To me, Hanoi’s food is more than just delicious - it’s a reflection of our people’s way of life, shaped by generations of Vietnamese, French and Chinese influence. I love wandering through the Old Quarter’s bustling streets, sampling authentic street food, or catching a traditional water puppet show that brings our stories to life. Whether it’s exploring the French Quarter, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, West Lake, or the nearby traditional craft villages, I enjoy helping guests discover the real Hanoi - its flavors, traditions, and the warmth of its people.

I’ve lived in Hanoi for over 20 years and this city never stops amazing me. They say when you truly love a place, it starts with the food - and Hanoi’s dishes have my heart forever: Bún chả, Bánh xèo, Phở, Bánh Mì, and Chả cá Lã Vọng! I also love uncovering hidden gems tucked away in the Old Quarter - secret cafés, cozy pubs and restaurants only locals know. When I’m not exploring, you’ll find me at a museum, taking photos, or sipping a seasonal coffee before heading to a bookstore. With my background in history, I enjoy sharing Hanoi’s fascinating past, culture, and of course, the best spots for authentic food and drinks!

When I’m not eating my way through the city, you’ll find me wandering its charming streets, discovering new cafés, or admiring old French buildings.

Here is what our guests say about our hosts and creating memories
Selda made our excursion memorable, with thorough explanations of the sights and their historical and cultural significance. Selda took the time to answer our questions and provide insights during the discussions.
If i could i would give Mayu an 11 out of 10. Very good Tour in Osaka with a lot of side information about locals and culture. I would next time book a longer tour right away.
Mariko was the perfect guide. Very friendly, knowledgeable, flexible with what we wanted to do and a gave us a perfect mix of history, culture and facts. We really loved our day with Mariko.
Pam was so incredible! She was perfect in every way. We saw everything we wanted and she taught us so much about Japan. We felt special with her personalized service and customized tour. She genuinely cared about us and whether we were having a good time. We plan to stay in touch with her even after we leave Japan as friends because we had so much fun!
Great tour to learn more about Malaysian/Hokkien/indian food in Malaysia. Aisyah was a wonderful guide and definitely recommend this tour for anyone that loves food. Bring an umbrella/sunblock etc as the weather can be brutally hot & humid!
Great!
Great tour!
Our Tourist guide was so nice and knew so many interesting things to tell us. We felt really confident with Jade - it was very interesting and she showed us the secrets of Hoi An. We can highly recommend her as tourist guide ❤️

After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary.
Yes! You can blend food, culture, history, neighborhoods, or even a bit of nightlife if time allows. Just share your interests in the questionnaire, and your host will build the day around them.
