An Authentic Experience to Vietnamese Food Culture - Hieu and Spring were wonderful! Hieu toured us around Saigon and we tasted many delicious foods! Personally my favorite was the street food, it felt more authentic and truly embracing their lifestyle. Hieu was a pleasure to talk to and honestly just having a buddy who knows how to speak to the locals. Very warm and welcoming and enjoyed talking about several topics. Can’t wait to get the recipes and start making it at home ( hopefully I can make it just as good!) if you have any specific foods you may want to try please let them know and they will adjust!! I really wanted to try pho and Hieu took us to a great Pho spot. When booking they also providing us a booklet of other vegetarian/ vegan places to try around Vietnam when traveling which I thought was amazing. They truly went above and beyond so don’t hesitate to book!

Amazing tour through Ho Chi Minh Citys districts - We had a great evening with Spring! Although we had requested at very short notice (the same day), Spring made a tour possible for us. Communication via WhatsApp was very friendly and fast. Spring speaks English very well.
On the tour itself, she explains a lot about the individual dishes, the restaurants and food stalls or talks about life in Vietnam. So in addition to the really delicious dishes you could also take some information with you. Everything from savory to sweet was included in the meal. Although we had already travelled through Vietnam for 3 weeks at this point, there were some new dishes to discover.
Spring was very concerned with our well-being without being intrusive. She had wet wipes in between and regular toilet stops would have been possible. We felt very comfortable at all times!
It’s best to do the tour right at the start of your Vietnam trip, as Spring still sends you valuable tips on vegan/vegetarian restaurants throughout Vietnam. Just great!
We can highly recommend this tour!

Excellent tour - Incredible experience. The host, Spring, had so much knowledge. She educated us on the history of the area and the food, with great insight and humor.
The vegan food was incredible - from restaurants to street stalls. We went back to many places.
We thoroughly recommend and will do the tour again next time we’re in Hi Chi Minh (Saigon).

Finding My Vegan Family in the Streets of Saigon - Wow, what an incredible adventure through the flavors! This tour was truly the highlight of my trip, opening my eyes to the rich tapestry of vegan cuisine in Ho Chi Minh City. I was amazed to discover how many traditional Vietnamese dishes are naturally plant-based.
The tour's pacing was spot-on - a perfect blend of leisurely strolls and mouthwatering tastings. We explored hidden gems in various neighborhoods, including some fantastic spots near my accommodation that I'm eager to revisit.
Our guides, Spring and Hieu, were absolute treasures. Their warmth and knowledge made the evening feel like a delightful outing with old friends. Their passion for vegan cuisine and Vietnamese culture was infectious.
An unexpected bonus was Spring's comprehensive vegan guide. This invaluable resource is packed with tips for navigating Vietnam as a vegan traveler, featuring recommendations not just for Ho Chi Minh City but for destinations throughout the country.
I can't recommend this tour highly enough. It's an ideal way to kick off your Vietnamese adventure, providing insights that will enhance your entire stay. Trust me, your taste buds and your soul will thank you for this unforgettable experience!

The Best Vegan Food Tour with the incredible Spring! - We had an absolutely fantastic vegan food tour with our guide, Spring. She was an amazing person, always eager to adapt the tour to our needs and preferences. Her knowledge and passion for the local cuisine, Vietnam and life in general made our experience truly unforgettable. If you want to get a real feel for the local cuisine in Saigon, this tour is an absolute must!
Spring guided us through a series of delightful stops, starting at a vegan family restaurant where we enjoyed a refreshing coconut salad and a rich curry made from shiitake mushrooms and coconut milk. At Chè Cô Điệp, we indulged in sweet treats like taro with sticky rice and steamed bananas with tapioca flour.
Our journey continued at Bàn Cờ Market, where we tasted exotic fruits such as mangosteen, longan, custard apple, and rambutan. And later had an seemingly endless stream of local delicacies such as Vietnamese Pizza or very special Avocado ice cream.
Spring's tour offered a perfect blend of flavors and textures that only a local could provide. She ensured we experienced the authentic tastes of Saigon in a way that was both informative and enjoyable. Her warmth and expertise made this tour the highlight of our trip.
Thank you, Spring, for such a memorable culinary adventure!

Delicious Vegan Food Tour In Ho Chi Minh City - This vegan food tour was the first food tour I have ever participated in, and I must say, it set the bar high for any other food tour I take. The tour was in the evening, and Hieu took me around to places I would have never have thought to visit in Ho Chi Minh City. I was able to try local vegan dishes as well as fruits that I had never heard about. The history provided throughout was also really helpful in connecting with the city and dishes we were about to try. I finished the tour quite full, so do make sure to arrive hungry! I highly recommend giving this tour a try to learn about local vegan cuisine in Ho Chi Minh City.
