Vegan Food Tour Ho Chi Minh City by Motorbike: 9 FoodsA private vegan food tour in Ho Chi Minh City by motorbike takes you through four districts to nine vegan stalls and markets, with an English-speaking guide, hotel pickup from District 1 or 3, and all food tastings included.

You choose the departure time to fit your schedule.Is it for me?If you're staying in District 1 or 3 without a car, the hotel pickup means you skip the taxi negotiation and the navigation—the guide handles both, and you arrive at each stall ready to eat instead of lost.
Sapa Trekking: Rice Terraces, Ethnic Villages & HomestayYou’ll trek through Sapa’s quieter valleys alongside a local guide, meet Hmong and Red Dzao villagers, try your hand at indigo dyeing, share home-cooked meals, and sleep in a traditional wooden house where mountain air drifts through at night. Expect laughter over dinner and views you’ll remember long after you’ve left.
Basket Boat in Hoi An: Crab Fishing & Nipa ForestA basket boat activity in Hoi An where you paddle through the Cam Thanh Water Coconut Forest and Bay Mau Nipa forest, fish for crabs alongside local fishermen, and watch traditional spinning boat demonstrations. Hotel pickup and drop-off, a guide in English, life jacket, umbrella, fresh fruit and bottled water are included; the experience runs about two hours.Is it for me?Two hours on the water leaves room for other activities in Hoi An the same day—the ancient town, the market, a cooking class—without eating up your afternoon. If you're picking up from Danang instead, budget the extra travel time and add $17 per person to the price.
Mua Xuan Nature Reserve tour: Boat cruise & forest walkA guided tour from Can Tho to Mua Xuan Nature Reserve combines a boat cruise through wetland canals, a climb to an observation tower for birdwatching, and a 30-minute forest walk, with an English-speaking guide, hotel pickup from central Can Tho hotels, and drinks provided. The reserve sits an hour's drive from the city and the full outing runs about five hours.Is it for me?Five hours is enough to reach the reserve, cruise the wetlands, climb the tower, walk the forest, and visit the bamboo village without cutting any of it short—the timing holds the whole day together so you're not choosing between the boat and the walk.
Hue Street Food Tour: Taste 8 Dishes with a Local GuideA 3-hour street food tour in Hue where you taste eight dishes—tapioca cakes, beef noodle soup, grilled pork skewers, tiny mussels rice and sweet soup—with an English-speaking guide who explains the culinary history and daily life behind each one. You choose between walking the streets or traveling by scooter with a driver; bottled water is included.Is it for me?Choose the walking option if you want to move at your own pace and stop longer at stalls that interest you; the scooter option covers more ground and works better if you want to rest between tastings. Either way, the guide handles finding the stops and explaining what you're eating, so you show up hungry and leave knowing how Hue actually eats.
Saigon & Cu Chi Tunnels Day Trip: War History, Local LunchYou’ll step straight into Saigon’s living history—crawl through the Cu Chi Tunnels with a local guide, taste simple tapioca under jungle trees, stand silent in the War Remnants Museum, and wander Ben Thanh Market’s chaos before heading back with new stories under your skin.

The farm visit is what makes the cooking real; you're not learning techniques in a studio kitchen, you're learning them with the ingredients you picked an hour earlier.

Choose it if you prefer to eat at vendors locals actually use, with someone who knows which ones are safe and worth your time.

Choose your own pickup time, pause for photos if you want, and arrive relaxed—whether from your hotel or straight from Noi Bai airport. There’s bottled water waiting and zero hassle along the way.
Dinner Cruise on Perfume River Hue: Dragon Boat with Folk MusicA dinner cruise on the Perfume River in Hue combines an 8-course meal of local specialties with live folk music and a lantern-releasing ceremony aboard a family-run dragon boat. You wear traditional Hue attire for photos, dine at a private table while the boat moves past the city's ancient monuments, and participate in the evening ritual of sending wishes down the river. The experience runs about two hours and includes one drink, all fees, and photos shared afterward.Is it for me?Book this if you want an evening that combines a full meal with cultural ritual rather than a quick sightseeing stop—the private table, the music, and the lantern ceremony give the night a shape that feels complete.
