Foody night - Tony's Street Food Tour:
We had an absolutely fantastic experience on Tony's Street Food Tour! Tony truly knows the best places to go, taking us to hidden gems and local favorites that we would never have found on our own. Every stop along the way offered incredible food, bursting with authentic flavors and fresh ingredients.
Beyond just being a knowledgeable guide, Tony was a pleasure to talk to—friendly, engaging, and full of interesting insights about the local cuisine and culture. His excellent English made communication effortless, which was a huge help for me and made the entire experience even more enjoyable.
The atmosphere throughout the tour was lively and fun, and thanks to Tony's hospitality and expertise, we had a truly memorable night. If you're looking for a street food experience that combines amazing flavors with great company, this tour is an absolute must! Highly recommended!

Best Street Food Tour! - I really enjoyed this tour and only wish I had done it my first day in Saigon so that I had more time to go back and enjoy all the amazing dishes that my guide, Tony, introduced me to to. Tony was very kind and knowledgeable and walking around the city with felt like I was spending time with an old friend. This tour takes you off the beaten path and introduces you to a variety of authentic foods. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic street food experience.

Tony's taste of Saigon street foods is not to be missed! - Tony was an amazing guide through the back streets of Saigon. The foods we tried were fabulous and ones we've never had before including:
Banh cuon - Steam Rice Rolls
Banh mi - Vietnamese baguette
Bun bo - Lemongrass Beef Noodles
Banh Khot - Vietnamese Rice Pancake
Kem Bo - Coconut ice cream with avocado
Tony also is a wealth of knowledge about the Vietnamese culture. My daughter and I had so much fun.
Would 100 % recommend this tour if you're looking for an authentic street food experience in HCMC!

Must do experience - Tony was a great host and took us to places we would not have discovered on our own. The food choices were varied, tasty and explained in detail. We just would not have tried these foods without Tony’s guidance. Just walking through District 3 was an experience in its own right. Tony is a lovely guy with very good English and will take good care of you - highly recommended and good value.

A must do in Ho Chi Min - Great food tour with Tony, he is an absolute gentleman and went above and beyond to make the evening special for us.
We got to experience food and areas of the city which otherwise would have been a mystery for us.
Food was great, loved learning how to eat certain foods and the company was brilliant.
Would 100 percent recommend.

Pleasant first evening. - The guide showed up punctually, and we took a cab to the flower market area. He took care of all orders and gave small explanations of each. They were all delicious. He was very personable and was able to discuss a range of topics and make some suggestions about where to get coffee and breakfast. I’ve never been here before so the entire experience was not only about delicious cuisine but of making sure I had a very pleasant first evening
