What's this trip about?

    Good food is a good mood. This Flavors Of Vietnam - Vietnam food tour will instantly lift your mood with the most luscious dishes around Vietnam. From Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, explore the sites by experiencing the true flavours of Vietnam. Learn the secrets behind these mouth-watering dishes with visits to fresh markets and hands-on cooking classes. Your tour begins with the charming capital, Hanoi, touring the city’s “must-sees” and diving into Hanoi’s deep-rooted food culture by visiting local markets and sampling street fares in hidden alleys with a local food expert. You can catch the good options for Cha Ca, Bun Cha, and Pho, the signature of Vietnamese food that will come up to anyone’s mind when coming to Vietnam. Have delicious meals while cruising to the shimmering waters of Ha Long Bay, a must-visit destination when you are in Vietnam. Then savour the unique dishes that you can only find in Hoi An, walk to a series of the town’s best eateries and dig into a bowl of aromatic Cao Lau noodles, taste Banh Can crackers topped with pork and salads, or the beautiful white rose dumplings. End your journey with unique experiences in Ho Chi Minh City, witnessing its amazing blend of European, Vietnamese as well as Chinese culture through its beautiful architecture, crawling inside the fascinating underground system of Cu Chi Tunnels, and dining in the dark, without your sight as every other sense becomes stronger, those will be memories that last a lifetime. The delicious Flavors Of Vietnam - Vietnam food tour ended full of flavours.
