Amazing Authentic Experience

Jerardo_G, Apr 2026
I had an incredible street food tour in Saigon with Vincent, and it was by far one of the best food tours I’ve done. Vincent was extremely knowledgeable and made the experience both informative and fun, sharing great insights about the city, the food, and local life as we explored the streets. What really stood out was how thoughtful and accommodating Vincent was regarding my diabetic restrictions. Every stop felt carefully considered, and I never felt like I was missing out. When the tour typically ended with ice cream, which I couldn’t have, Vincent went above and beyond by replacing it with a customized sightseeing experience that was absolutely amazing and felt truly special. I’ve done food tours in many countries, but this one felt genuinely personal. The food was amazing, and the experience was tailored in a way that made it unforgettable. I would highly recommend Vincent and this street food tour to anyone visiting Saigon, you’ll get incredible food, local insight, and a guide who truly cares about making the experience AWESOME!

A must do tour

Donna_C, Mar 2026
This was such a good tour, made so by our guides Vincent and Hannah who were skilled on the scooters, entertaining and informative. Highly recommended

Enjoy Saigon and eat well on this wonderful scooter tour!

John_M, Mar 2026
Vince, Hanne, San, and Porche showed us a wonderful and exciting evening on their scooters! No better way to see the beautiful city of Saigon. They brought us to some local restaurants and street food areas that were delicious and fun, describing the history and ingredients used. We highly recommend this tour!

An authentic HCMC experience

George_S, Dec 2025
This is a very fun thing to do, combining the chaos of driving on the streets here with delicious authentic food. My guide Kay was excellent and knowledgeable about the tour, and very good at helping me learn how to eat the foods. Highly recommended as an evening activity, especially if you happen to be travelling solo.

Great time in Saigon with food and more

Jim_M, Feb 2025
Very excellent time with An and his partner, rolling through several Saigon districts in search of great street food. We succeeded! Everything was delicious, and the scooter rides were big fun (especially the closing tour through downtown/riverfront Saigon, in all its Tet lights, fireworks, and energy -- arguably one of the coolest things I've ever done). For the faint(er) of heart -- the scooters were perfectly safe, and my wife and I are in our seventies, so I don't want to hear anything about "oh, we're too old for that". Again, great fun; do it!

Unforgettable food tour with Vincent Nguyen

Andrew_B, Jan 2025
I booked this tour on the Viator app just a couple of hours before it started and it turned out to be the highlight of my trip to Ho Chi Minh City. As a solo traveler on a business trip with only two days to explore, I wanted to experience the street food but had no idea where to begin. I also wanted to experience the city on a scooter without having to brave the traffic myself. My guide Vincent Nguyen arrived early at my hotel. From the very beginning he was warm, professional and incredibly friendly. His excellent English made the experience so much more enjoyable as he was able to provide fascinating insights into the food, culture and the history of Vietnam. Vincent took me to eating establishments across the city and we visited the flower market, places I would never have found on my own. He explained every dish in detail taking care to accommodate my dietary requirements. Each stop felt authentic and the food was absolutely delicious. Vincent also engaged in conversations that made this tour truly special. We talked about Vietnamese history, daily life in Vietnam and how it compares to Europe. By the end of the evening I felt more like a friend than a client. If you're visiting Ho Chi Minh City, I cannot recommend this tour highly enough and if you're lucky enough to have Vincent as your guide you're in for an unforgettable evening. If I ever return, I will absolutely book with him again. Thank you, Vincent, for such a memorable night!

Overpriced

Vincent_V, Apr 2024
Great friendly guide. Cheap street food. Pizza on a rice sheet: come on! Way overpriced. Worth 30 usd at best. Paid 49$. 5 stars ratings are asked for at the end of the tour by guide. Also most places visites were within the same food market. I paid for gastronomy, got for 8$ of cheap street food. The kindness of the guide cannot compensate for everything unfortunately!

ScootersAndFood

Ed_D, Feb 2024
We really enjoyed eating at local food stalls. Food was fresh and very tasty. The young guides were energetic and riding the scooters on the busy nighttime streets made us feel like we were experiencing the city. Just be prepared to have your greens fondled as the guides show you how to roll food - not for the queasy.

Great food, lovely guides, exciting scooter ride

Kevin_U, Jan 2024
We had a lovely trip and great food with Halsey and Hanna. Riding around on the Scooter is a great experience by itself (but you feel safe all the time), pair that with nice food and great tour guides, and you have an amazing evening. Also, one of as is celiac, we gave them a heads up before, and all the food was safe (except for a small waffle on the ice cream that we removed).

Highlight of our stay in HCMC!

Robbie_W, Oct 2023
We booked this tour a few hours in advance with no issues. Hannah and Kaylin picked us up from our hotel on time and whisked us around the city on their scooters which was so much fun in itself. We visited several local food stops: nowhere where any tourists would usually find, which I loved. They explained each dish and made the whole experience one to remember. The visit to the flower market and the street food stalls was a highlight. We could ask any questions and chatted about everything from daily life to travel and concerts! Hannah and Kaylin were so friendly – it was like we’d been friends for ages! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour to others – it will be an evening to remember!

The scooter ride was...

Carol_P, Jul 2023
The scooter ride was great two girls great . Food no so good. We still don't have any photos of the night

Fantastic Food Tour!

Katarzyna_P, Jun 2023
Amazing tour with Lucie and Josie - super safe, extremely nice and friendly ladies who showed us great hidden food gems in HCM. Definately a highlight to travel on scooter through traffic and eating at places only locals would know! Both were knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Highly recommend this evening tour!

