as a canadian vietnamese who is super white washed, its interesting to learn about my native country. Its an odd feeling being westernized but never really feeling like you fully belong. I feel like i left a part of my soul in vietnam and I need to go back one day to find it. The vietnamese tour guide is awesome, really knows his stuff
You won’t feel like you really belong in Vietnam either. I know from first hand as an American Vietnamese living in Vietnam for the past few years lol.
Give it a chance bro and you will not be disappointed.But you sure need a local tour guide if you didn‘t know anything about the place.The food will blown your mind!!
It's all now coming back to me, and everything is just like a dream ... the spectacular lantern festival in HoiAn, the thrill of walking on the Golden Bridge in BaNa Hills ... the magnificent scenery of Ha Long Bay, the breathtaking limestone mountains in Ninh Binh, the beautiful chaos of Ho Chi Minh City, and the amazing authentic Vietnamese food! It is so green over there, it's just unforgettable.
I'm Vietnamese myself and my father comes from the North. I'm down with his knowledge and experience when he's sharing them with tourists. Absolutely great.
You guys got a really great tour guide. He knows very well about Hanoi's culture, history, cuisine... And all he saids is very easy to understand. Hope you guys enjoin your trip in Vietnam 🇻🇳 Edit 1: I'm Hanoian or Ha Noier after 2008 (Hatay merged into Hanoi). Still many things i don't know about Hanoi, these videos helped me understand a lot.
@@tomeynotes I'm from Hanoian too but after 2008 (Hatay merged into Hanoi). So many things i still don't know about Hanoi. If i'm a foreign and after watching this video. 100% he's a tour guide that i want. Such a funny, witty and knowledgeable guy.
That tour guide was awesome! What a great food tour. He was great at explaining all the details and his English was very good. Awesome video. Thank you!
What I love about Vietnamese people is despite how difficult and bloody their even recent history has been, there's no bitterness or victimhood mentality. Also, food looks amazing. Can't wait to go myself.
Maybe not the people who lived in Vietnam so much as the ones whom escaped. You'll see bitter comments from them all over youtube from all over the world. LOL

One thing that many people misunderstood is "Bun bo Nam Bo" is not actually the original food of the South. The word "Nam Bo" is translated as Southern Vietnam but "Nam Bo" in this dish is the former name of a street in Hanoi which is Le Duan (the street has the train station) Anyway, very nice video and thank the vietnamese tour guide a lot for introducing the cuisine of our country
Bạn guide nói đúng, chỉ là bạn ấy nói chưa đủ ý. "Bún Bò Nam Bộ" thực chất là "Bún Bò Xào", nó đúng là được bắt nguồn từ Miền Nam. "Nam Bộ" là một phố cũ của Hà Nội, và quán Bún Bò Nam Bộ ở Hàng Điều ngày nay chính là quán cũ di chuyển đến, nhưng nó không phải là xuất sứ của "Bún Bò Xào - Bún Bò Nam Bộ".
Check out Max McFarlin. He has a full exhaustive list of Vietnamese cuisine from many regions of Vietnam. If you have come to fall in love with Vietnamese food, definitely check him out. Btw, you have a very good tour guide. He's so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He knows what he's doing. Watching this video makes I miss Hanoi so much. Have fun and take care while traveling ☺️🇻🇳
Anh chàng hướng dẫn ấy nói tiếng anh thật tuyệt, tôi mong 1 hay 2 năm tôi sẽ nói tốt như anh ấy Chúc các bạn một kì nghỉ vui vẻ ❤️😁 Chào mừng đến với đất nước Việt Nam
There is an alternative explanation for the origin of the first dish you tried, "bun bo Nam Bo," which some believe to be more accurate. According to this version, the dish was first created by a local family restaurant or food vendor located on a street in Hanoi's Hoan Kiem district called "Nam Bo," which translates to "Southern." This name has caused confusion among many people who assume that the dish must have originated in the southern region of Vietnam or been prepared in a southern style. Despite the confusion, the guide who introduced you to the dish was both entertaining and knowledgeable. As a Hanoian, I appreciate your open-mindedness towards exploring the culinary delights that Hanoi has to offer. As someone who has hosted friends from overseas, I know how frustrating it can be when they complain about small details like messy or dirty surroundings. I commend you for your positive attitude and willingness to embrace new experiences. Keep up the awesome attitude!
Xin chao! Great to see you guys enjoy in Hanoi. Love that! Laos n Vietnam are brothers. We've shared traditional and culture together. The most favorable food for both Lao n vietnamese is Pho.
