Justin took me and my daughter to numerous delicious local eateries in the heart of Hanoi. During our walking tour, we were able to sample dishes that were unique to the city. He provided us with a history of the food culture as we ate and drank our way through the neighborhoods. We had gone on a food tour with a different guide the day before, and Justin went out of his way to find us different dishes. I can highly recommend Justin as your tour guide in North Vietnam.

Highly recommend this tour. There were 10 of us and we all felt the same. Justin and Vicky did a fabulous job of introducing us to really tasty Vietnamese street food. They knew all of the wonderful restaurants to take us to and gave us the "rules of the road" to keep us safe while crossing the hectic streets of Hanoi. The food was all delicious. They also showed us the markets which we were in awe of and the beautiful St. Joseph's cathedral. Thanks Justin and Vicky for taking such good care of us!

Excellent experience. Perfect for Foodies. Eating street foods with locals gives you a good understanding of the local diet and customs. Justin speaks English very well. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Vietnam.
