Really nice coffee workshop!

Booked: Hidden Hanoi Workshop Crafting 6 Unique Vietnamese Coffees

Alex was a wonderful guide - so very kind! He took us to delicious spots and chose items for us to try that are his personal favorites. He has great taste! We tried dishes we were familiar with and others we never would've known about. We enjoyed his company and learning about the local cuisine. Highly recommend!

Booked: Hidden Alley Food Tour in Hanoi

This trip was my favorite adventure in HCMC! Touring the streets and alleys by motor bike, through districts most tourists never see was more exhilarating than I imagined. Our young English -speaking guides Kurt, Han and Vi grew up on these streets and provided commentary and stories about each district we visited. They also provided historical culinary lessons at each stop. The street food we sampled was even more delicious and more authentic than some of the wonderful restaurants we visited in District 1.

Booked: Zero-Tourist Saigon Food Adventure by Scooter & Local Home Visit

We booked the 5:00 am option and were the only group on the tour. Ngoc was shocked that we actually made it that early and went out of her way to give us the best experience possible. We borrowed some bikes from the artisans and rode around the village. We got to visit the market and learn from some of the other food vendors as well. The fresh tofu was delicious and most definitely the best tofu I’ve ever eaten! That said, this is much more than just a tofu experience, you really get a feel for the village life outside the touristy center or Hanoi. Also, for planning purposes: it’s mentioned that it may be difficult to catch a ride back to the city center from the village, this is probably true, but we did manage to get a grab directly from Ngoc’s home at the end.

Booked: Learn the Art of Tofu with Hanoi’s Last Artisanal Craftsmen

An excellent experience I can’t recommend highly enough! Snow was awesome, super safe scooter driver and we went to places I never would have found, and covered quite a distance! It’s a family run business, so going to spots her family eats at, and meeting friends and cousins along the way was super fun. Like being shown around by a friend of a friend. Loved it!