Thanks for doing such a fantastic series! We took many of your recommendations on our trip to Vietnam a couple of weeks ago. The best part was that we booked Ha Food Tours and Chris was our guide! He had apparently left the tourism industry when Vietnam had been closed for COVID and he told us that, when you posted your video, he took it as a sign that he should return to doing what he loved - sharing this beautiful country and city with others! His tour was fantastic. We also met another couple while staying at Tam Coc Sunshine Homestay that stayed there because of your video! Keep up the great work, and we look forward to copying your itinerary on future trips!
That's so awesome to hear Chris is back! He was made for this! Wow that makes our day hearing they stayed there because of our video! Thanks for letting us know that, it gave us chills 🥰 It means a lot! Hope you enjoyed your trip!
Love your video. What makes your videos standout is the interaction with the locals and the nuggets of information you get from them. Not just a sight seeing video. Great work.
I really like the tour guy, he makes the connection between two cultures are easier for the tourist. Never been in northern part of my country but it could be one day. Missed my SG childhood
good guide... most food review only show you the good side of the city. this guide shows you both the good and the bad sides. I enjoyed a little history or story of each part....
Ah...that egg coffee!!!! We were there 2 years ago and we loved it. Funny to see you guys sitting at same table 2 years later :). Vietnam was very nice. We did North to South in about 3 weeks and the only place we thought we could have skipped was Dalat (although we did eat super nice food at the restaurant nearby the Crazy House). Ninh Binh and Ha Long Bay are truly beautiful. ps. Vietnamese people that we met were all super nice and amazingly almost everybody we met spoke English.
It's interesting you didn't like Da Lat since a lot of people love it...maybe it's the cooler weather they love. LOL! I know Max McFarlin moved there and he loves it a lot.
FYI The cooking style of Bun Bo Nam Bo is not Southern. The dish Bun Bo Nam Bo originated in Hanoi. The first store was established on what was once Nam Bo Street but is now Le Duan Street, therefore the owner gave it the name as Bun Bo Nam Bo. People are now got confused about it because of this.
the dude who introduce the "Bun Bo Nam Bo", he got it wrong. "Bun Bo Nam Bo" actually is a Beef Noodle recipe from a restaurant which was located in street call "Nam Bộ" (old name for Lê Duẩn Street). Most people in Hanoi got it wrong so cant blame him
Bạn guide nói đúng, chỉ là bạn ấy nói chưa đủ. "Bún Bò Nam Bộ" thực chất là "Bún Bò Xào", nó đúng là được bắt nguồn từ Miền Nam. "Nam Bộ" là một phố cũ của Hà Nội, và quán Bún Bò Nam Bộ ở Hàng Điều ngày nay chính là quán cũ di chuyển đến, nhưng nó không phải là xuất sứ của "Bún Bò Xào".
Wow you really struck gold with the tour guide! Being a Hanoian born and raised for 22 years, I myself do not know a lot of the info he was presenting to you and I’m fully fascinated by them. I feel like I should be taking notes throughout the whole video 😂
You are always welcomed in Vietnam. It's really warm hearted to see foreign tourists develop interest and fall in love with Vietnam, especially Hanoi for the first time they come there. As a Hanoi citizen i wish you guys all the best and a great experience in Hanoi. And don't forget to make a video about places in Hanoi. I highly reccomment visiting West lake (since i live there🤣), its really beautiful at the time
this tour guide is wonderful. wonderful. very nice and very polite. I like him so much, I am surely going to contact him when I go to hanoi. thank you.
Wow, I really respect how much you have eaten all these food and kept learning too! I am Vietnamese but I would not be able to eat all the Bun in a row like that! 😃
Welcome to my peaceful country Vietnam. Hope u had a great moment. It's been 7 years I couldnt come back my country. Even though I am living in Canada but always watch video about my hometown. Really appreciate it ❤️
You're too kind! Thanks so much! We are coming back and can't wait to explore more! Plan to travel there again starting in November 🤫 Any suggestions would be wonderful!
