The Tour

Hanoi street food, with the gluten taken out of the equation.

Hanoi is one of the best eating cities in Asia, and a gluten intolerance should not keep you out of it. This walking tour is designed around that: your guide knows which kitchens can be trusted, what the sauces are made of and which dishes are naturally safe, so you spend the evening eating rather than interrogating menus.

You cover at least six dishes and drinks between the little streets and the family-run eateries of the Old Quarter, roughly two to two and a half kilometres of easy walking. Along the way you get the stories behind the food and a closer look at everyday Hanoi, which is really why these tours are worth doing. Tell us your requirements in advance and the route is tailored to them.
