Vietnam Food Tours: Discover The Real Vietnam

Indochine is a name that stirs the senses and emotions. It conjures visions of proud farmers in conical straw hats tending to their rice paddies. It conjures smells of lemongrass, ginger and mint, savory spices used in Vietnamese cooking. And it conjures the romance of a bygone colonial era, and the hope of a resilient people who look to a modern future, even as they retain the deep traditions that make Vietnam food tours so fascinating.

Join us on our Vietnam food tour for an experience that will take you deep into the culture as you cook (and eat) your way from Saigon to Hanoi. Along the way you’ll stop at the UNESCO World Heritage site of Hoi An and the former imperial capital of Hue. Enjoy unparalleled local access on our Vietnam tour, such as private dinners in a colonial mansion and a royal garden house, Vietnamese cooking classes and market tours with renowned chefs, and even a street food tour as you ride on the back of a vintage Vespa!

Is a Vietnam Food Tour for You?

This journey is for travelers who believe that the best way to understand a place is through its food—and are eager to experience Vietnam with all five senses.

You’ll love it if you’re drawn to bustling street food stalls, vibrant local markets, hands-on cooking classes, and quiet countryside meals with unforgettable views. From Hanoi’s tangled alleyways to the lantern-lit charm of Hoi An, each day blends rich history, warm hospitality, and bold, unforgettable flavors.

You don’t need to be an expert chopstick user or a fan of spicy food (though you might become both). You just need curiosity, a sense of adventure, and a love of authentic experiences that reveal the heart of a culture. Please note that although this trip is not an exceptionally active trip, there is quite a bit of walking, including some on uneven pavement, and the weather can get quite hot.

This private tour is ideal for couples, friends, or families looking to explore Vietnam on their own terms—with the flexibility to linger longer, dig deeper, and truly connect.

Your Vietnam Culinary Tour Itinerary

Day 1: Our Vietnam Culinary Tours Begin in Saigon

Welcome to our Vietnam culinary tour! You will be touring Vietnam in a way that allows you to truly experience the fascinating culture, history and cuisine of this beautiful and exotic country. We will pick you up at Ho Chi Minh City’s Tan Son Nhat Airport and bring you to our historic boutique hotel in downtown Saigon. (Ho Chi Minh City is the city’s formal name, but locals refer to it as Saigon.) Our lovely Saigon hotel is a 1925 French colonial building overlooking the Saigon River.

We recommend you arrive early in the day because this evening you are in for a treat. Our welcome dinner will be held in a colonial mansion which was the former residence of Henry Cabot Lodge, US Ambassador to South Vietnam in the mid-1960s. A sophisticated Vietnamese dinner will be served in the magnificent dining room, accompanied by live music and a traditional dance performance.

Drive time: 20-30 minutes
Meals included: Dinner

Day 2: Traditional Vietnamese Cooking Class & Saigon City Tour

One of the reasons to take a Vietnam culinary tour is to learn to cook authentic Vietnamese food. Today we’ll start the day by visiting a local market with our cooking class chef, where we will find fresh produce and aromatic spices used in Vietnamese cuisine. Then we will cook at the cooking studio of a talented celebrity chef, Luke Nguyen, who has hosted MasterChef Vietnam and is the author of seven cookbooks. 

After lunch, we’ll embark on a walking tour of Saigon’s historic sites. Starting with the Opera House and the former Hotel de Ville, we’ll take in some of the city’s best preserved French colonial buildings, built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. We’ll wander up to the Paris-inspired Notre Dame Cathedral, and then head across to the Central Post Office. A short drive away is the former presidential palace, the headquarters of the South Vietnamese government during the war. Now renamed the Reunification Palace, it sits largely as it did in 1975, and is a fascinating historical artifact of Saigon’s turbulent past.

Next we’ll head to Cholon, the Chinese part of Saigon, to visit the Thien Hau temple, built in the early 19th century to honor the Goddess of the Sea. With its ornate interior courtyard, the temple bustles as worshipers come to pray. To make a wish, it is local custom to write it on a small card and attach it to one of the incense coils. We’ll continue to FITO, a museum of traditional Vietnamese medicine, before returning to our hotel.

