Yummy & Educational - A fantastic experience visiting food areas that no one would ever know about if you didn’t live in Saigon. Knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. Highly recommend.

Eating with the locals in real Saigon - We thoroughly enjoyed our walking food tour with Tony. A real culinary feast and also a fantastic cultural experience in the narrow lanes and bustling markets of District 3. A far cry from the relatively sanitised environment of District 1. Tony was a great guide. Enthusiastic, knowledgeable and with excellent English. Highly recommended.

An adventure into the unknown - Tony is an excellent guide. We were taken to District 3 for our eating adventure. We would never have done this had we been alone.
The people, the alleys, the noise - everything added to it. And the food was both amazing and plentiful. A lot of this is food that i wouldn’t try because i didn’t know it existed. Everything was amazing, i can’t recommend Tony as your HCM food guide enough.

A walking Vietnamese tapas style dinner out in Saigon - Tony is excellent guide from start to finish - bringing you to corners of Saigon City only a local would. Tasting scrumptious food, local delicacies Vietnamese tapas style - trying out dishes that you would not have found or tried if you were to venture out on your own. All this while you walk away the calories!

Enthusiastic guide that lead us to good Vietnamees food! - Had a really nice foodtour with our guide Tony. He brought us to places we wouldn't stop by our own and that suprised us with really tasty food. We are in Vietnam for almost 4 weeks and already had lots of different Vietnamese food, but he managed to let us taste some new things. I especially loved the street food market at the end in a more locally area.

Food tour of district 3 - Outstanding food tour, have been on many over the years, but this tour really stood out, and exceeded beyond expectations. Food was excellent, and very generous portions. Our host Tony was amazing, knew so much about the food/local area, and was so friendly. Highly recommend. Thanks again.

Food tour in Saigon - We generally like to do a food tour in our first couple of days in a new city. We feel that exploring the city through its food helps us understand our the culture of a new destination a little bit better.
We had a wonderful tour with Tony. He was warm and personable as well as knowledgeable. We learned about life in Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City through the eyes of a local.
There was definitely enough food! By the end of the tour, we were kind of pushing away some of the food because we just too full!
A word of advice, this is definitely a STREET FOOD tour. It is likely to be a little more exotic for a lot of people, so go in with an open mind and open palate so that you can enjoy your experience to the fullest.

Great street food tour! - Highly recommend this street food tour! Tony Stark (😄) was a fantastic tour guide with a lot of knowledge of the various food we tried! The pace was great, and the variety of food we got to sample was excellent. It was really helpful having a local guide us through the street food vendors and do the ordering for us. Can’t say enough good things about the tour and would definitely book again!

Fantastic experience!! - After pickup, Tony took me to District 3 where I was immersed in the local culture. This is where we started our walking tour. With multiple stops on the journey, I had eaten more than enough by the end of the evening. Tony was a great guide - spoke English fluently and went above and beyond to ensure I had a great experience.
