Mac & Henry are the way to go!! - If you’re vegan and better yet are able to go to the vegetarian level (just this once) you will have an amazing street food experience. Our guides Mac and Henry explained the cultural meaning of all our foodie stops along the way. Flying through the streets on there expertly driven motor bikes was an amazing way to experience the city. DONT MISS THIS!

Great was to discover HCM city - We had an absolutely fantastic introduction to Ho Chi Minh City with our tour guide Kelly (Thu). She promptly picked us up from our hotel and we immediately felt so welcomed and comfortable with her warm energy. She was organised, efficient and took us to so many places that we otherwise would never have considered. The food was delicious and we were well accommodated for as vegetarians. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the flavours and culture of Vietnam with a friendly guide.

Delicious food and locations I wouldnt have seen otherwise. - Fantastic Vegan tour! Highly recommended for anyone who wants to try as much food as they can, while knowing they can trust the ingredients. Kelly was a fantastic guide for the walking tour. She has so much love for Ho Chi Minh and she added such a great local touch to everything. All of the food she brought out was delicious and she gave history on both the food and city. Thanks again Kelly! I left so full!

Discover hidden vegan authentic Vietnamese food in Saigon with friendly guides - Amazing vegan experience, we had a private guide take us to hidden gems all over the city. All of the restaurants are fully vegan and have been operating for more than 20 years in Saigon. The tour was comprehensive, with the guides giving us history, information about the food, preparation, instructions on how the locals prepare different things as well as taking care of us for hydration and toilet breaks. They were also very friendly and personable. There is a good mix of sweet, savoury and drinks and desserts in this tour. We were so full by the end! Highly recommended!

Above and beyond - We had a young man by the name of Jack as our guide. Jack picked us up from our hotel promptly at the designated time, he was friendly, polite and very knowledgeable, and also spoke perfect English with a clear almost American like accent.
The tour was spread all around town, and we moved with taxis part of the time and walked other parts. All places visited were very local with us being the only non-locals around. There’s very little likelihood that we would have experiences these places independently, English was definitely not spoken there. Jack was going out of his way to explain everything we were eating, down to the ingredients and the stories behind each restaurant. Overall, 5 stars experience, I have no complaints and no feedback, the tour exceeded all of our expectations. If you book this trip, try to ask for Jack, I promise you won’t regret it.
One last thing, Jack is not a vegan, but has deep understanding of what veganism is, both dietary and ethically. He kept asking questions testing our comfort level and adjusting the tour accordingly. I’m sure he’s guided many vegans before!

10/10 vegan food tour - Our guide Kelly picked us up and took us to some delicious places serving vegan and vegetarian food such as pho, broken rice and banana dish. Our host was very knowledgeable and friendly sharing local knowledge, navigating the streets and going above and beyond to make our family comfortable providing wipes, distracting the baby so we could eat and altering the route/menu when the children got too tired. Highly recommend, an unforgettable experience in HCM city!

Great vegan food tour with great guide! - Kelly was a wonderful guide, spoke perfect English and took us to eat delicious vegan food we would never have found ourselves! We were driven around on scooters by Kelly and her assistant Henry, felt safe and got to see Saigon the local way! Thank you :)
