MEI is the Best! - When you take this type of tour, it's not just about the food and drinks, which were truly authentic and amazing, but the culture and the vibe. Your tour guide can make it an incredible experience, which our personal Street Food guide, Mei, did! It's hard to imagine feeling pampered when you're in the middle of Saigon's bustling Street Food district, but Mei took such good care of us -- explaining the background and history of each dish, telling stories that kept us engaged, and providing more food and drink than we could eat! It was a very intimate, personalized tour, with just me and my friend enjoying all of Mei's attention. It's obvious that Mei has a genuine passion for local food and the culture of Ho Chi Minh City, and he also has a personal relationship with each of the vendors we visited.
This tour, especially if you're lucky enough to have Mei as your guide, is a "must do" when you're in HCMC!

Excellent Foods and Guides - Wow! This was an experience that far exceeded my expectations. Our tour was led by Ethan, Cici, and Binh who were delightful guides. They provided so many personal touches throughout the evening.
Not only did we learn about and sample delicious food, we learned so much about Vietnamese culture. I enjoyed that the tour included a diversity of stops dotted across the city. It offered and opportunity to see and explore places that we would have otherwise not seen. Best of all, Ethan, Cici, and Binh were especially accommodating to our 8 year old. I highly recommend this tour and these guides.

They were thoughtful to keep the tour within our requested time limit and the food options were authentic. My family and I had a really good time! I can see why others say this is one of the best food tour around & highly recommended!"

What a Fantasic Evening - What a great way to try some street food, that I would normally just walk by. It was fantastic to try different culinary delights with Linh, who explained (in great detail) the dish ingredients, the condiments that go with it as well as the correct way to eat it. I also enjoyed the little walk about's we did with Linh explaining the local history and life of the locals. She's very masterful driving the bike, we seemed to magically weave our way through thick rush hour traffic. It made me feel very comfortable in finally doing something I had considered, but been unsure of (doing a grab bike!). The experience with Linh was well above expectations and I am so glad that I took this tour.

So not only l enjoyed a lot, really a lot of delicious food, but I had the chance of knowing Minh, my tour guide, as a passionate and informative guide and as a beautiful person. We also visited a condominium and Ilearned about the way many people live in Saigon. Thank you Minh, also for driving carefully!

A must-do tour for foodies to experience the food and sights of Saigon - I loved the food tastings that Mia, my tour leader had selected for me. Mia who was my motorbike driver was quite knowledgeable and patiently explained the history behind the various foods. I started my tour at a Phở food stall.
Next, I stopped at a popular food stall to eat banana pudding drenched in coconut milk which by far was my favorite. The ride through the flower market, the narrow alleys surrounded by old apartment buildings was fascinating. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience Vietnamese street food at its best.

A Must-Do Food Experience! - Our street food tour with Grace was an absolute highlight of our trip to Ho Chi Minh City! From the start, she was warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about Vietnamese cuisine.
Grace took us to hidden food spots where we tried some of the delicious local dishes.
She explained the ingredients, cooking methods, and cultural stories behind each dish, making the experience even more special.
If you're visiting Ho Chi Minh City, this tour is a must! Come hungry, ready to explore, and let Grace take you on an unforgettable food adventure. Highly recommended!
