Thanh is an amazing local tour guide! The tour ended up just being me, so she picked me up from my homestay (with a helmet!) and we went to the markets together. We tried a variety of dishes, while also walking around and learning more about both the markets and vietnamese culture. She is easy to talk to and understand and a very engaging tour guide. She also helped me buy a couple of things to take home from the vendors, ensuring I got the best price. I had a really lovely morning with Thanh and I would 110% recommend this tour for anyone wanting to try a variety of vietnamese dishes and/or explore what is the biggest market in Hue. With so many vendors she will take you to the best spots for each thing you want to try. Thank you again Thanh, for what has been one of my favourite things I have done in my 3 weeks in Vietnam so far.
Very impressed … she was great
Our well informed guide Thanh took us on a fascinating journey through what seems a simple market. She told the story of Hue's emperors, the construction and spiritual history and its current place in contemporary Hue society. Then there was the food! I got to try amazing local specially dumplings I never works have known to try on my own. We finished up with a classic salt coffee in the trendy upstairs coffee shop. Great experience. Thanks Thanh!
Thanh was very informative and friendly - we enjoyed visiting different foodstalls to sample different dishes. Having an iced coconut coffee at the end was great too.
Thanh was a great guide, she showed me 3 different dishes including Bun bo Hue (beef noodles), shrimp pancakes and a traditional Che Hue. All from small vendors in the Cho Dong Ba market which we navigated very well. Thanh gave good insight into which fruits are good at different times of year, and she showed me some of the smaller snacks like dried watermelon seeds and some interesting flavoured teas. We ended our tour with a great salted coffee in the cafe upstairs. Thanh has a charming personality and is striving to develop even further into giving great tours around Hue, expanding from food and culture into history too!
