 Verified Heerlijke streetfoodtour gehad!
Een foodtour op maat. Heerlijk gegeten op plekken in Hanoi waar je normaal niet naartoe zou gaan. Er werd goed rekening gehouden met onze voorkeuren en de gids was top. Super kundig en vriendelijk. Een feest om op deze manier kennis te maken met de keuken van Vietnam
