Local Guide 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 Small Group Hanoi Street Food Walking Tour with Local Guide worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 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 Small Group Hanoi Street Food Walking Tour with Local Guide?

    +

    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 Small Group Hanoi Street Food Walking Tour with Local Guide 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 Small Group Hanoi Street Food Walking Tour with Local Guide?

    +

    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 Small Group Hanoi Street Food Walking Tour with Local Guide 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 Small Group Hanoi Street Food Walking Tour with Local Guide?

    +

    Included: Lunch or Dinner (Depending on option selected); From 6- 8 suggested dishes UNTIL your belly is full; FOR PRIVATE FOOD TOUR : We guarantee still run tour from 1 pax; Bottled Water, 1 Can of Beer + Eggs Coffee; and Enthusiastic and skilled English Speaking Guide. Not included: Other Beverages, Personal Expenses : Shopping, Buying Souvenir; and Tips for tour guide is appreciated. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Small Group Hanoi Street Food Walking Tour with Local Guide include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 898 listed pickup locations in and around Hanoi. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Small Group Hanoi Street Food Walking Tour with Local Guide offered in?

    +

    It runs in 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 Small Group Hanoi Street Food Walking Tour with Local Guide?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Small Group Hanoi Street Food Walking Tour with Local Guide if the weather is bad?

    +
