We welcome you to join us on the most incredible street food experience in Hanoi – for an unforgettable, tongue-tantalising adventure!
This tour is a three-hour-long experience where you’ll sample at least 15 local Vietnamese street food varieties including savoury dishes, sweet snacks and unique beverages. Our advice? Have an early and light lunch or even skip lunch on the day that you join us as you’re about to get full, very full!
The tour includes a knowledgeable English-speaking local guide who will talk as you walk and eat. You’ll make friends along the way as you sample Vietnamese culinary delights and wash it down with refreshing Bia Hoi (Hanoi’s beloved street beer).
You’ll learn about Hanoi’s unique street food culture that’s been inspired by French and Chinese cuisine, and meet the friendly chefs and street food vendors along the way. It’s a great way to explore the city and delve deeper inside Hanoi’s history and culture – through its food!

Hi, I’m Nikki and I started South East Asia Backpacker in 2008 after my own first solo backpacking trip! My vision was to create a travel diary for everyone, a place for travellers to share their experiences from the road. After backpacking and writing about Southeast Asia for over 10 years, I saw the opportunity to provide backpackers with the kind of experiences that I’d treasured myself in the region! 
This food tour was amazing!! We got to try so many foods that we would never have known to order for ourselves and we loved all of them! Our guide Cherry was so great and we had an amazing time, would definitely recommend!
The tour was great, we had to try a lot of different dishes in the street road of Hanoï.
Everything we tried was very yummy. Our guide was brillant and gave us a lot of information about Vietnamese cuisine.
And thank you very much to Nikki for everything.
I 100% recommend
Our guide was amazing and so lovely. We were shown good we otherwise would have had no idea about and all the best spots to get it from. Highly recommend this tour if you are unsure about which food you will like/want to try new things.
We took the street food tour on the first night we arrived in Hanoi. It was a great way to be shown the local dishes and what to choose on the streets. Highly recommend
Barring food allergies there is little substitution on this tour. One of us didn’t eat fried foods and had to just sit out a few dishes. We were hoping to learn more about Vietnamese food and culture than we did. Our guide, while very nice, wasn’t good a disseminating this sort of information. With that said, we got to try many different dishes and went to many stalls we never would have found on our own or would have been brave enough to try without local help.
