Terry and Dave Markle, of Saratoga, CA

Sherri and Bill Appell, of Toronto, Ontario
"Lemongrass Tours outdid themselves. Diep, their national guide, is a Vietnam national treasure. Annie and Nora are the ideal blend of facts, hands-on know-how, cultural savvy, enthusiasm, beyond-the-call-of-duty shopping, tireless in their attention to details, flexibility, adaptability and individual traveler pampering. Whatever you want, they do everything to deliver."
Judy Cullen, of Guelph, Ontario and Ocean Ridge, FL
"Traveling through Vietnam with Diep, Nora and Annie was wonderful. They are easygoing and open to suggestions. The two cooking classes were well planned and very educational. They enhanced our enjoyment and increased our knowledge of the food we ate, and ate, and ate. We are already itching to head back to Hanoi."
Rakesh and Archna Anands of Kinston, N.C. and Vancouver, British Columbia
"How can you not be smitten by a country whose national food is chicken noodle soup? Seriously, the restaurants are wonderful, the fusion of French and Vietnamese talents creating countless surprises and shoppers have a field day buying lacquer ware, silk goods, paintings, porcelain, arts and crafts."
Arlene Perly Rae, of Toronto, Ontario
"Vietnam is a lovely country to visit with beautiful, friendly people and fascinating history – both ancient and modern, We ate delicious food at a host of restaurants without once having to wrestle with a menu. We could never have found these places by ourselves and together with the market visits and cooking classes they added a whole other dimension to the trip"
Pat and John Hardy, of Toronto, Ontario
