Tasty Local Treats - Tony is a total dude. Great to be shown the best local flavours from an expert guide. Really night walk to see the sights of District 3. Good value too. I’d recommend doing this on your first night in Saigon.

A unique and thoroughly enjoyable evening! - I really enjoyed this evening sampling different street foods around HCMC with Tony. He is very well-informed and has curated an excellent selection of food and drink from his personal experiences as someone who clearly knows the city well. We visited a variety of stalls that I would not have known existed without Tony’s local knowledge, including the best Bánh Mì of my trip so far. His English is excellent and he also kindly arranged a cab from my hotel to and from the tour area. I felt safe and comfortable throughout. I would highly recommend his tour to everyone and wish him all the best!

Amazing Tour - Tony is an excellent host. Well spoken, accurate, attractive and passionate about food and Ho Chi Minh street food scene. If you want a real home grown experience and live like a local this is the tour for you. See the back streets and secluded street food market. Excellent food choices. I Highly recommend this tour. Thank you Tony for your hospitality!

Motorbike street food tour - Tony our motorbike street food tour guide was amazing. He took us to locations we would never have gone to and eaten from. The traditional Vietnamese food was amazing. Tony was very informative and interactive which made the experience all the better. Highly recommend!

Awesome food tour with Tony in District 3 - I was picked up by Tony on time from my hotel and taken straight to District 3 where we walked for the rest of the tour. I got to try 5 different dishes whilst walking around this great part of town. I wouldn't have known where to go or what to eat here without Tony's help. I much preferred walking and being immersed in this part of town than the scooter tour option offered by others. It was also great to meet Tony and learn about him, his family and Vietnam as well as lots about the food. Great thing to do on my first night in Vietnam!

An amazing night of delicious food - We absolutely loved the street food tour with Tony. Delicious food from a diverse range of locations, including walking through the intensely lively night food markets, the Nguyen Thien Thuat Apartment Buildings, and other areas in District 3. Tony was a fantastic guide, knowledgeable, friendly and a great communicator, who made things very easy for us with our two youngish kids. The tour gave us a glimpse of a food culture and way of life so unlike our own, and we feel fortunate to have been able to experience it.

Awesome food tour! - We had an excellent food tour with Tony. He took us to some out of the way places we could never have found on our own. Tony was very knowledgeable about all the food styles we tried , extremely friendly and lovely guide. I would highly recommend this food tour.

Great food! - The food was delicious! I wasn't a fan of the sandwich "ban mi", but everything else was great, especially the beef stew "bo kho"! Tony, the guide, was friendly, spoke English quite well, and was great at explaining everything and answering questions. Definitely recommend, especially if you've never had Vietnamese food before or if you have limited time in Vietnam and want to try as many local dishes as possible 🙂
