We spent a lovely evening with Christian and Nguyen exploring local foods in HCMC! They were very knowledgable about the city and offered additional historical insights alongside the food tour. They both spoke very good English and we enjoyed exchanging our life experiences. It was our first time riding motorbikes but they made us feel safe and secure. I would recommend this tour and especially these guides to anyone!

We had the best afternoon with Brian and Calvin! The food was amazing (pancakes and dim sum were our favourites!) and it was so fun scooting through the streets of HCM and exploring districts we wouldn’t have otherwise seen! The stalls and restaurants were authentic with plenty of local people eating in them. It wasn’t at all rushed and we had plenty of time to learn about life in the city and get to know our guides! Thank you for an amazing time!

Johnathan, Ly and Arthur were our scooter tour guides in May 2024. They picked us up from the hotel and we started the tour with Vietnamese fried banana! We went through local neighbourhoods trying 11 different dishes!! In every stop they explained in detail what we are eating, thought us some local expressions and shared with us some interesting facts about the history of the neighbourhoods we visited. They were super kind and friendly! :) This was our last night in Vietnam but also the best one from all the trip! Thank you so much guys and hope to see you again! :))) *Unique experience: me making my own Vietnamese pancake on the streets of Saigon! 😊

We had so much fun on this food tour with our guides Kelvin & Somi. They shared a lot of great information with us at each stop about the food and the culture in Vietnam. They both spoke English so well and made the tour a really nice experience. Every stop was well-organized and seamless. I appreciated that the company reached out the day before to reconfirm and the guides also accommodated my allergies/dietary preferences - which I know can be challenging. It was so much food! And it was fun getting to see more of Ho Chi Minh City on the back of a scooter.

We booked in Airbnb. This was a 10 out of 10!!! It was the best part of our stay in HCMC. We had so much fun and really enjoyed everything we ate. Johnathan, Dan, Mymy, and Lynn went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable on the motorcycles and that the experience was fun and tasty! The food was spectacular and they always made sure we had enough to drink, if we needed it. We laughed, we traded stories, and learned so much about the areas we visited. I would do this again, in a heartbeat!

Kelvin and Dan were excellent. The food tour was very informative I especially liked the fact that they went into explaining the diff ingredients of what we were eating along with which part of the country it is from etc. the scooter ride would the city was a thrill on its own, there are not many places left that you can do that . Highly recommend it . All the food stops were wonderful and I would not have discovered it on my own.

Jennie and Win were absolutely the best food tour guides. They drove us around the crazy streets of HCMC with ease and provided us with all the best stops to try the local cuisine as well as provide us with some history about Saigon and how the food originated. Jennie and Win answered all of our questions and also gave us a little sight seeing tour of the city. Would highly recommend this tour when visiting HCMC.

We had great food night hangout with Den, Ly, Cuong and Tien. They treats their guests as friendly and perfectly. They are fun with, and very punctual. The tour program was scheduled well, was on time. We didn't miss anything during the tour program. We ended up very full and almost eat everything. Really appreciate their help.
