Exactly what we wanted!

Ted was very proactive in asking about what we wanted from our food tour. We wanted egg coffee so he made a specific point to take us to the original location. Ted communicated well and adjusted our toir accordingly. Ted was kind, thoughtful and wanted our tour tomet our expectations.

Wonderfull foodtour

We had such a great time with Kaia! She took us to some amazing local spots and showed us where the locals actually eat. My girlfriend and I are both real foodies, and Kaia absolutely hit the spot. We had already tried quite a few Vietnamese dishes before the tour, so she immediately said, “Okay, then we’ll find you something you haven’t tried yet!” And she definitely did. Kaia is incredibly friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. Besides all the delicious food, she taught us a lot about the local culture and shared plenty of useful little tips and tricks along the way. If you’re looking for a food tour, we would definitely recommend booking with Kaia! She really adapts the tour to you, so if there’s something you don’t like, or if you have allergies or dietary restrictions, she’ll always find a good alternative. Thank you, Kaia, for such a fun and delicious experience!

I had a wonderful time on Kaia's food tour in Hanoi. She took us to places that we would never have found on our own, from small family-run restaurants hidden in narrow alleys to local spots full of history and character. What I enjoyed most was that the tour was not only about food. Kaia shared stories about Vietnamese culture, daily life, and the history behind each dish, which made the experience much more meaningful. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and very easy to talk to. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was authentic, and the whole evening felt like exploring Hanoi with a local friend rather than joining a tour. If you're looking for a genuine food experience in Hanoi, I highly recommend Kaia's tour.

An Unforgettable Food Tour with Kaia

Kaia was an amazing guide! This was much more than a typical street food tour. She took us to authentic local spots, introduced us to the culture and food of Hanoi, and made the whole experience fun and engaging. Her knowledge, friendliness, and passion for the city made the tour unforgettable. Highly recommended if you want to experience the real Hanoi! ????

Best local i have met so far

We booked with kaia and probably was the best decision we took in hanoi. She knows a lot about food and secret spots, but she is someone with a lot of knowledge about other things. She has a very sweet vision about why she does the tours and why she likes connecting with foreigner travelers. We had such a good time with her, we ended up hanging out other days as well and after this tour, i can confidently say i have a new vietnamese friend. Thank you for being so nice and welcoming to your country! Do not event
