Great food tour - The food tour included 5 different restaurants where we tried the signature dishes, all of the food was yum, especially the crispy pancakes! 🥰 Phoenix was very enthusiastic and provided a lot of interesting information about food culture in Vietnam and the dishes that we were eating. The visit to train street at the end of the tour was a fun unique experience. I would highly recommend this tour 😀

Phoenix our tour guide... - Phoenix our tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. The tour has well selected restaurant showcasing different Vietnamese dishes such as banh mi, banh xeo, banana fritter, egg coffee, spring rolls, etc. By the end I was full. My favorite now is the dry beef noodle salad I got to sample on the tour.

Great tour, fantastic memorable experience - This was an amazing experience! Alex the tour guide was great, couldn’t have been better. Friendly and knowledgable. We tried 5 different amazing dishes, of which I probably wouldn’t have had the chance to try without being aware of them. We finished at train street, which made for a great experience. The other people on the tour were great, and as a solo traveller this was great way to meet new people. 10/10, do it if you are reading this!

Street food tour - An amazing tour of traditional Vietnamese street food and the history behind them. This is a must for food lovers who want to experience a range of food, both savory and sweet. The drink at the end is a must for any coffee lovers and the hot chocolate alternative is perfect for those that dislike coffee. The guide is very informative and it's a good way to explore what the old quarter has to offer.
