The Best Street Food Tour in Hanoi

One of the most preferred things among travellers is to find delicious, appetizing and popular local cuisines of the country wherever they go. It is the only time you will get a chance to explore those local varieties that are unavailable in your country and you should not miss the chance. However, when you design your ​Vietnam tour package​, there will be little information about street food as most of the tour packages cover only hotels, public places and famous destinations to visit. For the authentic street food hunt, you need to find it on your own. Yes, technology can help you to find the best cuisines when you are in Hanoi, but you are alone on a treasure hunt (isn't it a nice name- Treasure hunt?)

Let's discuss some of the key things when you want to go on a street food tour in Hanoi that will help you to find what you are looking for and that too in your budget.

What budget we need to spend One thing you need to remember here is that you are not just going to explore new local cuisines when you are on a Hanoi street food tour. You are also on a knowledge tour and for that particular reason, you should not consider a budget to

be the problem. When it comes to Hanoi local cuisines, it is important to admit that it is a bit costly affair and you need to think about it.

Should I go with a group or alone?

It depends on you whether you enjoy those gossips while touring with a group or you want some alone time while tasting those delicious foods for the first time. One drawback of going with a group is that you will miss all the details your guide is conveying you in a hectic Old Quarter. Also, when it comes to Hanoi street food stalls, they are not made to accommodate groups unless you just want to eat hotpot or at a Bia Hoi joint. However, if you don't like to be a member of the group, and you are not a team player, it is advised to go on a private tour.

There are so many travel agencies and professional agents who offer good street food during the ​best tours in Vietnam​, especially in the Hanoi city. It is up to you to decide whether you want to go private or with a group. You can find the best cheap deals for a private street food tour in Hanoi.

Food versus Old Quarter Tour You need to decide what you want during the Hanoi street food tour as the guide with you might not know your preferences. You can tell him in advance what you are looking for. For example, some guides, along with food information, want to share Vietnam history and the Old Quarter. If you want to keep it a food tour strictly, be vocal about it. If you want to know about other additional details, along with local cuisines, the request can be accommodated by the guide too.

Hidden spots and unexplored cuisines The key challenge when you are on a Hanoi street food tour is that the operator might just want you to visit some specific spots only. They have a clear list of stalls, cuisines and dishes to make you aware of. It might turn out to be a fixed tour.

However, if you don't want to go by the book, you can tell the operator. The best way here is to explore hidden gems when it comes to local cuisines as you might end up having delicious food dishes which are not in your travel operator's list. However, it is a very subjective area and your personal preferences matter here over anything else. Moreover, if you have done your part of the research and have specific requests, they will be taken care of by the operator. Discuss your expectations in advance with the operator to avoid any unwanted situations.

The market visit

Add it in your ​Vietnam tour package and most of the travel agencies will accommodate your request. A wet market or street market should be visited when you are in Vietnam and make sure that you have an experienced guide with you to make the tour interesting and knowledgeable. The main reason to go for a market tour is you will be able to see and taste some different produce and explore the recipes. However, most of the tour packages don't include a market visit in their itineraries. So, you need to add in it.

Conclusion If you want to make the ​best tours in Vietnam​, it is recommended that you go for the Hanoi street food tour and explore different local cuisines and dishes. Go with a professional guide and make the tour richer and satisfying. Eat local cuisines, know about the making processes and make your bag full of knowledge and wisdom.
