Me and my friends had an absolutely incredible time on this night scooter tour! Da Lat has such a cool, vibrant energy after dark, and seeing it from the back of a scooter was the perfect way to experience it. Tips for future travelers: Definitely bring a warm jacket and long pants! The mountain air gets quite chilly on the scooter at night. Also, come with an empty stomach because you will leave completely full. Highly recommend!
What an absolutely great experience! Ky, Ha and Khoi were knowledgeable and so friendly. We had so much fun biking about and tasting local delights! We saw so much of Dalat and the tasty treats it has to offer! We loved the curry and Dalat pizza. This trip is a great way to explore the city, discover local history and taste some of the best foods around. We would throughly recommend this trip!
This was a truly brilliant and exhilarating experience. A food tour on the back of a scooter in Palates manic traffic and getting to restaurants and food experiences most visitors would otherwise miss. Our guide Ly was exceptional. She was a good communicator and was very informative. We learnt a lot about DaLat, the local culture and the food. Got to make our own rolls and enjoy very tasty curries. This is the way to experience DaLat's restaurants and learn about the town and its history. Absolute best value for money too. Very glad we did it and recommend Ly and the scooter food tour to all.
Brilliant food tour by scooter with our host Ly. She was terrific and made the whole tour such a great experience. Travelling around Dalat by scooter at night is a real buzz. Ly took us to several really good local restaurants where we had curries, rolls and other local specialities. The restaurants were excellent, as was the quality of the food. We also learned about about the history and contemporary life of Dalat from Ly, who is a talented organiser too. An inexpensive tour where we got to enjoy restaurants and food that most visitors would miss out on. Highly recommended.
Anna and her friends put on a beautiful food tour! They were safe riders, they brought us to delicious, clean and welcoming local eateries! This tour doubled as a city tour, riding all over Dalat and ending in the hills looking over the whole city, a beautiful view! Anna gave heaps of recommendations and was a great tour guide!
Anna is an incredibly welcoming guide and really open and knowledgable. I experienced a lot of new spots in Da Lat and learned about the local food culture, the city and its inhabitants. Anna picked me up with her motorbike and we drove from spot to spot. mind you, I would have never tried those spots by myself since they were known by the locals and do not cater specifically to (western) tourists. I tried many dishes I have not yet tried in Vietnam and all of them were delicious.
Ly is such a friendly and fun person! Easy going and a good listener. The whole food tour was fun and special!
The food tour I experienced with Mountain on my first day in Dalat was absolutely unforgettable! Mountain was incredibly attentive, calling and texting to confirm all the details, and arrived right on time at my hotel to kick off our adventure. The places Mountain took me to were authentic and bursting with flavor! Every stop was a hidden gem, and the little surprises Mountain added along the way made the night truly magical. It was hands down my favorite food tour in Vietnam!
I had an amazing food tour with Ly and couldn’t recommend it more. It’s especially perfect if you’re travelling solo—you get to experience incredible local food and discover hidden spots you’d never find on your own. Spending the evening with Ly made the experience even better and was absolutely worth it.
Such a great night experience! Exploring the city by motorbike was both fun and comfortable, and I always felt safe during the ride. We got to try some really tasty and unique local dishes that I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. Big thanks to our guide, Tram, who was so kind, cheerful, and took great care of us throughout the tour. Definitely a must-try when visiting!
