A Food-Lover’s Dream Tour of Vietnam
We did the 12-day Exquisite Vietnam Culinary Expedition tour, and it was the perfect tour for foodies! We visited so many places and learned so much about Vietnamese culture and food. We especially loved the cooking classes in Hanoi and Hoi An—they were really interesting. The Vespa tour was also one of our favorites; it was incredible, and our guide were so much fun, we had a great time with he. Our hotels were comfortable and well-located, and our guides were all amazing. The drivers were always on time, and travel our consultant Lindy, took great care of us. We truly loved the tour and would definitely use this travel operator for our future trips.
