    A group of mostly medical students took us around the different districts of their home city while providing insides into the regional preferences and local specialties. They were all very passionate, fun and helpful having the chemistry of a group of young friends. My driver would steer us closer to dogs to say hello which was more than welcome. Every food stop was delicious and accompanied by a loving description and background that helped us feel immersed in the culture

    I was nervous about getting on the scooter but Starlight was a great guide and it was an unforgettable experience visiting out of the way eateries and colourful markets and learning about Vietnamese culture and history through its food. Highly recommended.