Motorbike food tours

Grace_L, Apr 2023
This was a great tour, getting on the back of a motorbike made it so much easier to get around and discover all the hidden gems food spots! Our tour guide Jadon was also very helpful and knew many great food places.

Amazing and so much fun

anne_h, Feb 2023
Amazing experience. Best tour of the trip. So much fun guides were great and we felt safe. Food was best food we had in hi chi min city.

Must do scooter tour

Gail_H, Nov 2022
We loved the whole experience. The food choices were very tasty. The walk through the flower market and food street was beautiful and interesting. The drivers were very courteous and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

The best...

poornima_b, Oct 2022
Being a vegetarian I had my own doubts in terms of whether it will be difficult for the guide to find the places that's suits me. But Ken (my guide) ensured that I had nothing to worry. Both food and his company was perfect. I guess I enjoyed his company and his stories more than the food. Thank you so much. It was excellent. I wouldn't mind going again for the same.

Highly recommend!

Sen_X, Sep 2022
Great tour guide, very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable of foods around the area. Great variety of foods ranging form savory Vietnamese style pizza to cool and refreshing boba teas. Thanks for a great time!

cultural event

patrick_c, Mar 2020
The guide was a young student and she did an excellent job. Her name was Kayla. Moving around on a bike with her was something worth to try.The different kind of foods were really a good lesson about the local food. Highly recommended experience and with that guide it should be even better

Great guides!

Imogen_W, Mar 2020
Ngoc and Tony were great guides - very friendly, knowledgeable and fun to ride with. Delicious food and accommodated dietary requirements.

An amazing evening

Tony, Feb 2020
What an unbelievable evening. Words can not describe. Kayla and Sue were magnificent The food and evening ride through Saigon were a lifetime treat. You will never be able to appreciate the skill and ability of motor bike drivers. Kayla and Sue have mastered the art. Tony and Ken

The highlight of my Ho Chi Minh trip

Ciara_H, Feb 2020
This tour was incredible from start to finish. Danny picked me up from my hotel, and off we whizzed to the many colourful and chaotic districts of Ho Chi Minh. All of the food was amazing, and I really enjoyed the opportunity to cook some food towards the end of the experience. Danny was an amazing tour guide - his English was impeccable and he was so kind and informative throughout. I really enjoyed his company and his chat! Loved this tour and couldn't recommend it more! Thank you Danny!!!

Great way to try local food!

Sona_R, Jan 2020
This was a highlight during my Saigon stay. My guide Zac was very friendly and I felt safe on the motorbike with him in the local crazy traffic! We tried 6 different meals in a number of restaurants not just in district 1, but also outside the city centre in more authentic local places. Highly recommend, great way to see local culture and city at night

A must try

Janice_B, Jan 2020
Our tour guides K and Tony were fun and friendly, taking us around like true locals, teaching us how the locals eat. The food was delicious and memorable, was a easy and tasty was to see the city, defiantly recommend as i would do it again.

Awesome tour with great food

Ryan_E, Dec 2019
Jackie was my tour guide. He customized the tour based on what I've already eaten and any dietary restrictions. I think we went to a total of 5 places. So stuffed at the end haha. Awesome food with a great guide. Couldn't have asked for a better tour.

Excellent

Pavla_T, Nov 2019
My tour guide was Jackie, he was brilliant. I have tasted many different dishes. Jackie explained everything and I have also learned a lot about Saigon. Highly recommend!

Excellent Trip

anthonysY106EV, Nov 2019
We were late arriving for the trip due to traffic, but we sent a message and they waited for us! The van was fantastic, great A/C and a very safe driver! We travelled to the tunnels and our guide (Steve/Phon) told us what to expect. We had a great lunch with the other guests, a group of guys from Bangalore who were good company. Then we took a 2 hour drive to Mekong where there were a lot of activities. This was a brilliant trip, great guide, fluent in English and good fun. I would thoroughly recommend this trip as a must do and great value.

Do not pass this opportunity up!

Erika B, Nov 2019
This was best thing we did while spending time in Ho Chi Minh! My husband and I were greeted on time in our hotel lobby by Tracy and Joyce and were promptly scooted around the city to try an array of traditional Vietnamese food. Everything we ate was amazingly delicious. Make sure you are hungry when you begin the tour because you will try a lot of food and you won’t want to pass up any of it. Riding around on the back of the motorbike was thrilling and it was so cool to see the city at night. Joyce and Tracy were outstanding tour guides and spoke English very well. They shared so much about Vietnamese culture and were very fun to hang out with. We actually felt like they had become our friends by the time the tour was over and made sure they knew they had friends in Los Angeles if they ever wanted to visit. Simply put, you will not regret taking this tour. It was the highlight of our time in Ho Chi Minh and we will never forget it!

Amazing food experiance!

donbrown2727, Oct 2019
Our guides where friendly and amazing; the food and experience of riding on the scooters is fantastic, one of our top things we‘ve done in HCMC!

The best experience in Ho Chin Minh.

Karen_S, Aug 2019
Daniel and Ken were simply fabulous. Kind friendly and great hosts. They showed us a lot and gave insider tips to enhance our experiences while in HoChi Minh. I have already recommended this to others we met on our tour. Food was so tasty and the experience of riding on a scooter was so much fun. Do not miss this. It was the best tour we have been on.

The BEST way to see and learn about Ho Chi Minh City

purelyjohn, Aug 2019
I took the scooter tour with Mia from A.N Tours. It was fantastic!!!! MIa took me by Scooter through 8 districts in Ho Chi MInh City and to sample five different foods around the city. This tour is a MUST if you want to have an authentic experience of what life is like in Ho Chi Minh City and also have excellent food.
