While Matt and Gary shape the itinerary with their insider knowledge, your adventure will be brought to life each day by Luxury Escapes’ expert local guides — the ones who know every back alley, hidden market, and family recipe.

Begin your adventure in Hanoi with lunch at Michelin-starred Tầm Vī teahouse, where, as Gary explains, “North Vietnamese family recipes are elevated to Michelin status. ” Explore the city’s alleyways on a guided tour in what Matt calls “one of the best street food locations in the world. ”

Join a cooking class at KOTO, a social enterprise that has transformed over 1,500 young lives through hospitality training. Finish your time in Hanoi with dinner at GIA restaurant, which Matt describes as “a polished Michelin experience and a prime contender for the country’s best restaurant.”

The journey continues with a luxury cruise through Ha Long Bay’s limestone coves aboard the luxurious Lyra Grandeur. In Hoi An, enjoy dinner at Morning Glory Signature restaurant, famed for its authentic cuisine, nestled among colonial buildings and lantern-lit streets. Finally, head to Ho Chi Minh City for Matt and Gary’s meticulously researched banh mi tour, highlighting three legendary stalls, including Banh Mi Bay Ho and their 90-year-old recipe, as featured on Netflix’s Street Food.

Your culinary adventure culminates in a market-to-table cooking class with chefs of Hoa Tuc restaurant, followed by a final toast to your culinary odyssey with another Michelin-starred dinner – this time at Anan.

This is your chance to experience Vietnam the way culinary insiders do, uncovering dishes and traditions most travellers won’t find themselves.
