The guides were super knowledgeable, when they picked us up they asked us if we’ve tried the restaurant next doors, which we had not. It was an amazing restaurant and they changed the nights schedule for our benefit. The rest of the spots were local hidden gems and we tried food we never would have found before. Thanks to Hung and his team!

My partner, Jarrod and I, did this street food tour on our first night in Saigon and it was incredible! Led by knowledgeable local guides, the tour offers a glimpse into the heart and soul of Vietnamese cuisine. Each stop unveils a new flavour, allowing you to savour the diverse tastes and textures that define Vietnamese cooking.
One of the highlights of the tour is the opportunity to interact with local vendors and chefs, gaining insight into the traditional techniques and ingredients that make Vietnamese cuisine so unique.
The Vietnamese pancake and Vietnamese pizza were my personal favourites!
Don’t skip this tour when in HCM!

I cannot recommend this food tour in Ho Chi Minh City highly enough! My partner, Anya, and I had an unforgettable experience, thanks to our two amazing student guides.
From the moment we met, their enthusiasm and knowledge were evident. They took us to some of the city's best restaurants, where we tasted an incredible variety of Vietnamese cuisines. Both students had a deep understanding of the food and culture, and we learned so much from them.
Each stop on the tour offered a new and delicious surprise, and the guides were always ready with fascinating facts and stories about the dishes we were enjoying. They were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly and accommodating, making the experience even more enjoyable.
If you're in Ho Chi Minh City, don't miss this tour. It's a perfect way to immerse yourself in local culture and cuisine, and a unique experience that Anya and I will cherish forever!

Will was an absolutely brilliant tour guide.
We saw the areas of Vietnam we would never have imagined.
The food he selected for us was varied, plentiful and delicious. It has given us confidence to know what to purchase in future.
Will's local knowledge was second to none and he was thoroughly interesting.
As well, Will was vibrant, positive, upbeat and a lot of fun.
Thank you so so much.
We loved this evening!!

We had a lovely experience with Phi. He was very knowledgeable about the area and the different dishes and was a very pleasant host. We tried so many things and explored areas we wouldn't have otherwise.

Great time and tour by Hung and his friends. Saw some really interesting parts of the city and got to try lots of street food. We couldn’t eat it all. Riding on the back of the motorbikes was also fun. Highly recommend.

This tour was a great time. Hung and his 3 friends took us to a variety of fun places. It was a lot of different street foods, and in the end we couldn’t eat it all. Riding on the back of the motorbikes was a blast. Great experience with great guides. Highly recommend.

Our food tour with local students Tony and Jackie around Ho Chi Minh City was an absolute blast! Riding through the city on scooters added an extra thrill to the experience. Tony and Jackie were so friendly showing us around their hometown. They took us to hidden food spots and local attractions we would have never found on own. We left with full bellies and a newfound appreciation for Ho Chi Minh City. Tony and Jackie, thank you for an unforgettable experience!
