Great way to see the city - The food was excellent and plentiful and I couldn’t have found these spots on my own, and the guides were fun, easygoing, and cared about our safety and experience.

Best Culinary Experience of Ho Chi Minh City with John and Rick. - We absolutely loved our food tour of Ho Chi Minh City with John and Rick, two young passionate local Vietnamese students who took us all around the city's hidden nooks and corners for the best dishes. I can safely say that it would have never been possible to discover such amazing vegan versions of traditional Vietnamese dishes without their help! They are great guys to talk to and they'll take you on a motorbike all around the city, best way to explore Ho Chi Minh. Left us very very happy! Highly recommend doing this tour with them!

Great food with lovely guides - Can’t say enough good things about our time on the food tour today. Tan and Thu were some of the friendliest guides we’ve ever had the pleasure of spending time with. The food stands and dishes were excellent and everything was very well explained. Riding on the back of the bike felt very safe, and Tan and Thu were very polite when making sure we were comfortable. One of the stands we were supposed to eat at was closed, so Tan and Thu replaced it with crab soup that ended up being a highlight of the whole afternoon. An overall wonderful experience with some very friendly and knowledgeable people.