@@SammyandTommy Oh, so happy to hear you guys are coming back to Vietnam later this year. I've been watching videos the last week and I've got recommendations for you based upon the videos I've seen. LOL! Check out the videos from "Shot in the Dark Travels" as they are having the most amazing time here with their parents, I don't think you've been to Sa Pa (trek with the local minorities, glass bridge, Fansipan, waterfalls, etc.), do the Ha Giang Loop (check out LukePalms, CularTravels, and Paddy Doyle videos..."Jammy Bits" are putting out great videos of their motorbiking right now), Cat Ba Island (check out the video from "Jamie and Hannah" and I recall Max McFarlin staying at a really cool place outside the city there years ago), Da Lat (tons of stuff to do around there), Phu Quoc has tons of things to do around there ("Chase and Shelbs" just made a video from there, but there's WAY more stuff to do there like these things recommended by another viewer: take the cable car linking the main island of Phu Quoc to Hom Thom Island ( Pineapple Island) and visit the Safari park, the Aquarium, the Aquapark, VinWonders theme park, Khem Beach, Starfish Beach (NOT Star Beach), Ho Quoc pagoda, the tropical forest, the pepper and cashew nut plantations and pearl farms). Also hit up Nha Trang (mud bath, canonying, ruins, etc.), Phong Nha for single or multi-day caving, guided Mekong Delta tour ("The Passport Couple" did this, I think? Might have been another couple as I've forgotten...but there is one where you wear the traditional Vietnamese garb and go mud fishing), etc.
Sammy and Tommy definitely have a way of making videos that others can't touch yet. Very professionally done. However, there are other youtubers putting out great videos (may not be as beautifully edited as Sammy and Tommy's, though). Other interesting videos I've seen are "Jammy Bits" whom are motorbiking across Vietnam right now, "Shot in the Dark Travels" whom are having the time of their life in Vietnam, "Chase and Shelbs", "Flora and Note" (last year's videos), "2Passports 1Dream" (also from last year), etc. And since you mentioned Paddy, I assume you're interested in the Ha Giang Loop, so check out "LukePalms" and CularTravels. "Alright Anton!" has put out some great drone videos from Ninh Binh and Hue and such. Oh, and do food tours in every city you can...great tour guides I've seen are from "Steph and Pete" in Hoi An, MomDuty and "Flora and Note" in Hanoi, and "Chase and Shelbs" in HCMC/Saigon.
@@SammyandTommy Hi! May I ask if I could have your tour guide (Chris)’s contact? Thanks in advance. You guys must have had a great time in Hanoi. The food is definitely best.
Amazing video. Just found you guys !!! Starting your playlist on Vietnam, as we are going at the en of February 2025. Looking into that food tour. so many to choose from... can you tell me which one you took as it looks amazing!!!? Thanks. ! Binge watching your channel !!!
Excellent video and very informative, and thank you for sharing the video... Sammy... bright, intelligent and attractive, and very articulate... Once again..., excellent video, and thank you for sharing the video... I miss Vietnam... " Semper Fi " Mike in Montana :)
@@SammyandTommy Hi Sammy and Tommy & Mom (Jackie) and Dad (Tom)..., I love your videos and excellent information... I am doing well in Montana..., except the "Yellowstone River" is overflowing and flooding "Yellowstone National Park" in Montana and Wyoming. Many small towns surrounding "Yellowstone National Park" are flooding and floating away ( e.g., homes, buildings, businesses, schools, apartments, small community health centers or hospitals, and anything in its way, etc. ). "Yellowstone National Park" is ( CLOSED ), and the small towns ( e.g., Gardiner, Silver Gate, Cooke City, and Red Lodge, Montana, etc. ) are in real trouble with flooding and ( CLOSED) for residents and tourist businesses... * Employees are ( hurting ), too... A little information for you: ( FYI ): "Yellowstone National Park" is the oldest national park in the world and covers 2,219,785 acres. The United States government established "Yellowstone National Park" in 1872. I enjoy ( history ) and "Yellowstone National Park" is history and one massive park with lots of wildlife... * I am doing well..., except for "PTSD" from the Vietnam War and classified missions... My wife passed away last year from lung cancer and bone cancer (excruciating pain), and I flirt a little..., for which I do apologize... * Again, excellent videos and very informative, and thank you for sharing the videos... Your friend always.., " Semper Fi " Mike O'Brien in historic Butte, Montana P.S.: Your whole family is always ( Welcome ) in Montana... Mike :)
Wow what a great tour you guys did, full of local experiences! That egg coffee looks sooo creamy, I'd love to try 😁.. The food looks so delicious too, I'm hungry now 😅.. Awesome video!
Your guide is good, he didn't bring you in the shops too close from Hoàn Kiếm lake. Anyway, if you still in Hà Nội and you're not afraid about 100% local way to live, ask him to visit Hoàng Mai district 😉
You'd love Dalat if you like fresh fruit and colder temperatures and hills n French towns, Also Sapa for beautiful rice patties with sunset views and indigenous culture. or Nha trang for beach resorts and mud baths, or Danang for dragon bridge that breathes fire with night market food and nearby Hoi An with ancient villages and later festivals on the river!!! there's other amazing cities but idk how much time you have.
