Highlight of our trip to Vietnam!! - If you want a great cultural and food experience, do this tour!! We had such an amazing time on our tour with Ken, Yung, and Ben. Truly an experience that cannot be missed in HCMC.
Our guides took us around the city to amazing food spots we would've never gone to on our own. The dishes were some of the best food we've ever had. Our guides were not only informative, but were hilarious and highly personable- they felt like new friends! While intimidating at first, touring the city on the scooters was so fun and a must. If you want an experience of a lifetime, do this tour.

Motorbike food tour - Michael and John were great guides and expert motorbike drivers. It was so fun weaving through traffic going to spots we surely wouldn’t have been to otherwise. The food was delicious and you’ll be eating way more than enough. Truly a wonderful experience!

Best tour in Vietnam - This food tour was one of the best things I did in Vietnam!! Ted and An were fantastic guides for the evening, taking us to try some wonderful food across Saigon. They really were so sweet and we felt incredibly safe. They both spoke English so well, allowing us to get a deeper cultural understanding of Vietnam through food. Also they were so much fun to spend time with! I’d recommend this tour to everyone- it’s great value for money and a great time. Thank you so much. ❤️

Great food, great guides, great city! - Amazing food tour! Make sure you come to this tour hungry because you will eat ALOT and everything is delicious (and included in the price, there are no hidden fees)!
Our guides, Ben and Will were excellent. Very friendly, fun and interesting to spend the day with. On this tour there's also the bonus of being able to see HCM by bike which is a lot of fun when you're not driving!
This tour was actually recommended to us by a friend who lives in Vietnam and I highly recommend it to any visitors in HCM.

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!
