Great Food Tour in Saigon - We went in with no expectations and left with a very high opinion of Saigonese street food thanks to our kind and informative guide Nancy. We had five stops filled with delicious food, but one of the most valuable things was all of the extra information Nancy dispenses! Super recommended!

The perfect way to start our Vietnam trip! - Our family's first time to Vietnam and this tour was the perfect way to start our trip. Our guide Dave took us to some amazing street vendors. The food was delicious and we tried so many foods we otherwise wouldn't have been so adventurous to do without him. Our 10 and 13 year olds, who can be very bland, tried all the dishes and loved them too, giving it an overall score of 5 out of 5 stars! It's been a brilliant way to broaden our culinary appetite, we are now looking forward to continuing to try more local foods. Thanks again Dave for a great evening!

City Tour and Delicious Food! - Thao took us on an amazing street food tour of Ho Chi Minh. We got to try many delicious Vietnamese foods and learn about the city as we walked from restaurant to restaurant. I highly recommend this tour as it was a highlight of my trip to Vietnam.

A Memorable Tour Experience - The tour was fantastic, and the guide was friendly. I made a new friend from the UK who is an accountant, and we talked a lot about new technology while walking around. Also, Thao, our tour guide, provided a lot of information about the culture and food.

Great guide - Four of us did the tour, which we all really enjoyed. Our guide was excellent, who we probably enjoyed as much as the food which we have say was good. My only criticism was the venues we visited were also on other tour groups food stops. So sometimes more visitors than locals!
