“Das Markterlebnis war sehr authentisch und der Gemüsehof war einfach zauberhaft. Sehr guter Familienbetrieb. Die Führung die wir bekommen haben war super informativ und man merkte, dass es sich hier um vollprofis ihres Faches handelte. Wir konnten viele Kräuter frisch vom Feld probieren. Die Aromen waren extrem intensiv. Eine wundervolle Erfahrung war für mich außerdem einen Wasserbüffel streicheln zu können. Unglaublich friedvolle und zugleich starke Tiere. Der anschließende Kochkurs hat extrem Laune gemacht. Es war schon toll die Prozesse hinter den angebotenen alltäglichen Speisen von Vietnam kennenzulernen. Wir waren von der Tour begeistert und können diese uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.Read more”
