Perfect Tour for Vegan Foodies - Kris showed us where to best enjoy vegan food in Ho-Chi-Minh City.
Being it Bánh mì, Bánh xèo or of course Phở. All that while being super nice and polite. He even was able to take the fear of riding a motorbike from my girlfriend!

Just do it guys 🙏! - Our tour guy Mac is THE MAN ! He knows his stuff. We did the vegan tour and Mac’s knowledge was fabulous. We experienced things we never would have found unless we had inside knowledge from Mac. We really did get amongst the locals, it was just brilliant ! Thank you Mac !🙏

Brilliant, Tasty and Fun! - The tour was a lot of fun, we got to taste a lot of local drinks and vegan dishes. There was a good variety and a lot of it too. My particular favourites was the traditional banana and coconut dessert along with the kumquat juice.
We stopped at about 7 different places, all very different, tucked away in back streets. Places we never would have had reason to venture on our own.
Tan and Ricky were excellent tour guides; very friendly and great to talk to, learning a lot of interesting stuff about themselves along with the Vietnamese way of life.
The traffic in the city is very busy but we always felt safe and confident with Tan and Ricky.
We had an absolutely brilliant afternoon with them and got a real taste of the city- thank you 😊

wonderful experience - We had an amazing time on this tour in early December. We each went on 1 scooter and navigating the traffic like a local was terrific. The drivers were careful and considerate. The different stops were very good, the food was excellent. It was fun going down alleys and markets. One of the very best things we did on this trip. I can't recommend this tour enough. Kelly was an amazing and energetic leader. All the drivers were great.

A fantastic food tour! - This tour was fantastic!!! Our guide, Kelly, took us to 10 food spots where we had deliciously prepared snacks and food that met our food restrictions and tastes. We had everything from coconut milk, to passion fruit salads, to sandwiches, to pancakes, to bananas with rice, to 5 more incredible tastes of Vietnam. We were escorted around via scooter and it was amazing fun. The four of us had an incredible experience and I would highly recommend this tour. We are all in our mid 70s so the scooter experience was very daring for us, but we felt reassured in the capable hands of our experienced, friendly young drivers.

A very pleasant experience - We booked this tour together with my friend, and it was just the 2 of us - so a private tour :) We picked the vegan option.
They picked us up from our hotel (always nice) and then we rode on 2 bikes.
We started with a coconut water with fruit infusion. Then went for banana sticky rice (I loved it!), the vegan pho and banh mi, then a tradition savory pancake and then sugar cane juice with local "pizza" and sweet potato puffs (i loved these!). basically, better not to have breakfast as you'll be eating a lot haha
Our guide was very nice, good English. Overall it was a fun thing to do.
