Authentic hidden city gems

We really enjoyed our walking tour of Ho Chi Min City. Our guide Linh speaks excellent English and told us some interesting history of the parts of the city we wouldn’t have found on our own. We went to a cafe with an underground bunker, street food market and tried some local delights. I would recommend this tour it’s great fun!

Brilliant walking tour.

Linh took us on a brilliant walking tour of Ho Chi Minh City, including less touristy locations, such as the flower market, a cafe with an old hidden bunker, local apartment blocks, the Covid memorial, which had a light show, and another memorial for the Buddhist monk who died protesting discrimination against his religion. We also sampled a wide variety of street food! Linh gave us a much greater insight into the everyday life of the Vietnamese than if we had visited common tourist attractions on our own. Would thoroughly recommend any tour with Linh, who is so likeable and professional. Thanks Linh

Walking tour of monuments and street food.

We had a wonderful walking tour of the city , we went to the Thich Quang Duc monument then onto the Old Apartment area where we had the most fantastic "Bun Bo Pho". The COVID memorial was very special and got there just in time for the fountain / anthem at 5pm. Even got involved in a game of Jianxi in the park afterwards. Off to the flower market followed by some delicious street food ( vietnamese pizza, kebabs in banana leaves, deep fried sweet potatoe and wow the avocado/coconut/peanut icecream was yum!) All Nong Wha.

Great tour

Pamela did a fabulous job of organizing our tour and ordering food for us. She took great pictures and we saw the flower market too. The cyclo drivers did an amazing job of cycling us through the busy streets safely.

Saigon street food tour on a motorbike

An excellent evening street food tour to experience the local lifestyle of Saigon. My guide, Linh speaks excellent English and has in depth knowledge of the city from a cultural, tradition, food and history perspective. A good way of seeing several districts in Saigon and experience how the different lifestyles of HCM in one evening. We had 4 stops of food tasting from simple banh mi as a starter, followed by Vietnamese pancake & seafood as main course and closed off with avocado, coconut and durian ice cream. These attractions are local hot spots and only accessible with Linh’s motorbike (which is another must try experience in Saigon). The last highlight is enjoying beers and cocktails at The Acoustic with live local music in English and Vietnamese.

Fantastic tour that allowed us to feel a proper local experience

We had a fantastic food tour by scooter (moped) in HCMC / Saigon with Linh and her crew. The evening tour took place towards the end of our visit to Vietnam, so we'd had some experience trying various dishes on our journey south through the country. Linh was able to introduce to elements of cooking particular to HCMC and the south, and explain the differences, which was fantastic. The tour was very exciting, as we made our way through the busy streets, but we felt safe and comfortable as passengers. Linh is a very professional person, as well as being charming and speaking excellent English, and I would thoroughly recommend her as a guide to the city.

Great food tour with a fab guide

Had a great evening on this tour with our guide Linh, exploring Ho Chi Minh city's best street food in three different districts. It was more than a food tour as Linh gave us info on the city, the people and the history. My favourite place was the coffee shop with a secret, underground bunker. My favourite food was probably the Avocado ice cream but I kinda loved everything we had. It was just the right amount for us. And spending the evening with Linh was like spending an evening with a good friend, so easy going, kind and fun to be with. She also made us feel so safe.

Above and beyond expectations.

My review is about this touring company, not the tour itself. We were, sadly, not actually able to go on the tour because at the last minute, our ship was not allowed to dock at the port near Ho Chi Minh City. We were so saddened by this because besides missing out ourselves, Linh, the owner of the business, had done everything possible to help us not only arrange the tour and answer numerous questions, but also to find a private driver and car to take us the 5 hour round trip drive to the city from the port. Linh was as helpful and understanding as could be with our situation. Unfortunately, Trip Advisor denied us a refund because the cancellation, although not our fault, was made within the 24 hour cancellation window. Linh felt so badly about this that after he received payment for our tour, he refunded my money in its entirety. You could not find a better tour company in Vietnam. (We have used others in the past.). We highly recommend trying this tour because we can’t imagine it not being as outstanding as the people who run it!
