“Love love love! We tried a total of 10 different dishes at 6 different locations. A great mix of fresh food, deserts and fried snacks. Also had the train street activity, taxi cab included and drink included at the tracks! Our guide Sarah was absolutely amazing. She is SOOO funny, her English is great, didn’t feel like it was forced small talk but more an outing with a friend. We also got to go to so many hidden restaurants that we never would have found or known about on our own. We learnt a lot about Vietnamese food culture and Sarah seemed genuinely curious about our food culture as well.…”
