The tour, which lasts 14 days and 13 nights at US$3,755 per person, will offer tourists travel and food experiences in HCM City, the Mekong Delta, Central Highlands and Da Lat City, the central coastal cities of Da Nang, Hoi An and Hue, the capital Ha Noi and Ha Long Bay.

The company has co-operated with tourism expert Diep Nguyen, who worked with Bourdain in Parts Unknown shootings in 2016 in Viet Nam, to organise the tour.

Tourists will have a chance to enjoy special food in Viet Nam that chef Bourdain loved.

Tourists will not only travel to places where he visited but also have an opportunity to sit and eat at the very tables he used in 2016.

“The experience of a lifetime not only helped me understand the man himself but how his love for my beautiful Việt Nam developed over good food and conversation,” said Diep Nguyen. “To say thanks and pay tribute to Anthony Bourdain, the trip is everything I would like to offer for everyone who loves him, falls for, or is curious about, Việt Nam, and, of course, loves our food.”

The celebrity chef and author committed suicide in France on June 8, 2018.
