Excellent guide, food and experience - We had Tillian as our guide. He could not do enough for us. Explanatory tour of everywhere we went, made safety a priority walking on the side walk and across roads. Little things like hand sanitiser at every stop. Very caring and passionate young man. Vinni, you have a great asset there. Great variety of food along the way, explaining the different herbs go with which dish. Very informative Tillian. He made our trip to HCM City. 6 stars for you Tillian. Thoroughly recommend this walking tour to get a real sense of the culture and cuisine.

A great night out with a Local! - Robert was an amazing, knowledgeable guide and showed us places we would never be able to find ourselves. His English was perfect and the stories he told were so interesting. The food was all delicious and fresh. We did 3 Food Tours in Vietnam and this one was our favourite. Book it. You won’t be disappointed. Come prepared with some ‘Dad’ jokes! Robert has plenty!! Such a lovely guy!

Great food and more - What an amazing experience! Our street food walking tour was led by the wonderful Grace. We got to try new foods, see parts of HCMC that tourists wouldn't normally visit and be entertained all at the same time!! I highly recommend this tour, just make sure you have a BIG appetite!

Best food tour in Ho Chi Minh with the best guide Grace✨ - Had a lovely time with my partner with the guide of Grace. Grace has been genuine, patient, friendly, informative and energetic throughout the entirety of our tour, we had such an amazing experience as though a friend was showing us around their city. We went on our first day in Vietnam and Grace really made our impression of Vietnam special as she not only explained each dish but, the history of Vietnam and its unique culture. Was a blessing to have had Grace and anyone that books for this tour would have a guaranteed great time if you get lucky enough to get Grace as your guide. Thank you for your help💗 Cảm ơn🙏

Best food tour in Vietnam - My partner and I had a wonderful and memorable experience on this food tour. Our guide Grace was very friendly, energetic and well-spoken. She made sure that the experience was seamless and clean, providing hand sanitisers and tissues along the tour. She bantered with us along the way and taught us many Vietnamese words, cultural tradition and symbolisms. Additionally, the food was delicious and diverse. We were very satisfied at the end of the tour. I recommend everyone to go on this food tour with Grace.

A must do with Gracie! - Me and my partner got this as a recommendation from a friend and we loved every minute of it. Our tour guide, Gracie, explained every dish in so much detail and was so conversational throughout the tour. It was such an awesome experience and cannot recommend it enough. Thank you for taking us around, Gracie, we appreciated your expertise so much and for making this such a seamless and no fuss experience.

Excellent experience! - We had a fantastic time on the street food tour. Our guide, Robert, was excellent – super friendly and entertaining. The food was delicious, but Robert's energy made the night unforgettable. We had a blast exchanging jokes and getting insights into life in HCMC. Bonus points: we mastered the art of crossing those crazy busy streets like pros! Highly recommend this tour!
