Meet your guide at the departure point. You will go to a secret eco-friendly coffee shop to get your briefing pitch. Here, you will also enjoy a demonstration of the preparation of an iconic drink: Vietnamese egg coffee (with a twist). Then, set off into the maze of alleys and eat a fried nem, standing on the street amongst the busy workers. Continue and stop at a famous pho stall to slurp up this world-renowned beef noodle soup. Next, try some banh ran (sweet fried sticky rice) and a real exotic experience: fried chicken legs (or wings for the less daring travelers). With these unique delights, you can enjoy a cultural stop at Hang Ma Street. This street is a key place for all Vietnamese: all year round, locals buy votive paper, lanterns, Christmas decorations, and more.

You will continue to the 'bamboo corner', a spot that has been around for decades. Complete your foodie tour with a classic Vietnamese sandwich (banh mi) at one of the most famous addresses for locals and travelers alike. ​​​​​​​Finally, your local gastronomy immersion will end with the most social activity in Vietnam: bia hoi. Grab a stool at the neighboring Bia Hoi Corner and watch the commotion as this spot comes to life in the evening while sipping a tall glass of cold local draft beer.

After your refreshing drink, your tour guide will bring you back to your hotel, or feel free to stay and enjoy more of Ta Hien Street by yourself for a fun evening out.
