Melody was so nice and professional! We enjoyed the tour very much and enjoyed the tour and she showed us all the hidden spots!
Melody is an exceptional guide—warm, engaging, and genuinely passionate about food and her city. She takes you to hidden gems you would never discover on your own, offering an authentic taste of local cuisine and culture. The tour is thoughtfully curated from the first appetizer to the final dessert, with every stop carefully chosen and every detail perfectly planned. It's much more than just a food tour—it's an immersive experience filled with incredible flavors, fascinating stories, and unforgettable moments. I can't recommend this experience highly enough. If you want to discover the true heart of the city through its food, this tour is an absolute must!
Hien (Melody) is super fun, super charismatic, and took us to hidden gems we wouldn’t have found otherwise! Magnificent cuisine, genuine approach to vietnamise culture and Hien was the most fun to do it with. Honestly, I completely understand the round 5 star this tour has.
Amazing food tour that takes you to some really cool places you would never find yourself. Melody is so friendly and chatty and makes the whole tour really fun and interesting, you can tell she is passionate about showing you good local foods beyond the usual pho/bahn mi/ bun cha. This was genuinely one of the best experiences we have had in Vietnam and I couldn’t recommend this tour enough!
We had an amazing time on our Hanoi food tour with Melody! She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel welcome from the very beginning. She introduced us to delicious local dishes we probably would have never tried on our own, while sharing fascinating stories about Vietnamese culture, history, and daily life. Every stop felt authentic and carefully chosen. If you’re visiting Hanoi and want to experience the city through its food with a wonderful local guide, I highly recommend this tour with Melody. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!
Amazing food tour not to be missed
As a vegetarian being on my travels has been a tad challenging. Arriving in Vietnam and then seeing a vegetarian tour made me so happy! I booked on as soon as arrived at my hotel and within 10 mins I was there! The tour was so insightful! Not only did we get to try vegetarian authentic Vietnamese food we go to learn about the routes we were taking! Tommy enthusiasm was infectious! He was super informative and even after the tour shared suggested places to go / see for the rest of my trip! Thank you! Another successful GuruWalk!
Haitiotismiss took us to really good places. We all had different dietary demands, and he was able to accommodate each of them. He was also very forthcoming with information and insight into daily life in Vietnam.
Such a great tour with delicious food! You will go to places you can’t even see from the main road. Melody is so kind and knowledgeable too. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Melody was amazing! She has a lovely personality and was very knowledgeable. Food was really good, we just wish we had room for more! We would have loved to visit a local bar at the end of the trip but Melody has provided some recommendations which is great. Would 100% recommend this tour as an intro to Hanoi!
We enjoyed the food tour in a small group very much. Our guide Melody brought us to small restaurants and streed food stalls, we had never found our own. So we tried special selected dishes. We not did not only learn a lot about food although about vietnamese people. Due to the small group there was enough time to talk about things we were interested. Melody is very friendly and speaks clear and fluid English. The prices a very affordable and it is possible to share dishes with your friends. We enjoyed the tour and the food very much and would highly recommend it.
Melody was the best tour guide! By the end of the tour, she felt like a friend. Melody explained everything well, was entertaining and had so much information to share. Thank you Melody!!!
Amazing welcome in Hanoi Old Qtr thru this Food Tour by Hanoitismiss. Quality foods -- from spring rolls to pho and che -- and truly a great experience walking on some alleys and sitting, Vietnamese style. Tommy is rly fun to be with, the walk filled with amusing stories & tales about northern Vietnam.
Melody introduced few Local insights, She made the food journey enjoyable … and She managed a very reasonable costing to try all food
Awesome tour, very nice guide who didn’t rush us. Informative and fun!
Great tour nice food good fun! Tx
My friend and I are so happy we found this tour! Tommy was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide and fluent in English. We visited four local places and were able to try food we hadn’t heard of. He answered all of our questions and taught us a lot about Vietnamese food and culture. We highly recommend this tour if you’re in Hanoi. It was definitely the highlight of our visit! Thank you Tommy :)
Wow! Our food tour with Tommy was fantastic! He was so knowledgeable about the food and culture of Vietnam and Hanoi specifically. We enjoyed a great variety of food in places that we would never have known to go into on our own. He also shared great insights into the people and the city. We strongly recommend this tour and Tommy as guide!
We did the street food tour with Melody and honestly it was such a great experience. What made it special was that she brought us to truly local and hidden spots that you would never find as a tourist on your own. But beyond the food itself, what really made the difference was Melody’s kindness, empathy, energy and knowledge. She was amazing at involving everyone in the group and sharing interesting information not only about the food, but also about Vietnamese culture and daily life in general. Highly recommended!
Melody was great. Took us to off the beaten path places we never would have found and was very personable. We had a nice night
This is highly recommended especially on your Day 1 in Hanoi. The food are all made fresh and we'll explained.. It was fun.
Our tour with Tommy was so informativ and funny. Also the foodplaces were incredibly good and in walking distance. I would recommend everyone to do it, if you have the chance.
Wow! The most incredible food tour. Going to local spots, learnt so much about Vietnamese culture and life, at delicious food at small hole in the wall spots we never would have gone to otherwise. Couldn't recommend more. Tommy you are the best! Thank you for such an incredible time, we loved it.
Great experience and knowledge of the places and explanation of the Vietnamese cuisine and places we go , and the food we ate
Melody is very knowledgeable and took us to places we would not have known about. I went back to the same place for papaya salad the next day.
