The focus is on authenticity and diversity. Our tours are designed to take you off the beaten track to discover the best street food, visit hidden local eateries, learn about regional ingredients, and experience the cultural significance behind Vietnam’s most famous dishes, such as Phở and Bún Chả.
Yes, safety is our top priority. Our expert local guides only take you to vendors and stalls that are highly vetted, popular with locals, adhere to high hygiene standards, and have a high customer turnover (meaning the food is always fresh).
Absolutely. Cooking classes are a highlight, especially in Hoi An or Hanoi. You'll typically visit a local market to select ingredients, learn about herbs and spices, and then cook and enjoy several traditional Vietnamese dishes with guidance from a professional chef or a local family.
Yes. Vietnamese cuisine is naturally accommodating. We can easily cater to vegetarians and pescetarians. Please inform us of any severe allergies (e.g., shellfish or peanuts) in advance, and your guide will ensure safe and delicious alternatives are provided at every stop.
Yes, for multi-day tours. The cuisine varies greatly by region. Our tours highlight the differences: the nuanced, broth-heavy dishes of the North (Phở), the spicy flavors of the Central region (Bún Bò Huế), and the sweeter, coconut-infused dishes of the South (Bánh Xèo).
Both offer unique experiences. Day tours are great for exploring markets and tasting lunchtime favorites. Night tours are vibrant, offering a bustling atmosphere, local beers, and classic evening dishes like Bún Chả or various grilled meats. We recommend trying both if time allows.
No. Our goal is to connect you with the local food scene. We often visit small family-run stalls and hidden alleyway eateries that have been perfected over generations, giving you a taste of real Vietnamese culinary life, far from the tourist crowds.
