of Culinary Delights: Discovering Vietnam's Flavors

Ho Chi Minh City → Hanoi 10 days Up to 15

About this trip

This 10-day trip follows Vietnam's food from south to north, starting in Ho Chi Minh City, moving through Hoi An and finishing in Hanoi. Each city has its own style of cooking, and the trip is built around tasting the differences as you go.

Rather than ticking off famous restaurants, the focus is on eating where Vietnamese people actually eat, seeing how everyday meals are made and shared. It's a relaxed, easy-paced way to get under the skin of the country through its food.

Run as a private, partially guided tour, it suits families or small groups who want structure with some flexibility, and the choice supports local communities along the route.

  • Eat your way through Ho Chi Minh City's street food scene
  • Discover Hoi An's distinct central Vietnamese dishes

Good to know