Nice and fun video, keep up with the great work 😊 Glad to know your chanel through this Ha Noi video, thanks for sharing! I can't wait to visit Ha Noi again soon :) Love to watch your beautiful family time, you all are wonderful and Sammy is lovely with her nature personalities too 💖 Overall, so enjoyable video!!! P/s: You have it all such a fun and oustanding video 👍
Vietnam is a freedom country, you can eat, walk, sleep whatever/whenever you like. NO RULES, people are free to do whatever they feel like. Look at Vietnam's traffic, people drive/walk however they feel like. Beautiful and fun country to visit or live in.
Thank you so much Sammy and Tommy for this very interesting video. We are visiting Vietnam next month and your videos will serve as a big help for our visit. Can't wait to watch more of your travels. P.S. Sammy, I love that even though you're a vegetarian, you're an open minded person because you still tried other dishes with meat even in small quantities. Bravo!
When I see this Video, a new Tet Holiday is going back in Việt Nam 🇻🇳! There are about 5 days to Tet Holiday. Today my wife and sons has just bought a beautiful Đào flowers for Tet. The air of Tet is around over here! Welcome to Việt Nam 🇻🇳!
Food looked amazing, so much flavour and lovely fresh ingredients. Excellent guide too - I'd definitely be interested in checking that tour out if the guide was up for doing a veggie food version!
I can really learn about the history, the culture as well as the cuisine from this video. He's a very professionl guide! Thank you for sharing with us!

No need to give a hugely long answer but I absolutely loved dalat so I’m super interested what you disliked
It's interesting you didn't like Da Lat since a lot of people love it...maybe it's the cooler weather they love. LOL! I know Max McFarlin moved there and he loves it a lot.
@@doodahgurlie yes I really enjoyed the cooler weather man it was a welcome break from the humidity and heat in Ho Chi Minh
FYI
The cooking style of Bun Bo Nam Bo is not Southern. The dish Bun Bo Nam Bo originated in Hanoi. The first store was established on what was once Nam Bo Street but is now Le Duan Street, therefore the owner gave it the name as Bun Bo Nam Bo. People are now got confused about it because of this.
What a great, tasty and interesting tour with that nice guide! have a great time there!

You're too kind! Thanks so much! We are coming back and can't wait to explore more! Plan to travel there again starting in November 🤫 Any suggestions would be wonderful!
@@SammyandTommy Oh, so happy to hear you guys are coming back to Vietnam later this year. I've been watching videos the last week and I've got recommendations for you based upon the videos I've seen. LOL! Check out the videos from "Shot in the Dark Travels" as they are having the most amazing time here with their parents, I don't think you've been to Sa Pa (trek with the local minorities, glass bridge, Fansipan, waterfalls, etc.), do the Ha Giang Loop (check out LukePalms, CularTravels, and Paddy Doyle videos..."Jammy Bits" are putting out great videos of their motorbiking right now), Cat Ba Island (check out the video from "Jamie and Hannah" and I recall Max McFarlin staying at a really cool place outside the city there years ago), Da Lat (tons of stuff to do around there), Phu Quoc has tons of things to do around there ("Chase and Shelbs" just made a video from there, but there's WAY more stuff to do there like these things recommended by another viewer: take the cable car linking the main island of Phu Quoc to Hom Thom Island ( Pineapple Island) and visit the Safari park, the Aquarium, the Aquapark, VinWonders theme park, Khem Beach, Starfish Beach (NOT Star Beach), Ho Quoc pagoda, the tropical forest, the pepper and cashew nut plantations and pearl farms). Also hit up Nha Trang (mud bath, canonying, ruins, etc.), Phong Nha for single or multi-day caving, guided Mekong Delta tour ("The Passport Couple" did this, I think? Might have been another couple as I've forgotten...but there is one where you wear the traditional Vietnamese garb and go mud fishing), etc.
