Premium 11-Day Vietnam Foodie Tour Co-Curated by Matt & Gary with Hanoi Cooking Class & Michelin-Starred Dining

Swap outdated guidebooks for real, on-the-ground research by experts with our Luxury Escapes’ exclusive Insider Series tour. This is your gateway to Vietnam’s culinary scene, co-curated by former MasterChef Australia judges Gary Mehigan and Matt Preston, and hosted by Luxury Escapes expert local guides. With select Insider Experiences – from Michelin-starred dining to a treasure hunt for Ho Chi Minh City’s best bánh mì – Matt and Gary have helped craft the ultimate small-group foodie adventure, paired with premium accommodation and unforgettable experiences.

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

The journey only gets better from there, with hands-on cooking classes, more decadent Michelin-starred dining, and a luxury cruise through Ha Long Bay’s stunning limestone coves. After each full day of discovery, unwind in elevated five-star accommodation — from the riverside Hotel Royal Hoi An Gallery, complete with a 60-minute massage and nightly free-flow drinks, to the heritage glamour of Caravelle Hotel Saigon. This is your chance to experience Vietnam the way culinary insiders do, uncovering dishes, traditions and hidden gems most travellers most travellers won’t find themselves.