This evening is one of the highlights of our Vietnam culinary tour. With over eight million inhabitants and four million motorbikes, Saigon is a city on the move. Tonight we’ll get a glimpse of how the local Vietnamese live as we explore Saigon’s authentic street food scene from the back of a vintage Vespa scooter.

Drive time: Depends on city traffic
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (on the Vespa tour)

Day 3: Fly to Danang & Enjoy Hoi An

This morning we will visit internationally renowned artist Ta Kim Dung in her cozy studio to learn about her lacquer and oil painting. You will then transfer to the airport for your flight to Danang, followed by a quick drive to a relaxing, boutique hotel in Hoi An – just a short stroll to Hoi An’s colorful and bustling old town. Also, you won’t want to miss the daily complimentary massage and spa experience while you are here!

The afternoon is yours free at leisure. This evening, we’re invited to a local home for a hosted dinner of traditional foods. After dinner we will walk to the heart of this ancient town, where we will board a traditional wooden boat and cruise along Hoai River, enjoying the view of Hoi An at night.

Drive time: Approximately 35 minutes
Meals included: Breakfast, Dinner

Day 4: Hoi An Food Tour

This morning, we’ll discover Hoi An’s ancient buildings and local street food. Stroll through zigzagging alleys to discover different neighborhoods and indulge in local delicacies that have been made here for generations. Along the way, you’ll soak in fun insights and anecdotes on Hoi An food culture and local traditions.

In the afternoon, explore Hoi An at your leisure or indulge in the complimentary massage and spa experience at the hotel.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch

Day 5: Drive to Hue & City Tour

After breakfast we’ll drive to the former imperial capital of Hue, stopping en route to visit the Cham Museum. The Cham people are one of Vietnam’s ethnic minorities and are the descendants of the ancient Kingdom of Champa, in what is now Central Vietnam.

Once we arrive in Hue we’ll tour the landscaped gardens and residence of a restored royal garden home, a harmony of nature and imperial architecture. After a chance to chat with the family, we’ll enjoy lunch at their beautifully-furnished dining room with elaborately carved reliefs.

Hue served as the imperial capital to the Nguyen dynasty, which reigned from the 17th to the 19th century. With splendid emperors’ tombs, ancient pagodas and the remains of the Citadel, the city retains its royal heritage and charm. This afternoon we’ll take a cyclo ride from your hotel to the Imperial Citadel, a UNESCO World Heritage site. (A cyclo is a pedal-trishaw unique to Indochina, used throughout the colonial era and to this day by locals and foreigners alike.) We’ll enter through the towering main gate to appreciate the magnificent architecture and gardens as we learn about the royal court. Despite heavy bombing, there are some well preserved sections still intact and others which are being restored. 

Next we’ll visit the tomb of Khai Dinh, the emperor of Vietnam, from 1916 to 1925. This hillside monument is a mix of Vietnamese and European style elements. Most of the tomb’s grandiose exterior is covered in blackened concrete, creating an unexpectedly Gothic air, while the interiors sparkle with an explosion of colorful mosaics. Tonight you will stay in a lovely and relaxing boutique resort and spa in the countryside just outside of Hue.

Drive time: 3 hours
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch

Day 6: Hue Culinary Tour & Cooking Class

Hue’s culinary heritage is inextricably tied to its imperial history as the city is renowned for its elaborate cuisine created for the royal court, as well as the traditional food enjoyed by locals. Today we’ll explore these two themes in Hue cuisine with celebrated gastronomy artisan, Professor Nhu Huy, author of cookbooks, food television presenter, and the recipient of several prestigious talent awards in Vietnam. We’ll start with local food, visiting the local market where we will learn how to select the freshest produce and ingredients necessary for Hue’s food. Afterwards, we’ll spend the rest of the morning visiting several Vietnamese villages which each specialize in a different popular dish. We’ll have an opportunity to sample Hue favorites including com hen (mussel rice), banh beo, banh nam, banh loc (varieties of soft rice cakes), and banh uot (steamed rice pancake).

Next we’ll head to Professor Nhu Huy’s home for a private hands-on cooking class, featuring the cuisine developed for the royals of Hue’s imperial past.

