Vietnam Culinary Discovery - 11 days

Just as Vietnamese cuisine is all about yin and yang, so this journey is one of balance. Experience guided tours through local markets, test your skills in cooking schools, and enjoy lavish meals at some of the country’s best restaurants. From Hanoi and Halong Bay to the historical charms of Hue and Hoi An, and on to the buzzing streets of Saigon - only a visit to Vietnam can truly reveal the diversity of the country’s cooking tradition.

1.  A full day cooking class at the Red Bridge Cooking School in Hoi An uncovers the cuisine of Central Vietnam.
2.  Sample fruit picked straight from the orchards of the Mekong Delta.
3.  Wake to the glistening waters of Halong Bay lapping at the bows of your comfortable private boat on an overnight cruise.

Their insight and knowledge means you can expect experiences no guidebook can offer, and you will be inspired by their passion. Having them accompany you for the entire journey means they can impart their vast knowledge and experience of the local culture and history and can answer any questions you may have.
