Our guides were super kind and informative about being passengers on the bikes and the street food we were eating. All the food was absolutely DELICIOUS and the portion sizes were perfect, although there was no pressure to eat all the meals. They catered to our preferences and showed us how locals eat the meals. I would highly recommend this tour, and thank you to our lovely guides.
We had an amazing time on this tour! The guides were incredible showing us all the best food spots and sorting absolutely everything for us and completely catering to our needs with 2 of our group members being vegetarian! They were so friendly and told us facts about Ho Chi Minh City as we went around to the different food places! This is an amazing tour and I would really recommend!

Me and my friend are also vegetarian and they catered to us and our dietary needs really well - defo worth going to if your in ho chi min!!
It was wonderful experience with seven today., we enjoyed with him I highly recommend him
Amazing trip and tour guides. Food and the location are great too
Great tour Friendly and accommodating guide We also when through the flowers market. Take the tour with Duc Nguyen !
This was an excellent tour that encompassed so many experiences. The morning was great to see all of the main city sites and the evening food tour provided a much more intimate glimpse of the Vietnamese people and culture. Our guide, Seven, was very knowledgeable and genuinely seemed interested in sharing details about the city and culture with us. I would highly recommend this tour to make the most of a day in Ho Chi Minh.
Amazing experience. Duc, the guide, is a very kind and smart person. Since Im venezuelan living in México and this was my first time ever in Asia (at 38! I know, I should have done it before but… Venezuela) I was really interested on seeing the temples and pagodas so instead of doing the 4 hour street food tour I chose that: I have the Agency my list of “must see” and they helped me to fix the route. Duc is a nice moto drive, as a woman I felt very safe, and he was very patience at waiting for me. We ate amazing food, drank very much needed SUPER COLD sugar cane juice, visited the flower market and 4 Gorgeous temples and pagodas. He helped with the translation and was a great fixer. Jokes aside: it felt very VIP ;) To experience this City in a motobike is a must and this nice young guy is a great option. I do recomend giving a good tip on top since making money in the “West” might be easier than here in Vietnam. Plus: we keep the where of the fortune rolling. Gracias Duc!!!!
We had a good time and were able to see a group of drummers and dancers preparing for the Lunar New Year celebration! As an American, The War Remnants Museum was difficult to look at the exhibits. I found the section about the war correspondents very interesting.
Minh was fantastic, great guide and made the tunnels an amazing experience.