Afterward, we’ll drive to visit the seven-story Thien Mu pagoda, Hue’s best-preserved religious monument, perched on a hill overlooking the Perfume River. Then the evening is yours to explore Hue or enjoy the resort. Perhaps indulge in a luxurious spa treatment, take a dip in the pool or stroll the lush tropical grounds of the resort.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch

Day 7: Fly to Hanoi & Water Puppetry Show

After breakfast, we’ll transfer you to the airport for your flight to Hanoi. Upon arrival we’ll head directly to Dao Thuc village for a private water puppet experience. Originating in the 10th century, water puppetry is a folk art that is unique to Vietnam. Although water puppetry has existed in Dao Thuc village for over 300 years it has had a recent resurgence thanks to a talented and committed puppet artisan. We’ll drop by the puppet workshop to meet the artisan and learn how he and his family are sharing this traditional art with the world. Then we’ll enjoy a private 30-min water puppet show on the village pond, accompanied by live Vietnamese music.

After the show we’ll drive to Hanoi. We’ll enjoy a cyclo tour around Hanoi to orient ourselves and check into our boutique hotel, which is within easy walking distance of Hoan Kiem Lake and the old quarter. The rest of the afternoon is yours to explore the capital of Vietnam, perhaps a further visit to the bustling old quarter and the local markets — keep a look out for the many little temples along the way!

Drive time: 1 hour
Meals included: Breakfast

Day 8: Hanoi City Tour

Hanoi is full of charm, with French colonial buildings, tree-lined boulevards and scenic lakes. We’ll begin our day at the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, where the preserved body of “Uncle Ho” resides. Behind the mausoleum, we will visit Ho Chi Minh’s house, a simple wood home where he lived and worked, adjacent to a tranquil lotus pond.

Next we’ll visit the Temple of Literature, built in 1070, which was Vietnam’s first university for the sons of mandarins. If you are interested, we can also visit the infamous Hoa Lo Prison, known as Hanoi Hilton, which is now a museum.

For lunch, we’ll enjoy a stop at Bun Cha Le Van Huu, one of Hanoi’s famous specialties. In the afternoon, we’ll explore the Museum of Ethnology, which offers a fascinating insight into Vietnam’s 54 ethnic minority groups. Later we’ll stroll around Hanoi’s Old Quarter – 36 streets, named after 36 wares which were traditionally sold there.

This evening we’ll have a lovely farewell dinner of traditional Vietnamese cuisine – the kind of dishes you’d be served as a guest at a Hanoian home.

Drive time: 2 hours
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 9: Vietnam Culinary Tour Ends

Your Vietnam culinary tour ends today as you transfer to the airport for your return home. Or, extend your trip with a cruise to Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of 1600 spectacular limestone karst islands in the Gulf of Tonkin.

Drive time: 45 minutes
Meals included: Breakfast

Please note: This itinerary is designed to give you an idea of what to expect during our Vietnam culinary tours, but is not set in stone. What we actually do on a given day is flexible and can be tailored to the interests of the group.

CLIMATE

Our culinary tours in Vietnam take us to a wide variety of Vietnamese towns and cities. We begin our adventure in Saigon, which is Southern Vietnam. Here you should expect temperatures year round to be in the 90’s during the day and the 70’s in the evening. Humidity is consistent year round and there is a greater chance of rain from June to September.

As we travel north to the cities of Hoi An and Hue, you can expect daytime temperatures to be in the 90’s and nighttime temperatures to be in the 70’s most of the year, with slightly lower temperatures in the winter months. The most common months for rain in this area of Central Vietnam are October and November.

We end our Vietnam culinary adventure in the northern city of Hanoi. Summer season (May to October) is hot and humid with temperatures in the 90’s during the day and the 70’s in the evening. This is also the time with the greatest chance of rain, generally July to September. In the winter months (November to April), the weather should be a little drier and the temperature could drop to the 60’s during the day and the 50’s at night.

Perhaps you have chosen to continue your adventure in Vietnam on our Halong Bay extension? If so, the best times to visit are late March to early October.  During the spring months, late March to early May, you can expect daytime temperatures in the 70’s and nighttime temperatures in the 60’s.  In the summer, late May to August, you should be prepared for hot and humid weather with daytime temperatures in the high 80’s and 90’s and nighttime temperatures in the high 70’s.  The weather begins to cool down slightly in the fall with September and October usually seeing daytime temperatures in the 80’s and nighttime temperatures in the 70’s.
