    I recently joined the Ultimate 10-Day Vietnam Discovery tour operated by Up Travel Vietnam, and it was one of the best travel experiences I have ever had. We started in Ho Chi Minh City, exploring its vibrant energy through visits to the Cu Chi Tunnels and the War Remnants Museum, which gave us a powerful look into Vietnam’s history. The Mekong Delta day trip was another highlight. A huge thank-you to Hannah from Up Travel Vietnam, who handled every detail with care and professionalism. Communication was quick and clear, and she made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. Both local guides were excellent, always friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to help with anything we needed. The hotels were clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. Breakfasts were delicious, especially the pho and tropical fruits. All transfers and the internal flight were well coordinated, so we never felt rushed or worried. I highly recommend Up Travel Vietnam and Hannah to anyone planning a trip to Vietnam. The itinerary, organization, and personal touch made this a truly unforgettable journey.

    I had a really wonderful time at the cooking class! Jesse is warm, patient, and made the whole cooking experience fun and easy to follow. It was an interesting experience to go to the local market to pick fresh ingredients and learning how to prepare Vietnamese dishes step by step. The food is really delicious and I will recommend all to try it out. :)

    I'm really glad I took the time in Hanoi to join this cooking class - it was so much fun and the food was delicious!! First of hall, Cherry was very friendly and helpful with organizing my booking and pick-up at my hotel in the Old Quarter. Once the tour started, we were greeted by Thung at the local market. Throughout the day, Thung was a very knowledgeable and fun tour guide / master chef. He introduced us to the Vietnamese culture and cuisine and gave us lots of helpful advice how to prepare each dish including further variations. Thank you Cherry and Thung for this pleasant experience!
