We had a great time. It was a chill and enjoyable tour where we got to try some of Vietnam’s staple dishes, along with a few that were a bit unique. Liam was friendly and shared interesting information about the food and its background, which made the experience even better. We tried six dishes in total: bun cha, Vietnamese coffee, mixed pho, pho spring rolls, banh mi, and sticky rice ice cream (personal favorite) . If you enjoy walking, this tour is a great fit since each restaurant is about 700 meters to 1 km apart, making it a nice way to explore the area between stops. We ended the night with a cyclo ride. It was a nice way to take in the surroundings and also convenient because we didn’t have to worry about haggling over the price, something that can sometimes happen when arranging cyclo rides on your own. Overall, it was a great experience and I’d recommend it if you’re looking for a chill way to explore, walk around, and enjoy good food.

Our guide, Mr. Halu, was especially wonderful and outstanding. We also appreciate the driver for their smart and skillful driving.
