“This was an absolutely wonderful tour of Michelin guide book restaurants and stalls.

Very flexible, as we asked if we could sample a very specific Vietnamese food cuisine not on the list, which they did - way above expectations. Barney even got us a gift of a food item in the convenience store after we discussed it. A very relaxed and enjoyable experience which we loved and we…”
