Authentic food tour - Harry was a great guide, different places with backgrounds. No food that didn't taste good. Thank you again. Also offers other tours. English easy to understand.

Favourite part of the Vietnam Holiday. - My husband and I had a fantastic time at this tour. We were at HCMC for only 2 nights and didn't have the time to explore the food scene by ourselves. So this was the best ever decision we made. Bao and Truong, where exactly the kind of hosts we were hoping to take the tour with. They were actually reflective of Vietnamese culture I have read so much about. Warm, funny, welcoming and vibrant. The tour covered essentially everything we wanted to have a taste of, with a little bit of walking, and history thrown in. More than the food, what was an eye opener for me, was to be able to see the city from the eyes of the locals. Both of them were perceptive and quickly understood our expectations from the trip. Will fully recommend to anybody that wants to see the city not as a tourist, but as s local.

Awesome night out in Saigon - We had a wonderful experience with Vinh who took us around on a private tour via grab cabs. The highlights were definitely the Banh Mi and the Bun Bo. There was also that walking trip thru the street food market which was a surreal experience. This is definitely a great way to spend an evening in Saigon if you do not know what to pick or rather, what to eat for your next Vietnamese meal.

Great guide - Super helpful and insightful I would definitely recommend taking this guided tour so many places to see which short time can’t always rely on other sources

Highly recommended food and culture tour - This was such a unique experience. We got the feel of the city and tried new delicious foods for the first time. Riding around on scooters in rush hour traffic was crazy but super fun. It added to the experience of the local culture and will be one of the most memorable experiences of our Vietnam trip. Even with the chaotic traffic, we felt safe the entire time. Tien and the rest of the crew made us feel welcome and Tien did a great job explaing the history and culture of the different foods and sites. Thank you for offering a vegetarian option for us that don't eat meat. Even though my family does eat meat, they loved the food too!

Food, fun and friends. Fantastic! - Kieran and Lucas took our group of 9 from Australia on an exceptionally fun and informative tour of Saigon. The food was delicious, and the locations we were taken to enjoy it were authentic and away from the tourist strip. Our guides were fun, friendly and passionate about sharing their love of Vietnam, its citizens and its delicious cuisine. They were also happy to accommodate a soecial request to surprise our friend whose birthday we were celebrating. I thoroughly recommend this tour as a perfect introduction to Saigon.

Amazing food tour with super fun guides - We just spent a fantastic evening zipping safely through throngs of scooters and tasting wondrous food with Kevin and David. As vegetarians it seemed daunting to us to venture out into Saigon’s street food scene by ourselves and we are so glad we chose to book this tour. Everything tasted beyond delicious, and spending time and many laughs with our guides put the experience over the top. After all, food is about getting together with people! We are so pleased with this tour. Thank you!

- Our guides were fun and had a clear plan to ensure we had new experiences as this was the 2nd time to HCMC. The food they chose was absolutely delicious and covered a HUGE range of Vietnamese culinary delights! Would highly recommend specially if you have already done the obvious food tours already. Our whole evening was captured on photos the guides took and then shared with us. We had a very memorable evening sharing food with our new Vietnamese Friends :) Thank you team

Fantastic vegetarian food tour with Khoa! - We had a great night in Ho Chi Minh thanks to our guide Khoa. He is super friendly, patient and really knows everything about the city and Vietnamese cuisine. No question was too much – from culture to ingredients – he had an interesting answer to everything. Khoa took us to places we would never visit ourselves and let us taste many vegetarian dishes that we did not know yet. Everything was delicious and surprising; from crispy snacks to savoury noodle soups and sweet desserts. He also made sure the flavors and portions were well tuned for us and our 6-year-old daughter. We immediately felt comfortable with him. He has a great energy and made the tour very personal and fun. Highly recommended if you are looking for a food tour that is authentic, informative and 100% vegetarian. 💯 Thank you Khoa, you made our evening unforgettable!
