Ryan and Nina were excellent guides. Zipping in and out of traffic through district 3, 5 and 10 to show us how the locals eat at local businesses away from the tourist areas. Great value, yummy food and excellent experience. Thank you so much for your knowledge and guide.
Great introduction to the unique dishes of Saigon. It was low season so I had a private tour and was able to go at my own pace. The host was also very accommodating when I requested a special dish I wanted to try. My guide was Anna and it was a lot of fun talking to her and she gave me more recommendations for food and shopping after the tour.
A huge thank you to Victor for such a warm, friendly, and delicious day. Definitely the highlight of our trip. We enjoyed the banh xeo alot! Good food + good vibes = the perfect tour! Such a great way to explore the local spots.
Ryan and Alice picked us up from our hotel promptly. An exciting scooter ride around Ho Chi Min City eating a varied selection of delicious street food. Ryan and Alice were full of very interesting historical facts about Ho Chi Min City, the food, the culture and everything in between. They were delightful company and eager to share their knowledge about food with us. There was plenty of food and drinks, we were so full. Ryan also messaged us with many recommendations of other places to eat and drink in the city. This was definitely an unexpected bonus. 10/10. I would definitely recommend this tour. Thank you for an amazing afternoon!!
This was such a great tour and the booking team and my amazing guide - the Magnificent Mango, went above and beyond. When they found out that I had been in Vietnam for a while and tried many foods, they made sure to find me some hidden gems that I hadn’t tried or some with a twist that you wouldn’t expect. When a vendor was unexpectedly closed, Mango could immediately identify somewhere else to take me. I was entirely satisfied (full to the bream lol) at the end of the tour. And felt safe with Mango in the hectic traffic. I would 100% recommend this tour and also Mango as the guide.
Such a fantastic food tour. My guide Mango was magnificent. He arranged for me to try some different things that I hadn’t tried (which was a challenge - seeing as I’d been all over Vietnam for the past month). He stepped up and took me to places that served the most delicious foods and for items I had tried before the ones he brought me to were better or with a bit of a different twist. Who would have thought of steamed Banh Mi? When a planned vendor was closed early - he immediately had another option for us to go to. Mango also took the time to tell me about different aspects of the neighbourhoods and areas. He kept me safe in the hectic Saigon traffic and we had an absolute ball!!! Highly recommend the tour and Mango as the guide.
It was fun to go on this tour, try new things, and see other parts of the city with Sophia and Alice as our tour guides on motorcycles. They were young, but given their profession, they have a wealth of experience. Highly recommended.
Super nice food tour, we really had the best time!! They brought us to so may nice places, food was amazing, showed us around in the city! Thank you so much Mango, Hạnh, Ý and Phụng you were amazing!!
Nhan and Zen were our guides and they made the night so perfect. We were there for lunar new year and they made sure even with ship closures we went to the best places. They were friendly and helpful and both very funny. Highly recommend this tour and especially those two tour guides !
The tour was awesome, great arrangement by Sophia. Sophia was super friendly, felt like I’ve known her since so long. She was very knowledgeable and accommodating.
