Awesome food safari. Nom nom nom, get in my tum. - This was an awesome food safari with Vy and Ethan - out guides. Both of them were delightful, enthusiastic and really shared what life is like in Vietnam. Both spoke very good English which made the experience a lot more fun. Being the rainy season in Ho Chi Minh, we had the privilege of a private tour in the evening on scooters. We started off with a fried banana treat which was delicious and ended it with dessert. In between we had such a range of foods - noodles, little flour cakes (Banh Beo) which was my favourite for the evening, grilled sticky rice, sugarcane juice, and many other foods. We stopped at the District 10 flower market where we had more delights and learned a little about flowers too. By the end, we were full and happy campers! The night food tour is absolutely worth it for anyone keen to try local delights. Our guides were safe riders and a lot of fun.

Five star scooter tour - Keiran & Virgil made a striking first impression, energetic & enthusiastic. We knew we were in for fun! The afternoon flew by, packed with fascinating facts about Saigon & its role in the complex history of Vietnam. Experiencing all this from the back of a scooter was an exhilarating treat with tons of laughter & cultural exchanges along the way. Not to be missed

Great tour, even for vegetarians! - As a vegetarian who loves to try to sample local cuisines (and often fails) I was nervous to book this tour, but I had no need to be! Kieran and Lian picked us up from our hotel on bikes and took me and my partner (who is not vegetarian) to some incredible restaurants and food stalls, everything we tried we loved, it was hard to pick a favourite. They took extra care to ensure that both me and my partner got to try dishes that cater to our dietary requirements. We also got the opportunity to learn a bit more about the local areas and see how locals live in Ho Chi Minh rather than just the regular touristy spots. Our tour guides were really friendly and informative and spoke excellent English. I would highly recommend this tour and will be to any friends and family who visit in future!

Mr. Guide, it's great. - They were able to eat local food while having fun talking with the guide, and they also made it easy to understand the tourist attractions. I can barely speak English, but I'm really happy to communicate! Of course, riding behind the bike was great fun!!
