Frequently asked questions
Where exactly is the pickup point?
Shared transfers collect guests from hotels within Hanoi's Old Quarter. The precise pickup location will be confirmed in your booking details — if your accommodation is outside the Old Quarter, check with the operator in advance.
Do I need any coffee-making experience?
None at all. The class is designed for complete beginners, and a dedicated instructor guides you through each step at Cafe Minh.
What street food will we actually eat?
Tastings are subject to availability on the day, but may include banh cuon (filled rice noodles), pho, crab rolls, pillow cakes, fried rice balls, fresh rolls, and banh mi. Your guide will explain each dish as you go.
Is this suitable for children?
Children under 4 are welcome at no charge, though no seat will be reserved for them. Older children can join as paying participants.
Can I join if I don't drink coffee?
Tea is included alongside the coffee tastings, and the street food walk is a substantial part of the experience — so non-coffee drinkers still get plenty out of the tour.
What happens if the weather is bad?
The itinerary is subject to change due to weather and traffic conditions. The coffee class at Cafe Minh is indoors, so that portion is unaffected; your guide will adapt the street food walk as needed.
