Follow in Anthony Bourdain’s Footsteps With This Food Tour of Vietnam

Travelers will be greeted on the first night with a welcome clay pot rice dinner at the Com Nieu Saigon restaurant, which was one of Bourdain’s stops in Vietnam. The next day, after checking out Saigon’s Chinatown and having lunch at the famous Lunch Lady restaurant, you’ll attend an acrobat show at the Opera House. On day three, you’ll leave for Ben Tre in the Mekong Delta (also known as the “green Venice” of Vietnam), where you’ll cruise along the Chet Say River. Once you arrive in Hanoi (day 10), you’ll dine at the same restaurant where Bourdain broke bread with Barack Obama — a meal that includes bun cha, a Hanoian noodle specialty. You’ll also, obviously, be eating a ton of street food.

Other highlights of the tour include exploring the well-preserved ancient, UNESCO World Heritage town of Hoi An, checking out the seven-story Thien Mu Pagoda in Hue, and taking a scooter tour through Phung Hung street in Hanoi, famous for its beautiful mural paintings.

Tours start at $3,755 per person. For more details on how to follow in Bourdain’s footsteps in Vietnam, check out the tour itinerary.
