Wonderful experience! - This vegan food tour was amazing! Our tourguides Ted and Bin were good and safe scooter-drivers. They shared so much useful information about the food and about how it was made, where it comes from…the guides were professional and at the same time like friends!! And the food was delicious.

Must-do vegan food tour with local scooter drivers. - Thai and Ben just spent three hours delighting us with tastes of Saigon, carefully accommodating dietary restrictions and allergies. The conversation was easy, enlightening, and companionable. The men were excellent drivers, and we were more than happy with every selection made for us. I highly recommend this tour with Thai and Ben for a memorable, delicious day!

Food, Vibes, delivered with perfection! - Bao and Ryan were just incredible. Their passion for food, culture and eating was infectious. Intricately explaining the origins of the food and their understanding of the global food cuisine and various diets was incredible. As Vegetarians they took utmost care to explain each ingredient and to look after our allergies, etc. It is clear a lot of thought and research has gone into finding the best authentic places, ensuring outstanding hygiene and great taste.
Their ridership skills along the crazy Saigon roads, narrow alleys and back routes was something else. You felt the thrill, yet completely safe. It rained heavily during our ride, and that brought additional elements into play, but the ability of the boys to see the positive of it all just enriched the experience even further. By the end I think they knew our preferences better than us, that we did not even need to order or tell them what we wanted, it was just prepped, with a local twist.
And the quantity of the food...you better come hungry and thirsty...and don't plan to have breakfast the next day. Because the food is so tasty, the gauge just stops working!!
All in all, this will forever be a memory to cherish, and if we did nothing else in our remaining 2 weeks in the region, it would still be a great trip!!

Memorable and delicious food tour - Thank you so much again for the tour! We had an outstanding food tour with our amazing tour guides Ricky and Thai! They really made the experience memorable with being so nice, professional and also with giving us great Vietnam tips and insight about the culture itself. The stops that we visited were really local and that was what we both wished for! Pho was amazing and also the goi du du, those were definetely our favourites. After the tour Ricky and Thai asked us if we want a ride back to the opera house or to somewhere else, which was also nice. It was only me and my girlfriend on this tour and the 3 h 20 minutes tour was sooo worth the money and would go again anytime!

Fabulous evening trip! - This tour was a great experience and an exciting way to see the city and some of it's vegan eating spots.
We were picked up promptly at our hotel by Ricky and Alex, our your guides and skilled scooter drivers for the evening
They were great company and gave us lots of information about HCMC and Vietnam in general.
Word of warning, go hungry, there is a lot of delicious eating on this outing.
We had great fun zipping through the streets on the scooters and seeing places we would probably never have ventured to on our own.
This trip was taken by a vegan and non vegan, and we both found the food extremely tasty and enjoyable.
Highly recommend this tour to all.

Delicious and fun tour with Ricky and Bin - Had the most amazing time on the vegan food tour with our guides Ricky and Bin! Thank you to those two lovely lads for showing us around their city and filling us up to the brim with some of the best food we've had on our trip to Vietnam! They definitely showed us some local spots we never would have found on our own. It felt like being shown around by a friend.

Vegan heaven in Saigon - Today we took a vegan food tour on motorbikes, and the experience was truly incredible. From the very first moment, the guides Linh and Ricky made us feel completely at ease, and we enjoyed every story they shared about the food and the places we visited. We felt fully immersed in the culture and flavors.
No matter if you are vegetarian, vegan or omnivore, the guides will make sure to adapt the tour to your diet.
Dear Linh and Ricky, thank you for the laughs, the dedication, and the beautiful energy you brought to the whole tour. You are without a doubt part of the bright future of Vietnam.
Highly recommended! 🤗✨

Ricky and Tom are the dream team! 😄 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing experience!
We had a fantastic time with both Ricky and Tom. The rides were incredible and getting to enjoy local delicacies with them made the experience even more special. They took the time to explain so much about the culture, history, and everyday life of the people — it truly felt authentic and meaningful.
We are very grateful and thankful to have met them. They are warm, genuine, and passionate about what they do, and it shows in every moment of the tour. We will definitely do it again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience!
They made us feel like friends, not tourists. If you’re thinking about booking… stop thinking and just do it. You’ll love it!

Super food tour that everyone must have done once! - The tour was great and we were able to discover many great local food spots. It was not just a food tour but an experience. Our two guides Ricky and Micheal were both super nice and explained a lot about the city, answered our questions and gave us an interesting insight into life in Saigon. Although we booked the vegan food tour, it was still possible to try and choose the dishes vegetarian or even with meat. We often had the opportunity to choose between different things. Since only I live vegetarian, this was accordingly optimal for me and my girlfriend. We would definitely recommend the tour to both of them. The money was more than worth it!

Highly recommend to experience local food culture - We had an amazing evening with Bao and Rachel! They were so helpful and entertaining and the food was absolutely delicious! Not only are you getting more food than you can eat, the variety and quality was also very good. You get to eat and drink at places where the locals are and overall a perfect impression of the Saigon food culture. We highly recommend this tour!! (Not only for vegetarians ;) )
