I'll be back to Hanoi soon!
My trip was one for the books, all thanks to your incredible service—everything was just perfect. I’m really grateful for how everything turned out and can’t thank you enough for being so professional. A special shoutout to you, Gam, for being so kind, thoughtful, and full of energy. You put together an awesome itinerary and supported me like a true friend. Even though I was traveling solo, you made sure I never felt alone. Thanks for making my time in Hanoi so special. I also really appreciated the great transportation and tour guide services. I’ve got plenty of reasons to come back to Vietnam, and when I do, I’ll definitely be reaching out to you again. Take care and stay safe!^^
Response from the operator: Hello Thu, Thanks so much for your time to write nice reviews. Hope to welcome you to Hanoi again. Best Regards, Incredible Asia Journeys.

A great introduction to Vietnamese food
Can I just start with saying ' Vietnamese food is incredible' it is light but filling, tasty but not overpowering. One of the best ways to experience any culture is by trying the local food, it can tell a story and more so with street food because that's what locals eat and love. We were taken on this tour by the very passionate Loan ( no!!not money, Loan is the name of our tour guide) , she took us to the vibrant narrow lanes of old quarter and made us try many delicious local dishes and also told us about the history of why and how they came to be. Vietnam is a country with rich history and you can feel that even in their food. I will not spoil the fun for you by telling it all but since you are herr reading my review I say go for the tour already and if you happen to meet Loan, give her my love.
Response from the operator: Dear swathihariharan, thank you so much for your review. We are happy to know that you did enjoy the trip with us. we hope to welcome you back to Vietnam in one day soon.

Fantastic food ... great company !!
Firstly I would like to thank Ms Trang Thuy from the tour operator who introduced this tour to us. Thanks to her recommendations, we also went for the Halong Bay Escape Sails tour and Nimh Binh & Trang An tour. She took the effort to explain all the different tours and came to our hotel to greet us before the tours and collect payment. Thanks Trang !! Anyways, this street food tour was fantastic. Our guide, Ms Lan was very very knowledgeable and told us about the different streets in the old quarter and the history of the old quarter. On top of that, was the food. WOW !!! After the first two stops, we were stuffed BUT we still had to eat the rest as the food was just fantastic. The highlight of the night for me was the Egg Coffee. It is one of the best coffees I have ever had. We went back for it everyday after that. This is definitely one tour which I will recommend to anyone going to Hanoi. Thanks Lan !!!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Street Food Tour in Hanoi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Street Food Tour in Hanoi cost?
+
Prices start at $27 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 Street Food Tour in Hanoi 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 Street Food Tour in Hanoi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Street Food Tour in Hanoi?
+
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 Street Food Tour in Hanoi 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 Street Food Tour in Hanoi?
+
Around 1 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 Street Food Tour in Hanoi 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 Street Food Tour in Hanoi?
+
Included: English-speaking tour guide; and Street food with different dishes. Not included: Beverages and other meals not suggested in the itinerary; Personal expenses; and Tipping/ Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Street Food Tour in Hanoi include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 400 listed pickup locations in and around Hanoi. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Street Food Tour in Hanoi 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 Street Food Tour in Hanoi?
+
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.
Is Street Food Tour in Hanoi wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
