Loved it so much! - Unbelievable!!!!!! This was one of the best tours I’ve ever had. Scooting around Ho Chi Minh with the expert driving of Quyen while my partner drove around with Truc was next level. The food stops were delicious, Quyen and Truc were accommodating, friendly, kind and SO funny. I love how they take photos for you so I didn’t have to take out my phone and could just enjoy it fully. I can’t recommend this tour enough. You won’t want to miss this while in Ho Chi Minh. Thank you again Quyen and Truc for a truly memorable experience.

A must-do for first time visitors! - A must-do for a first time visit to HCMC/Saigon. We went for my friends bachelor's, and our group didn't really plan this trip. An acquaintance recommended back of the bike tours and so I booked a tour for the boys after watching on YouTube. While the price may seem steep for street food, you get so much more than that. Not only do you get free flow food and drinks (yes, including beer), you also get transportation taken care of as well as your own personal tour guide driving you around the city. I loved experiencing the city like a local, on the back of the bike, while chatting with my tour guide (unfortunately I forgot how to write her name 😅) about vietnamese culture and history. As a final add on they even took a lot of pictures and sent them to us via Google drive, which was amazing as us boys like to forget to take pics sometimes. All in all, super fun experience, if this is your first time in Saigon, I would highly recommend this tour so you can experience the city like a local!

- This tour was the highlight of our trip to Vietnam. Riding on the back of a scooter through Saigon’s buzzing streets was exhilarating—but the real star was the food. From sizzling pork skewers to delicate crab soup, every stop offered something authentic and delicious. Our guides were all knowledgeable, fun young women with excellent English. They made us feel completely safe weaving through traffic, and brought the city’s food culture to life with great stories and energy. We visited parts of the city we’d never have found on our own and wrapped up the evening with full bellies, big smiles, and a folder of great photos. A perfect blend of adventure and culinary discovery—don’t leave Saigon without doing this.

Brilliant food tour of Saigon on a motor bike - Had great afternoon touring Saigon street food and small restaurants. Phuang Anh and Linh 4 were our guides and bike drivers. Besides their excellent driving through the city streets and alleys they are knowledgeable about the food and how to eat it. The tour takes into account any dietary requirements that you have. A great fun experience. Thank you.

Great fun and superb food - My adult son had spotted this tour - it suited he and I as the rest of our family members are a bit fussy on the food side. It was a good 4 hour trip to 5/6 food locations around HCMC - riding with the lady drivers was fab fun - they were very safe drivers in what can only be described as chaotic traffic. We both loved the food - a wide range of local Vietnamese offerings - lots of it and very tasty. Also provided a range of drinks eg beer, soft drinks as much as you wanted. Well organised - they picked us up from our hotel and dropped us off again at the end. great nights entertainment - highly recommend even though for it’s a little on the pricey side, but well worth it. Memorable evening.

A blast of a night - Ms Hao and Ms Nhi were hilarious, generous and very sharp in their night-time tour of Ho Chi Minh City’s restaurants and back streets. We learnt about so much apart from food, and the food itself was glorious. It was a night we won’t forget. Thank you and good luck Ms Hao and Ms Nhi

The very BEST way to explore the real Saigon! - Surely one of the very best ways to explore the real Saigon and to experience daily life - and some amazing food, first hand. Of course it also helps to be accompanied by two of the most FANTASTIC guides - Kim and Tao, who were knowledgable, interesting and lots of fun - and excellent motorbike drivers! This tour should be compulsory for anyone wishing to really get to know Saigon! AMAZING!