Sammy and Tommy definitely have a way of making videos that others can't touch yet. Very professionally done. However, there are other youtubers putting out great videos (may not be as beautifully edited as Sammy and Tommy's, though). Other interesting videos I've seen are "Jammy Bits" whom are motorbiking across Vietnam right now, "Shot in the Dark Travels" whom are having the time of their life in Vietnam, "Chase and Shelbs", "Flora and Note" (last year's videos), "2Passports 1Dream" (also from last year), etc. And since you mentioned Paddy, I assume you're interested in the Ha Giang Loop, so check out "LukePalms" and CularTravels. "Alright Anton!" has put out some great drone videos from Ninh Binh and Hue and such. Oh, and do food tours in every city you can...great tour guides I've seen are from "Steph and Pete" in Hoi An, MomDuty and "Flora and Note" in Hanoi, and "Chase and Shelbs" in HCMC/Saigon.
If you guys are still in Vietnam now, please go to Danang city and Hoi An ancient town as well. It is great beach city and elegant town to come
Thanks for the great recommendations friend 🤗
I enjoy your video. It feels like I was there and enjoyed the day with you guys. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! We appreciate it 💖🤗
I love your tour guide. He's such a fun person.
I think we will book his tour for January, when we will travel to Vietnam.
Chris was excellent and very fun! Thanks for watching!
You should they are an excellent company!
@@SammyandTommy Hi! May I ask if I could have your tour guide (Chris)’s contact? Thanks in advance. You guys must have had a great time in Hanoi. The food is definitely best.
Amazing video. Just found you guys !!! Starting your playlist on Vietnam, as we are going at the en of February 2025. Looking into that food tour. so many to choose from... can you tell me which one you took as it looks amazing!!!? Thanks. ! Binge watching your channel !!!
He is the best tour guide i have ever seen
No doubt, he was excellent!
Excellent video and very informative, and thank you for sharing the video... Sammy... bright, intelligent and attractive, and very articulate... Once again..., excellent video, and thank you for sharing the video... I miss Vietnam... " Semper Fi " Mike in Montana :)
Thanks for so many kind words Mike 🤗 So happy to hear you're enjoying the videos! Hope you're doing well in Montana!
@@SammyandTommy Hi Sammy and Tommy & Mom (Jackie) and Dad (Tom)..., I love your videos and excellent information... I am doing well in Montana..., except the "Yellowstone River" is overflowing and flooding "Yellowstone National Park" in Montana and Wyoming. Many small towns surrounding "Yellowstone National Park" are flooding and floating away ( e.g., homes, buildings, businesses, schools, apartments, small community health centers or hospitals, and anything in its way, etc. ). "Yellowstone National Park" is ( CLOSED ), and the small towns ( e.g., Gardiner, Silver Gate, Cooke City, and Red Lodge, Montana, etc. ) are in real trouble with flooding and ( CLOSED) for residents and tourist businesses... * Employees are ( hurting ), too... A little information for you: ( FYI ): "Yellowstone National Park" is the oldest national park in the world and covers 2,219,785 acres. The United States government established "Yellowstone National Park" in 1872. I enjoy ( history ) and "Yellowstone National Park" is history and one massive park with lots of wildlife... * I am doing well..., except for "PTSD" from the Vietnam War and classified missions... My wife passed away last year from lung cancer and bone cancer (excruciating pain), and I flirt a little..., for which I do apologize... * Again, excellent videos and very informative, and thank you for sharing the videos... Your friend always.., " Semper Fi " Mike O'Brien in historic Butte, Montana P.S.: Your whole family is always ( Welcome ) in Montana... Mike :)

Thanks for sharing. Very educational. Loved this video!
I just wondered if you were able to sleep after those coffee, excited for my trip to Hanoi in November
Thanks to the tour guide, ur vid has inspired me alot about Hanoi !
He was the perfect introduction to Vietnam food and history! We were so happy to have our tour with him on our first day in Hanoi!

Wow!! That’s so sweet, thank you you so much 🤗💖
Wow what a great tour you guys did, full of local experiences! That egg coffee looks sooo creamy, I'd love to try 😁.. The food looks so delicious too, I'm hungry now 😅.. Awesome video!
We were very lucky to get such a great tour guide! The egg coffee is to die for ☠️ Thanks for watching! Better late then never 😉 Jk
@@SammyandTommy haha of course, you guys are on fire! 😁
Your guide is good, he didn't bring you in the shops too close from Hoàn Kiếm lake. Anyway, if you still in Hà Nội and you're not afraid about 100% local way to live, ask him to visit Hoàng Mai district 😉
I love your food your video. I am glad your guys enjoyed the food. 👍
Thanks so much 🤗 We love the food!
Your guide was fantastic and now I'm hungry and keen to try all these interesting Vietnamese foods and drinks 🤤
Chris was the best 💯! The food is amazing 🤤 You gotta try!

