Saigon’s BEST

Stephan is hands down the best guide you’ll find in Saigon. His depth of knowledge and the hidden gems he shares will completely change the way you see the city and its culture. I felt completely safe on the motorbike throughout, and the experience was so good I had to book a second tour. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an authentic, local perspective on Saigon.

Made me feel at home in Vietnam's streets!

Great experience for solo travelers!

I did the street food and sightseeing tour with Stephan while in HCMC and I honestly had a great time. Even though I was the only one who booked the tour that time, Stephan made the experience really enjoyable and comfortable. He was very nice, friendly, and easy to talk to. The tour was a great mix of sightseeing and trying different local street foods. I also appreciated how he shared recommendations and information about the city throughout the tour. It felt more personal because it ended up being just the two of us, and I never felt awkward at all. Highly recommended if you want a fun and relaxed way to explore HCMC!

Intro to HCMC

I did not have a plan for HCMC so I decided to do this tour to get an idea on what to see, eat, and do. Great decision! My driver was Stephen. Because I was the only one, I got an intimate session with him and the itinerary was suited to what I wanted to do and eat. I like that I got to pick what food I wanted to eat as I was also traveling for almost 2 weeks in Vietnam and didn’t need to try the basics. Additionally, I was also able to ask Stephen about all the other foods that I have seen on my trip. Because it was just the two of us, I was able to ask a lot of questions about everything. Stephen’s English was clear and good. He also provided me with additional recommendations of where to eat what I’m interested in after the tour. I would recommend this for your first day / night in HCMC just to get your feet wet.

Operator response

We are thrilled that booking our tour was a "great decision" and the perfect way to get your feet wet in Ho Chi Minh City. 😊 It’s fantastic to hear that Stephen provided such a personalized, intimate experience, tailoring the itinerary to your tastes after two weeks of traveling in Vietnam, and that his clear English and extra food recommendations were so helpful. Your high recommendation for first-timers in HCMC means the world to us, and we hope to welcome you back for more culinary adventures in the future! 🛵🍜✨

3 hours of joy

We did a night food tour with Stephan and An, it was amazing! They brought us to an amazing bun thit nuong place as a starter. A little bit of history of the city as well. We also went to a lovely food & flower market. Tried all the traditional local snacks and drinks recommended by Stephan and An. The bike drive was fantastic and I couldn’t recommend them enough. Saw a beautiful view of the city and bridge. They answered all of my questions beautifully and there were no language barriers at all. Definitely worth the price. The tour was around 3 hours, perfect duration. Book the tour with them!

Operator response

We are absolutely thrilled that Stephan and An gave you 3 hours of pure joy, from the amazing bún thịt nướng and vibrant flower market to the fantastic motorbike ride, beautiful city views, and seamless communication. Your high recommendation and praise for their knowledge mean the world to us, and we hope to welcome you back for more delicious adventures in Ho Chi Minh City! 🛵🍜✨
