Great food and guide

Brie_M, Mar 2026

Somi took me to 6 Michelin rated restaurants. The food was amazing and it was lovely to learn from Somi about Vietnamese cuisine

Incredible tour! Excellent way to experience Ho Chi Minh

Chona_E, Mar 2026

What an incredible tour! I did this with my sister, my 70-year-old aunt, and my 77-year-old mom! We all had the best time. Our guides Anna, Harry, Leonard, and Duck were absolute rockstars! They were so thoughtful and went the extra mile to make sure my mom and aunt were comfortable and well taken care of the whole time. Zipping around Ho Chi Minh City on motorcycles was such a fun, unforgettable way to experience the city! And the food… WOW. We had chicken noodle soup, fresh spring rolls, giant crispy pancakes, rich beef stew, and tapioca desserts (all from Michelin Guide spots). Every single stop was delicious! Highly, highly recommend this tour!

Eat like a local

I was on a day tour with my guy Vy. The food was excellent and really fun. We traveled all over the city. I especially liked the local neighborhoods that we went to. We had pho, pancakes, bạhn mi and dessert. It was an experience that I will never forget! If you want to eat like a local, I highly recommend this tour!

Great time

Great experience. Jason was a great guide showing me around the city. We had great food even though some stalls were closed for Tet.

Immersive, exciting, delicious, and taken care of!

This should be the #1 food tour on your list in Saigon. I did a private, one-on-one food tour with Vy and it was outstanding from start to finish. Vy was incredibly accommodating — I booked last minute, arrived late due to a shuttle mix-up, and he adjusted without hesitation. Before we started, he reviewed the menu with me and made any needed changes. I was initially nervous when I realized the tour was by scooter instead of walking, but Vy was a confident, skilled rider who made me feel completely safe. The food was amazing, the scooter ride was exciting, and the experience felt truly immersive in local culture. I highly recommend this tour and Vy — it was one of the highlights of my time in Saigon.

Delicious Food/Delightful Guide

Great tour. Vy was a delight. I'd been having trouble warming to Vietnamese food and she took us to great spots, showed us great dishes, and showed us how to eat them (which is harder than you might think.

Great way to explore Saigon and the amazing local food.

Michael_D, Jan 2026

Our guides and motorcycle drivers were great, this tour is an amazing way to learn about the city and to sample the local food. Amazing selections and variety. Our guides Jason and Thomas were fun and entertaining. Would do it again.

Lots of Fun!

nicole_t, Nov 2025

Our tour guides were so cute and enjoyable. We laughed all night as we swept the streets for amazing street food. Vietnamese pancakes, fish noodle soup and avocado and coconut ice cream were my favorites. Tracey and Nguyen were very helpful with our schedule because we arrived late from an earlier tour. They accommodated our time change and also changed our tour schedule because my fiend does not eat beef or pork. I highly recommend.
