Discover the Real Hanoi

Many travelers come to Hanoi excited to try Vietnamese food but quickly face common challenges: language barriers, tourist traps, confusing menus, and countless online recommendations that don't always lead to authentic local experiences.

Without local guidance, it's easy to spend more money, waste valuable travel time, and miss the hidden food gems that locals truly love.

At Ella Hanoi Food Tour, we help travelers discover the real Hanoi through authentic food, culture, and local stories. More than just a food tour, our experiences introduce guests to Vietnamese traditions, basic local phrases, daily life, and the rich history behind every dish.

Meeting Point: La Ha Noi café, 13 Đinh Tiên Hoàng, Hoàn Kiếm, Hà Nội — walk to the stairs, go up and turn right (View on map).
