- Do not forget to explore street food markets such as Nghia Tan and Thanh Cong in Hanoi.

Travel Tips for Food Tours in Vietnam
- Always bring cash with you on Vietnam food tours, as markets often do not accept cards.
- No matter how salty your dish is, make sure to not drink tap water.
- Try to opt for bigger food stands. This will be your guarantee that the food there is safe.
- Try to learn a few Vietnamese phrases. In rural places, people often don’t speak English, so knowing a bit of Vietnamese will help you communicate.
