Wanna feel like a local? - It was a very good tour! I felt like a local seeing all the niche spots where i would never had the courage to go to myself. At first i was worried that it wouldnt be enough food, but i was satisfied after the first meal and was completly stretched out after the last.

Our guide shared her passion for her food and her culture in a way that was informative and fun. - The opportunity to experience varied and at time a challenging foods proved to be more fun than I expected. From fabulous coffee desert flans to balut eggs and everything in between. The walk was awesome. I enjoyed the local cuisine and learned so much, thank you.

Great tour! - Dave took us to some great spots! The food was amazing and I highly recommend the tour. My only complaint is that I got full by the second stop. Make sure you're extra hungry!

Food Tour - We had a great time on our food tour with Nancy this evening! She was really friendly and our food stops were perfect, especially the pho noodles with beef stew! We really liked that Nancy explained the detail behind each food stop

Street Food Experience - Anna, my rider is very experience & friendly throughout the tour. Great food & company with all the riders as well. Will recommend for newcomers to try this experience as traffic here is wild and get to experience it on a bike with locals here.

Tea, Bo Kho and Vietnamese Culture - Tea, what a lovely and wonderful food guide you were for us! You made me and my wife both feel very welcome, safe and adventurous in our food tasting within Ho Chi Minh City. We loved all of our food delights on the night provided by the local family run vendors, especially the Bo Kho (Beef Stew) - IT WAS ABSOLUTELY DIVINE!! Another personal favourite for me was the Mekong Roasted Duck, I could not stop licking my fingers (thank you too for your never ending supply and support of wet wipes - very handy for us all). We also loved our drink stop that allowed us all to share more about our cultures and some history of lovely Vietnam. Happy to come back again to HCMC for Tea to take us back for more Bo Kho!
