US Embassy Officers' Taste of Vietnam with AN Tours' HCMC Food Tour
When a group of US Embassy officers approached us with a unique request for a HCMC food tour, including one member who did not consume pork, we were more than happy to rise to the challenge and create a customized experience that catered to their needs.
Understanding the importance of cultural immersion and the significance of food in Vietnamese culture, we were determined to ensure that every member of the group could fully enjoy the tour. Our team of expert guides and culinary specialists worked closely with the officers to design a food tour that not only showcased the diverse flavors of Vietnam but also provided a pork-free dining experience for the specific individual.
To add a touch of adventure to their HCMC food tour, our drivers picked them up with scooters, creating a thrilling mode of transportation through the bustling streets of the city. As they zipped through the traffic, they were able to fully immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere and witness the city’s dynamic energy up close. This exciting mode of transportation not only added a sense of excitement to their journey but also allowed them to navigate through the narrow alleys and hidden corners of the city, discovering hidden culinary gems that are often inaccessible by larger vehicles.
During their HCMC food tour with AN Tours Vietnam, a group of US embassy officers had the opportunity to participate in a delightful mini-cooking class. This hands-on experience allowed them to dive deeper into the culinary traditions of Vietnam and learn the secrets behind some of the country’s most beloved dishes.

At the last stop, they visited a bustling flower market. This vibrant marketplace offered a sensory feast of vivid colors and fragrant blooms. Among the array of flowers, the officers were captivated by the presence of lotus flowers, a cherished symbol of Vietnam’s national identity. Under the guidance of our knowledgeable local guide, they had the opportunity to engage in the art of lotus flower crafting. With careful attention to detail and a touch of creativity, they skillfully arranged delicate petals to fashion their own exquisite lotus blooms. This immersive experience not only provided a glimpse into Vietnamese culture but also allowed the officers to forge a deeper connection with the country’s customs and aesthetics.
