Great food in local places with excellent guide - We loved our food tour! Jerry was an amazing guide. He had so many interning facts and insights and a great personality. We tried so much fabulous food, and felt like Jerry showed us ‘local’ Saigon on the backstreets. All the dishes were amazing but the flan was my highlight. My tip is to wear comfy walking shoes.

Great guide, delicious food, must do ! - Such a great experience ! Our guide Minh was awesome, super informative, really friendly and genuinely kind - he helped us navigate and feel safe while walking the hectic Saigon streets and answered all our questions and more with so much interesting detail and humour too. All the food was ngon lắm (delicious) - so much flavour ! And it feels even better going to small local places and knowing money is going back into the community. It was the perfect length, amazing food and drinks and really helped me to feel comfortable (especially as a solo traveller) and get a real taste of the city. Can’t recommend enough !!
