Great culinary discovery! - Tony has a great knowledge of Vietnamese kitchen as well as an uncanny American accent (that he swears he got from Netflix).
Great food and great tour in a little traveled part of town.

HCMC personal food tour - Amazing food tour of HCMC with Tony! He was an exceptional guide, taking the time to get to know us while exploring the lovely food the city had to offer. The tour was very well crafted too - easing you in with some casual streetside eats before the culmination, where you will discover the wonderful tastes and fragrances of Vietnamese herbs. Thank you Tony!

Best walking tour I've been on since I've been touring this month. - Tony was an excellent host and tour guide. So very personable. The Ba Minh was such an impressive sandwich that I'll order that wherever I see it offered.

Amazing food experience with Tony! - We had an amazing tour with Tony last night in Saigon! He showed us places in District #3 we would have never seen on our own. It felt like we walked through the living rooms of the city's residents as we visited five street food vendors. Tony provided great insight into the food and people and shared history and insights about everything we ate. Each vendor was a master at their dish and the food was beyond fabulous! Our three 20+ grown kiddos loved the experience and it was a fantastic family adventure.

Foody night - Tony's Street Food Tour:
We had an absolutely fantastic experience on Tony's Street Food Tour! Tony truly knows the best places to go, taking us to hidden gems and local favorites that we would never have found on our own. Every stop along the way offered incredible food, bursting with authentic flavors and fresh ingredients.
Beyond just being a knowledgeable guide, Tony was a pleasure to talk to—friendly, engaging, and full of interesting insights about the local cuisine and culture. His excellent English made communication effortless, which was a huge help for me and made the entire experience even more enjoyable.
The atmosphere throughout the tour was lively and fun, and thanks to Tony's hospitality and expertise, we had a truly memorable night. If you're looking for a street food experience that combines amazing flavors with great company, this tour is an absolute must! Highly recommended!

Local neighborhood finds - Tony was very friendly he took us to places we would have never found ourselves, they were super local and tasty. We had a problem finding a taxi due to the 50th anniversary of Liberation celebration rehearsals but he did not give up finally got a taxi to take us to district 3 and did the complete tour although we lost some time in the beginning. Recommend doing this tour.
