Vejo is an amazing guide! We have had a great time together, he has a very positive attide and a great sense of humor. The 4 hours went by very quickly! We learnt a lot about the food and the drinks we had. I loved the fact that we had local food and went to places that a tourist might not find (that quickly). Vejo knows what he is talking about and gave us a lot of insights. I will book Vejo again for another tour and definitely recommend him to my friends!

Catherine is well organized and messaged ahead of the tour start time with details. Catherine is very pleasant and her English is excellent like a native speaker. We are able to enjoy each food stop with good conversations with the three of us and Catherine. We came from different countries (Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore and US) and all of us enjoyed Catherine’s company with conversations like old friends. The food selection was excellent and people in Vietnam are friendly. We had private transportation pick up from our hotel to start the food tour. The walking part of the tour provided an authentic feel of the daily lives of Vietnamese people so this is an additional bonus as a sight-seeing tour. Overall I strongly recommend this food tour and Catherine made experience so much better and gratifying.
