What a fun introduction to Saigon

Kris_S, Apr 2024

Did this on my first night in Vietnam and it was so fun. A friend visiting her family in Saigon joined me and she also had fun (even though the food was not new to her). Our guides were great. Educational along with fun. We arrived during Tet so they had to change the itinerary to accommodate the holiday and various closings -- they did a great job. Food was fun, riding the scooters all over city center also fun. Highly recommend

fun night for foodies

Clifton_B, Apr 2024

Adventurous! And Fun Food Tour!!

Jay_P, Apr 2024

It was wonderful! Our guide(s) took us to places that we would never be able to experience. They were happy and energetic! I was a bit concerned for the motorbike however felt very comfortable after a few minutes!

Loved this!

Stephanie_S, Apr 2024

Great experience with Ken. He was very friendly and personable, asking about us and sharing about himself. We tried things that we really enjoyed and we may not have found on our own. We had about six different dishes, not including a few beverages—our favorites were the savory pancake and mixed dry noodles. Highly recommend to any visitors.

Excellent street food tour with a touch of history

Kyung_H, Mar 2024

Phuoc(sic.) is a very nice guy. He always smiles and is very reliable. He knows the food in the market and knows how to lead tourists!

Amazing food Tour

Best part of Ho Chi Minh

Austin_C, Mar 2024

I recently went on a food tour in Ho Chi Minh, guided by the fantastic duo, Kayla and T. Their expertise, friendliness, and humor made the experience unforgettable. They complement each other perfectly, turning the tour into a delightful adventure through Vietnam’s culinary landscape. The selection of food spots was superb, blending cultural insights with delicious flavors. Kayla and T are a great team, and their pairing for future tours would guarantee an exceptional experience for anyone looking to explore Ho Chi Minh’s food scene. Highly recommended!

Bek_D, Feb 2024

My tour guide was amazing, the food was so good and I saw more of Ho Chi Minh than I thought I would. I really enjoyed the experience. My guide even sent me a list of food and sight seeing recommendations for me to check out on my own afterwards.

Highly Recommended

great food! great ride! great guides!

Berry_M, Feb 2024

It was the highlight of our stay in Saigon! We enjoyed riding on a scooter sitting behind our guides. We ate very well at different spots , learned about what was in each dish and also a bit of local history. We got to see the flower market and life in back alleys as well. Our guides went above and beyond and helped us figure out how to get to Ben Tre the next day! They took us to a bus station and helped us buy tickets. They were so thoughtful and kind! we are so grateful and so glad to have had such a wonderful experience in HoChi Minh City.

Fun and safe

Diana_F, Feb 2024

We wanted to experience the motorbike culture but didn’t want to drive it ourselves. I felt safe with our guide driving. It was also exhilarating going to different parts of the flower market and street food market. The food was very well planned and help gave us a sense of Vietnamese culture and cuisine.

A tour to remember

Stephen_M, Feb 2024

Amazing food tour with Minh and Mai. Learned some history, saw some monuments and ate our way around the city

Great eats with great company

Jasmin_D, Feb 2024

We had a wonderful time with Thao and Khai! Everything we ate was so delicious and we received some awesome recommendations for the other days we are lucky enough to spend here as well. It was also so much fun driving around on the bike without having to worry about the traffic! I highly recommend doing this when you visit Ho Chi Minh

Delicious Ho Chi Minh food tour!

Michael_B, Feb 2024

This was such a delicious tour! My tour guide, Ðàng Gia Phúc, was wonderful! He was a safe driver and put me at ease for my first scooter ride. He talked through all foods and was very patient! He helped me learn about Vietnam from a local. Thank you!

Super Saigon sightseeing

Emma_N, Feb 2024

The tour was top notch from start to finish! The car driver was found easily and very polite even though he spoke limited English. The journey was comfortable and water was provided. We then met our guides Phi and Steve who were outstanding from start to finish. They were knowledgeable , friendly and fun and the motorbike riding was totally thrilling… an experience that we will never forget! The food we tasted was fabulous and plentiful and our guides shared a lot of knowledge about the ingredients and tastes, we visited key sites in the city and gained valuable historical detail that we would have otherwise missed on our 1 day visit to the city. We can’t recommend this trip enough… it will be a memory that we will smile about for a very long time…. Book it! 😁

Great food, better company

KLIMENT_G, Feb 2024

The food was great but it was the company that made it unforgettable. Our guides Quang and Giang were wonderful people who showed us not only scoop on delicious taste but sat down and talked to us for what seemed was hours. Good food can be found anywhere but good company is priceless. We very highly recommend this tour

Incredible Experience

8ndq9twywx, Jan 2024

The motorbike food tour was incredible and highly recommend it to anyone looking for something new and fun to do. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the food, region and history. Make sure to bring an empty stomach as you’ll be eating delicious foods from across the city.
