Once we arrive in Ha Giang City, we will appoint suitable motorbikes and drivers. A trip briefing will be provided before you set off to Nam Dam village. You will be accompanied by a local who will show you the way. The 45km drive is stunning, passing through traditional villages, beautiful valleys, and climbing mountains. Along the journey, we will make plenty of stops to take pictures and give your bum a rest. :) Among the stops we make is the Fairy Bosom hills in Quan Ba and a geopark recognized by UNESCO.

We'll stay the night in a tiny village called Du Gia, and (weather depending) have a swim in a hidden waterfall. Day 4: Today is an easy day. After breakfast, we'll take it easy, chilling out by the mountainside, having a swim at the waterfall nearby, or capturing some villagers’ photos. After our farewell lunch, We’ll drive back to Ha Giang. About 40km off-road during this part of the trip is pretty rough. It will be during the last part of the day, and we'll go as slowly as needed.

The idea of this experience all started from how excited and happy my foreign close friends are to be invited to my parent's small house. To them, it's never only about mouthwatering food and good sips of rice wine, but also about what's being preserved in every Vietnamese dinner. Away from the old quarter, I'll walk you around the neighborhood and to our rooftop if it's not too hot for a glimpse into common life in Hanoi. Then we'll head for dinner at my Mom's place, squeeze in our small but cozy space for great bites and chat. Dinner will be customized each week. "You can smell the gifts of Kim Oanh's seasoned hands long before stepping into the doorway at the end of the hall. To sit at her table is to feel at home. To say you are not hungry is a lie, her food is so yummy that you can grow an extra stomach or two. Her husband will offer you a sip or two...or three of strong rice wine. Take it, you only live once. I don’t have blood family in Hanoi, but I know I always have a true family dinner waiting just a phone call away. Thanks Cô!!!" - Lucy Sexton from the US This experience is more like a close-friend experience. With that certain level of intimacy, we hope you don't mind leaving your shoes outside, sitting on the floor with us, squeezing in for dinner.

There are 2 times when you can do the tour: - 10.30am - 1.30pm - 6pm - 9pm Time can be adjusted for private reservations or text me to check. Meeting point is in the old quarter or let me know if you want to be picked up at your hotel/ stay. We have a big culture of street food in Vietnam, which makes street life here so vibrant and unique. If you love food and want to learn more about Vietnamese cuisine, culture, history, life style, this tour is for you. Taking the food tour with a private local guide is a perfect way to explore our cuisine and culture. It's my great pleasure to help you explore my homeland, not just as an experienced local guide but as a passionate story teller. Recommended to take it on the first day of your trip. We'll walk around the old quarter of Hanoi and try the dishes which you have to try, 6 - 8 dishes. They can be street food or in hidden eateries, cooked by skillful local chefs. You can see the process of cooking, learn about our cuisine, history and culture. It's not simply a food tour, it's about our culture and life style, introduced to you in the comparison with cultures of countries I visited. Although most Vietnamese dishes contain meat, there are still options for vegetarians in this tour. Please let me know in advance for any specific requirements, if you are vegans/ vegetarians or allergic to any kind of food

Firstly, please kindly note: Vietnamese cuisine frequently uses meat as one of the main ingredients. Therefore, vegan food is NOT available and vegetarian food is only available as long as you can eat fish sauce but it is still a bit limited choices for vegetarians. There are 2 times of the day that you can join: +++ Lunch time: 10AM - 1PM +++ Dinner time: 6PM - 9PM We will spend 3 hours walking around every single corners of Hanoi Old Quarter where we can seat on a small plastic stool on the pavement and taste all the best street foods.

Beside that, it will be a chance for us to introduce the Vietnamese cultures and share the tips of travelling in Vietnam.

Other things to note: Coming hungry to try all the best foods.
