Xin Chao!
We did this tour with the excellent 'A Taste of Hanoi' team, and it was a highlight of our trip. See their website for more details atasteofhanoi.com/
In the morning, Huyen and Lan took us around the markets and introduced us to the unique food of Hanoi. Both were super enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Hanoi and it's cuisine. Needless to say, after sampling around 17 different foods and drinks, by the end of the tour we were happily full, and much more clued up
