The perfect introduction to Vietnam.

We had the most splendid tour! Dulcie was a kind, informative and fun guide. Loved hearing what he had to share about Vietnamese culture and language whilst we enjoyed delicious food- all the venues and dishes were excellent. Small group was perfect. Tour was well organised and excellent value for money. Would highly recommend. Thank you, Dulcie!

Delicious food and learn more about Vietnamese cuisine and eating habits

A very nice and engaging tour. In local restaurants you eat fantastic Vietnamese dishes. Pilko our guide was great, super enthusiastic and he told a lot with knowledge about the dishes, customs, culture and table manners in Vietnam. This tour is really recommended in Hanoi.
