Caroline
About local Spring or Hieu
29 July 2025
Fun, interesting time!

Spring was lots of fun, she was so helpful explaining everything. We enjoyed our walk around all the local back alleys meeting locals along the way. The food was so varied and interesting. My husband enjoyed the stuffed snails but the highlight for me was the avocado ice cream. I would highly recommend Spring.

My wife and i recently did Anne's food tour and had a fantastic time! Anne was knowledgable and brought us to some great spots that we would never have found otherwise. She is very passionate about her tours and gave us some great insight and things to be aware of while touring Hanoi. Would highly recommend!
