Melody was super cute, polite and also funny. She is very easy to talk to. She is speaking English fluently.
Since my friend and I are vegetarians she chose locations which offer vegetarian options. All the places are original vietnamese street food spots and everything was just delicious.
We had a great time and enjoyed the tour very much.

Hien is a fantastic guide! The food tour took us beyond the usual tourist spots and introduced us to some really delicious and traditional local food. Everything was personally selected and tried by Hien herself, which made the experience feel authentic and well thought out.
She was incredibly friendly, funny, and easygoing, while sharing lots of interesting local insights along the way. A great way to discover Hanoi’s food scene beyond the mainstream. Highly recommended!

It was a lovely evening with Melody!
She was kind, full of joy and shared lots of experiences with us. The food was tasty everywhere we went and definetely somewhere you wouldn’t go yourselves. Ask for the Beer Place to finish the evening. ;)
I would recommend the Tour with Melody to each and everyone!