Hope you guys make more videos about Vietnam.
Don’t worry way more to come!
This tour guys is dope!. Very funny.
He was the best!
Welcome to Vietnam!! Hope you guys have fun here!!
Thanks so much 🤗
You'd love Dalat if you like fresh fruit and colder temperatures and hills n French towns, Also Sapa for beautiful rice patties with sunset views and indigenous culture. or Nha trang for beach resorts and mud baths, or Danang for dragon bridge that breathes fire with night market food and nearby Hoi An with ancient villages and later festivals on the river!!! there's other amazing cities but idk how much time you have.
Wow so many great recommendations! Thank you so much! Can’t wait to explore more of this beautiful country!
Vietnam on March 15 fully reopened for international tourism after almost two years. Now it's time to do part 2 :D
Fabulous video, and brilliant tour guide. really enjoyed watching you’re experiences in Hanoi, can’t wait to get back there. Safe Travels.
Thanks Clare! Chris was excellent 💯 Thanks for being here!
What tour agency is he with? He is very good in explaining the history of food etc... please share his info.
He was excellent! Ha Food Tours is linked in the description box!
Nice and fun video, keep up with the great work 😊
Glad to know your chanel through this Ha Noi video, thanks for sharing! I can't wait to visit Ha Noi again soon :)
Love to watch your beautiful family time, you all are wonderful and Sammy is lovely with her nature personalities too 💖
Overall, so enjoyable video!!!
P/s: You have it all such a fun and oustanding video 👍
the lemony taste in the sugarcane juice come from the kumquat we put in to cut down the sweetness
Oh good to know! It was so delicious! 🤗
Yep, it's to counter the sweetness and also adds another dimension to the aroma. It's delicious!
Vietnam is a freedom country, you can eat, walk, sleep whatever/whenever you like. NO RULES, people are free to do whatever they feel like. Look at Vietnam's traffic, people drive/walk however they feel like. Beautiful and fun country to visit or live in.
Thank you so much Sammy and Tommy for this very interesting video. We are visiting Vietnam next month and your videos will serve as a big help for our visit. Can't wait to watch more of your travels. P.S. Sammy, I love that even though you're a vegetarian, you're an open minded person because you still tried other dishes with meat even in small quantities. Bravo!
What a nice guide. so funny and informative. I want to go there now.
13:06->Last dynasty of vietnam was not put an end by french government, but vietnamese government(state of vietnam government)1n 1955.
Thanks for the clarification 👊
When I see this Video, a new Tet Holiday is going back in Việt Nam 🇻🇳! There are about 5 days to Tet Holiday. Today my wife and sons has just bought a beautiful Đào flowers for Tet. The air of Tet is around over here! Welcome to Việt Nam 🇻🇳!
Anh bạn hướng dẫn viên nhiệt tình phết. Thích cái năng lượng nhiệt huyết của anh ta :)))
He was so fun!
It’s great to see you guys again Sammy and Tommy. How is everything?
We are excellent thanks! How are you!
Never better! Thanks you guys for the video, it’s bring back a lot of memories of the good old days, I was amazed by how energetic of myself
you guys had a GREAT tour guide. dude was really cared about your experience.
Food looked amazing, so much flavour and lovely fresh ingredients. Excellent guide too - I'd definitely be interested in checking that tour out if the guide was up for doing a veggie food version!
It was amazing food! The guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable! Don’t miss it!
It’s a piece of cake for him, sure. There’re a lot of vegan restaurants there.
Chris was just superb! Total star of a tour guide. Great video and content (I do wish the video quality was better 🙂)
Wow, lot of coffee in 1 day and before bed 😂. Great video, thanks for sharing.
🤣 that’s exactly what I was thinking! The coffee is the best though! Thanks for watching!
I can really learn about the history, the culture as well as the cuisine from this video. He's a very professionl guide! Thank you for sharing with us!
Hello! It's a pleasure watching you guys having a good time in my beloved country. I wish you all the best and welcome to Vietnam 🇻🇳
So glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the warm welcome 🤗
Pure excellence! Tôi yêu Việt Nam (I love Vietnam)! When did you guys film this? Tết?
Thanks so much 🤗 Filmed in late January 👍
The lemon taste in the sugarcane juice comes from either kamquat or lime they mix in the juice
That makes sense. Thanks for the info 🤗
Dear friends, peace be upon you and may God bless you I often watch this video of yours. You make videos with a very cute style. You enjoy watching the video. Man does not feel bad at all. This is a very good work.
Thanks so much Jamil 👊
