At The Myst, you feel the heartbeat of this charismatic city - the scents, the scenes, the sounds and the tastes. Xin chào, you hear - welcome.

Program

You will start your tour in the north in Hanoi, where you spend three days finding out how to make rice paper and tofu, eating street food which is a Hanoi specialty, learning how to cook at Peta Mathias friend's house, and drinking the famous Hanoi fresh beer.

Then, you will fly to Hue to stay for two nights, which is like going from Paris to the south of France, where you will stay in an exquisite Art Deco La Residence hotel. Hue is the ancient imperial capital of Vietnam and is all about intricate imperial cuisine, fabulous imperial sites, and is a huge center for Buddhism.

Next, driving through the Hai Van tunnel and through the Marble Mountains and you will come to the town of Hoi An, one of the most exceptionally well preserved heritage towns in Vietnam. Here you will spend two days shopping, cooking, and visiting the beautiful old town and market.
