Hey there, I'm Mike Ngo, and I'm thrilled to be your host on this incredible journey through Vietnam. As a seasoned tour guide with a deep passion for my country's culture, cuisine, and history, I'm not just here to show you around—I'm here to immerse you in the heart and soul of Vietnam.
Whether it is sitting down at a cozy family table surrounded by the warm hospitality of locals to a professional hands-on coffee workshop where you'll learn the secrets behind Vietnam's world-renowned coffee culture, you will leave Hanoi with a newfound appreciation for Vietnam and the people here.
It starts from a desire to bridge the gap between tourists and Vietnamese culture. Witnessing the disconnect between delicious home-cooked meals and the typical tourist experience sparked a passion, I envisioned a platform where travelers could delve deeper, savoring Vietnamese cuisine alongside the stories and traditions that brought it to life.
My greatest joy with Dine With Locals comes from witnessing the connections forged over shared meals and breaking down cultural barriers through the language of food. Every conversation filled with laughter and newfound understanding is a testament to the power of Dine With Locals. Interacting with customers, hearing their stories of discovery and appreciation for Vietnamese culture, fuels my passion to keep creating these unique culinary experiences.
