About this experience
This is a food tour for those who believe great food comes with great stories.
Riding with a local Ao Dai guide, you’ll visit four eateries featured in the Michelin Guide — not for fancy decor, but for their honest flavors and local soul.
What you'll eat:
Start with a warm bowl of Vietnamese noodle soup. Then enjoy a fresh spring roll with herbs and dipping sauce. Try smoky grilled dishes, just like locals do at night, and finish with a sweet Vietnamese dessert.
Along the way:
You’ll stop for a short walk at one quiet local spot to soak in the rhythm of the city. Your guide shares real stories of food, people, and why these humble dishes earned global attention.
This tour isn’t about how much you eat — it’s about eating with meaning.
