Amazing tour, especially in the rain - Soo glad we took this tour! We had 2 amazing guides, Thuy and Tillian, who took us through the streets of Ho Chi Minh. We had such a great time, the rain totally added to the experience, we had such tasty food. They also told us stories and gave us information about the foods, traditions and places we saw. We passed all the challenges they set us,( I won't say here what they were so you will have the full surprise ) and got back replete and happy. We came to Saigon for just the one day and this was the perfect experience, don't miss out on it! I promise you will not be disappointed.

a must do in ho chi minh - we had an incredible experience last night not just for the diversity of the food that we were offered but seeing the neighbourhoods where the locals live up close made it quite special. Grace was knowledgeable and took us through some very traditional and amazing Vietnamese food including a Michelin star stop which was the highlight of the trip, I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique evening experience. Would do it again any time Grace was an expert host

Amazing time with an amazing guide - We had the most incredible experience with our tour guide, Tanya. Despite multiple delays on our end, she patiently waited for us and greeted us with a warm smile. Throughout the tour, Tanya was friendly and engaging, making us feel right at home. She took us to numerous street food stalls, each offering a delightful and unique taste of Vietnamese cuisine. We particularly loved the seafood dish(clams) and avocado ice-cream(kem bo). By the end of the tour, we were happily stuffed with delicious food! Tanya's extensive knowledge of the food and the surrounding areas added a rich layer to our experience. She also shared interesting stories and historical facts about the neighborhoods we visited. Her excellent English made communication easy, and her passion for the local culture and cuisine truly shone through. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend Tanya for anyone looking to explore the culinary wonders of Vietnam!

Fantastic authentic food - Thanks Sam for a great street food walking tour! Sam was so informative, not only about the food, but also insights into Vietnamese life. If you're expecting a flash restaurant, this isn't the trip for you. But if you're after real food, sitting on plastic chairs eating with locals, then this is a great experience. We felt comfortable that the places we ate at had quality, freshly cooked food. Thankyou Street Food Man, but especially Sam, our fantastic guide! Ps thanks for the language lesson and Duo Lingo tips😉

Walking Street Food Tour- HCMC - Went on this food tour with my partner, both of us pescatarian. Thuy greeted us downstairs of our hotel with a friendly smile, all the gear (hand sanitizer, ponchos, booklet of helpful Vietnamese phrases, etc.), and a great attitude. She shared fun facts and tips and really showed us some bright spots within the city as we walked from location to location. As we arrived at each place she described their history, the dishes, and answered all our questions thoughtfully. I’ve been on food tours before and this was by far my most memorable experience. The food accommodated our dietary needs and each experience was unique in its own way, but all of them were absolutely delicious! We had Banh Mi, scallops, clams, stir-fried noodles w mixed seafood, grilled prawns, sugar cane juice, BBQ fish, two types of shrimp pancakes, and ice cream. Not to mention a couple of beers and a few surprises along the way! My one complaint: she set the bar so high that I’m afraid no future street food tour will compete! Thanks for a truly magical experience and showing us what HCMC has to offer, Thuy. We’ll forever be grateful!!😊

Excellent experience - so glad we did it - Epic experience. We were guided by Thuy, Charlie and Grace. We were two families with 6 kids between us, dietary requirements and were pretty tired after 2+ weeks on the road....and THEY DID AN AMAZING JOB! The food options were fabulous, they did a great job of engaging the kids and also supporting dietary requirements. Honestly, this experience was a highlight of our holiday. Much recommended and many thanks to Thuy and the team!
