Building on the success of Luke’s sold-out 2025 guided food tours with Intrepid, the new 2026 itinerary takes travellers on a nine-day journey from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City.

“We’re thrilled to be teaming up with Luke again,” said Yvette Thompson, ANZ GM Intrepid Travel. “His passion for Vietnamese cuisine and culture shines through in every moment of these trips.

“It’s the perfect blend of food, travel and connection – the kind of experience that stays with you long after you’ve returned home.”

Departing in June, the tours will showcase Vietnam’s food culture through street eats, Michelin-starred dining and hands-on cooking experiences. Travellers will be guided throughout by Luke and an Intrepid local leader.

Highlights include a private cooking class with Luke in Hoi An, dining at his new Hanoi restaurant Tran Dynasty and a farewell dinner at his Vietnam House in Ho Chi Minh City.

“Food is such a powerful way to connect with a place and its people,” said Luke.

“I’ve been travelling back to Vietnam for more than 15 years and partnering with Intrepid lets me share that side of the country in an authentic way, through my favourite language: food.”

Prices start from $6,410.
