Amazing experience and highly recommended! - My tour guide was Khải who was very knowledgeable on the foods and history of the area. Khải was well spoken and I always felt safe with his riding through the crazy traffic. Food was great. I got to visit a lot of places I wouldn't have found on my own. And I was very full by the end of the tour. I highly recommend this tour and tour guide to my family and friends.

Unforgettable Food Tour with Long - Our guides name was Long & even after me messing up our booking he was so very helpful. We enjoyed this tour with Long, he was extremely pleasant & very knowledgeable. We made him laugh with our Aussie ways. I was hesitant about trying street food in Vietnam but everything was delicious & we had no ill effects afterwards. Even drank peach tea with ice cubes. I would definately recommend this tour to give you an idea about their local food & some of their traditions. We had a great time!!

10/10 - What a great experience! We got to see places and try so many local dishes that we wouldn’t have found by ourselves. Ted and Khoa, our guides made the night so much fun. They were super professional, knowledgeable and fun. We would recommend this tour to everyone!

Let's go (đi thôi)! - I had the best tour with Nhu. He introduced me to many new dishes, my favourite was the broken rice and Banh Xèo. Nhu also taught me some great Vietnamese sayings which have been helpful for the rest of my trip. Definitely recommend this trip!

Food tour on crack - This was hands down the BEST food tour we could have ever asked for – all thanks to our incredible guides, Ted and Jerry! From start to finish, they made the experience unforgettable. They took us to the most authentic, local spots – places we never would’ve found on our own – and every bite was more delicious than the last. You can really tell they know their city and its hidden culinary gems like the back of their hands. On top of that, they took amazing care of us on their motorbikes – we felt completely safe, comfortable, and looked after the entire time. Their energy was infectious, their passion for food and culture was inspiring, and they made us feel like locals, not just tourists. Ted and Jerry aren’t just tour guides – they’re hosts, storytellers, and all-around legends. If you’re thinking about doing a food tour, do it with them. You’ll remember it forever. Thank you both for such an incredible night!

Bike tour round to best food stops learning about the dishes and how to eat them - Possibly one of the best things I’ve done in travelling ever! Went with 5 friends, was during 50 year independence preperations so roads were chaos but Henry, Priscilla, Nhu, Pham and Anthu (sorry if I misspelt any names!) were super amazing about finding best routes etc. Not only were they so hospitable but also so much fun and the 10 of us had the best time, while also teaching us about Vietnam and the food. Special trip would highly recommend to everyone whether you’re a foodie or just want to meet nice people or understand more about Vietnam! Thank you so much!
