Just book it! - This was my highlight of my time in Vietnam! The guides were incredibly kind, funny and accomodating and the scooters felt very safe (I was fairly anxious before the tour as I’d never been on one before). I highly recommend this tour, whether it’s your first night in HCM or not as it doesn’t just stick to your typical Vietnamese foods. Shout out to Wade who was my driver. He was an excellent driver, told me all about the city as we drove, and spoke great English which helped my many questions. Just book it!

Don't hesitate to book this Experience! - My daughters and I had a great 4 hours with Den/Victor/Nguyen. Their English was great and they were all very informative about the places we visited. Felt very safe with them as they motor biked us around town/through alleys/yummy places to eat. Definitely come with an empty stomach as they have curated very delicious eateries. Well worth the price and experience. I would highly rec'd you book this Food Tour.

The best tour!! - We truly had an amazing experience with this tour! Our guides were Tom, Somi, Jane, Talon and Tony. It was my first time riding on a motorbike but I felt very safe throughout the journey. The guides were so friendly and taught us a lot about the food we ate and the places we visited, and were also very considerate towards our food preferences. The food choices were excellent too! We really got to try a huge variety and truly immerse ourselves in the local cuisine :) I highly recommend this tour to everyone!

The best experience and tour guides! - Jane and Nguyễn were the best food tour guides!! They’re knowledgeable, kind, and showed us some of the best food spots we would’ve never known about. I’d highly recommend going on this tour if you love food and want to check out a different part of time. Well worth the money.

Great Experience - The tour was amazing! Our guides Johnathan, Mimi and Son did such a good job introducing us to the food culture of Vietnam and bringing us around the city! Highly recommend this tour because they will take you to so many places in just a few hours and you get to try so many things which would be impossible to find if you were on your own.
