We did this tour with Street Food man last year with our children (18 and 20) and it was their highlight in Saigon HCM. We all loved it so much such that when my wife and I had a few days here we wanted to do it again.
The tour is on motor scooters through Saigon’s crazy traffic to some of the best street food in the world. We never felt unsafe on the bikes, which was so much fun in itself.
We went to 6 stops with 9 types of food and drinks. All of which were so delicious it was very difficult to decide which was the best.
Our guides, Robert and Tessie were so engaging and knowledgeable, not just about the food but also the city’s history and culture.
I could not recommend this trip more highly. I’m sure all the guides are wonderful, but if you’re lucky enough to get Robert and Tessie, it’ll be an experience you’ll remember for a very long time.

This is now our third street food tour with Gracie and Harry and I’d say it’s very hard to improve on the previous experiences which were absolutely amazing… but as they tailor everything to our needs they did it! It is a must do experience if you’re going to Ho Chi Minh as not only do you get to see this mad, chaotic city, but you get taken to places you could simply never find as a visitor!
We went to seven diverse and simply stunning eateries. Each one was a taste sensation and we wouldn’t miss this for anything!
Gracie and Harry are absolutely fantastic hosts… knowledgeable, great company and ready to help in any way they can. We ask for them in person every time and they always accommodate us… thank you!!
Finally, if it’s vale for money you’re looking for then this is it… 7 stops, four hours, amazing moped experience and sensational food!
Thank you both once again for making our trip so special… you’re wonderful!

I took the private motorbike tour immediately after traveling to town the same day. I WhatsApped Vinny in my departure airport and he offered to confirm once I landed, giving me a later start time to accommodate time getting to my hotel.
On the tour, Tanya was great - the tour is one-on-one so you really get to talk in depth and any aspect of Vietnamese or HCMC culture you want. For example, there is a small language primer as part of the “canned” tour, but Tanya was happy to spend time at each of our meals going through the different Vietnamese letter sounds and practicing common words on signage in the area.
Food wise, the tour offers a pretty good mix, and enough quantity that I was surprised, as a larger American, to be full by the end (even after not finishing the meal at most stops). Drinks (at most restaurants as well as a sweet drink), desserts, seafood etc are all part of the tour.
Overall, a great time. Tanya rules

I did this tour on my first day in HCM and it was a great introduction to the city and Vietnamese food. My guide Tessie was personable and friendly. She felt like a friend showing me around her city. The tour was comprehensive and every meal was enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this experience.

We had such a wonderful time with Thuy and Catherine. It was the perfect start for us in HCMC, since we gathered so much information about the city and of course about the various dishes. In case you thinking about whether you should do the Scooter or the Walking Tour, because you a little bit worried about the traffic. Trust me! Do the Scooter Tour! It just more authentic and our two guides were fantastic drivers.
Thank you Thuy and Cathrine for giving us one of the best evenings we had so far in Vietnam.

This tour was the highlight of my stay in Ho Chi Minh City. My husband and I did the motorbike tour and our guides Jason and Destiny were amazing. They made us feel so welcome and comfortable and we learned so much about Vietnamese food and life. We were able to try dishes we would not have known to order and see places in the city we would not have known to go. And every single dish was delicious!! I also really enjoyed the short activities they planned in between stops, they were very thoughtful and fun (plus allowed a little time to make room for more food!) Thank you Jason and Destiny for making the tour so wonderful!

First time traveling to Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam? Then this tour is a have to do! My wife and I booked a motorbike food tour and it was amazing. You really get to see the city from a locals point of view.
We were lucky enough to be shown the city by Jason and Destiny and they are the best tour guides ever! They are very engaged and have so much to share about the city.
This was a great way to also experience the local dishes in vietnam that I may not have seen or known to order myself! I learned so much and had so much fun, you really get everything you want during the four hour tour. Really felt like we made a friendly connection in the city and I highly recommend this tour! Thank you Jason and Destiny!

Catherine & Son were very accommodating and attentive to our needs & dietary restrictions. They are safe drivers & we’re very informative about the dishes , its origins and history . We had the best private tour with them planned out by the owner , Vinnie Vi. The tour was top notch with stops at the very best restaurants for our preferences with the freshest ingredients and quality to suit your tastes. If you want the local experience with an authentic Viet food tour , book with Street Food Man. They have the best prices for great quality food and the most amazing tour guides. I highly recommend booking with them .
