Awesome Guide, Awesome Experiemce! - This is the tour for people who don't like doing tours. Like grabbing drinks and food with a friend and taking in the city. Olivia, my tour guide was knowledgeable, professional, and a great person in general to spend some time with. You really do get the authentic experience of eating in cute little back alley restaurants, and I walked away with a wealth of new jnformation and knowledge about the city. Also, I finally got to eat balut! Couldn't say enough good things about her as my guide and the company as a while! Well worth the money :)

Memorable tour with an insightful local student - An excellent introduction to Vietnamese food and culture. The best part of the tour ws my guide, Hang, who not only told me about the traditional dishes but also thaught me about cultural life and the history of HCM City in flawless English. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see HCM and enjoy its food culture in a unique and memorable way!

Mega fun - best way to see the city and taste local delicacies! - This was the first thing we did when we arrived in Vietnam (after a 10-hour flight) and we couldn't have started our time in Vietnam in a better way! Our guides Giao Tien and Linh were super sweet and knowledgeable. They easily accommodated our dietary requirements and our change in time of our tour. We super recommend this tour!

Fun and Informative Evening Scooter Food Tour - Do not go to Ho Chi Minh without doing this tour! Yudan and his group took our family of 6 on the back of their scooters in the evening. We felt completely safe and got to see a lot of the city while sampling the local foods. My adult children made friends with their drivers and we laughed and conversed the whole night. So inexpensive and a great way to get a feel for the street food of Vietnam. An experience we will never forget! Just book this and don’t look back!

Sensational foodie tour - What a great way to explore parts of the city, we felt very safe on the back of the scooters and have to admit explored parts of the city I would not have known existed, the food was unreal , locally grown and of course cooked by local people which made it even better. Genuine uni students guide you and speak perfect English which makes it easy to explain everything, a real genuine 10 out of 10
