Hanoi Eat and Explore Tour – October 3rd, 2024


Sandra and Neil started their first visit to Vietnam with us on a beautiful autumn day. Forget the tourist traps - we took them to hidden gems they'd never find on their own, including a local market where they sampled unique food! And when the weather's this good, there’s no better way to explore than a cyclo ride through the lively streets - so much cooler than walking or driving!✨


The cherry on top? A fun mini conical hat painting workshop in a cosy teahouse where Sandra and Neil got their creative juices flowing. 🎨 They absolutely nailed it!


Ready to have some fun with us? Let’s go! 🌟

And then there’s Vietnamese coffee! ☕ Sandra was a bit hesitant to try it at first, it sounded pretty strange to her - egg coffee? But after that first sip, she was hooked! 😍 Now she can’t get enough of it!
