Had a blast! - I really recommend this tour. The two girls Helen and Sarah were very kind and showed us the best spots in Ho Chi Minh city. The food was amazing and we learned a lot from the city and their history. It’s a nice way to get to know the city and the local Vietnamese food!

Unique Tastes and Sights of Saigon - I joined a small group tour with our guide David. He was very professional and relaxed. He showed us around town while taking us to all sorts of different places to eat. I was joined by two other solo women travelers. All three of us enjoyed the experience. Food was delicious and interesting, and we definitely visited some unique locations within the city that a tourist would otherwise not get the opportunity to visit and experience.

Fun whistle stop tour with yummy food stops. - I was only in HCMC for the afternoon so the tour operator kindly changed my tour to combine the highlights of the City with street food included. I loved all of the food and it’s made me braver to just stop and try things now!! My favourite was the banana wrapped in rice with coconut milk. Kent was really friendly and was an excellent driver. He made me feel very confident. I understand why motorbike riders wear masks now. It did get a bit smelly when the traffic was particularly heavy. Kent’s English was excellent and he even tried to teach me some Vietnamese 😀

The best tour ever to learn about the culture in Ho Chi Minh - This tour was exactly what we were looking for when we signed up for it. Kai and Kevin were very attentive to our needs and personable. We learned a lot about the area and enjoyed going to all the different districts tasting different types of food. I would recommend to anyone, that is into culture and who loves food and is adventuresome, to take this tour. At first, I was apprehensive about taking a ride on the scooter, but after a few short minutes, it was very exciting to travel like everyone else does! Also, I was concerned about not taking this tour during the evening and decided to take the 1 PM tour instead and I was glad we did because it was much less traffic than taking it in the evening, where it’s very crowded on the narrow streets. Also, it is very nice taking a private tour instead of a larger group tour so you can have time to talk to the guides and learn about the culture. Take this tour, and you will not regret it!

Definitely recommended to do in Ho Chi Minh - We did this tour with a small group of 5. The tour was great: you get to try a lot of different street food dishes and drinks which we wouldn’t have tried otherwise. The guides knew a lot about Ho Chi Minh and we felt safe all the time on the back of the motorbikes. Thanks again Jenny and Dat for the amazing experience.
