K and Kim were amazing hosts. Would highly recommend for any Saigon experience 👌🏾
I booked a street food tour through Agoda, and it definitely exceeded my expectations. The experience was fantastic, thanks to our amazing guides and drivers, Tom and Ryan. They went above and beyond to show us around, introduced us to the best local street food, and shared great recommendations throughout the tour. They were kind, thoughtful, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a wonderful experience. As a sweet surprise, they even gave my mom a beautiful flower, which truly made her day. We really appreciated their warmth and hospitality. Highly recommended!
Despite a booming mishap that was fully my fault, Son came to pick me up and delivered an amazing tour! He took me to some good and niche places which were personalised to me. The 3 hours flew by but it was worth the money! I highly recommend :)
We had the BEST time with our guide Son ! He took us to some amazing spots with lovely and friendly locals outside of the city centre. We will 100% come back to this tour, as we left with full belly’s and happy hearts. The food was outstanding!!
Fantastic food tour. Guides were wonderful. Definitely recommend
Very local and authentic experience. Take you out of district 1 to local markets and vendors. Our guides Nguyen and Phuoc were very accommodating and friendly. Great energy! Highly recommend.
Amazing tour! Both tour guides were very friendly and very knowledgable about all foods we tried. Would highly recommend
This was one of the most fun experiences we had in Ho Chi Minh City! Riding on the back of motorbikes through different districts at night was exhilarating and gave us a real feel for the energy of the city. We stopped at several street food locations and tried a variety of authentic Vietnamese dishes. Kay and Phouc were fantastic drivers and guides — friendly, knowledgeable, and great at explaining each dish and the local food culture. One of the highlights was riding across the Bridge while looking out over the river and city lights. It was beautiful and something we would never have experienced on our own. If you’re visiting HCMC, this tour is absolutely a must-do.
Very nice experience with two very pleasant guides.
Our food tour in Ho Chi Minh City with Linh was absolutely outstanding and easily one of the highlights of our time in Vietnam. From the moment we met her, Linh was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. She made us feel completely at ease navigating the city, and was a delight to host us throughout the tour. The food was exceptional — a perfect mix of classic Vietnamese dishes and local favourites we never would have found on our own. Every stop felt carefully chosen, not touristy, and each dish came with an explanation of its history, ingredients, and how locals really eat it. Linh’s passion for Vietnamese food and culture really shone through. What truly set this tour apart was Linh herself. She didn’t just take us from place to place — she shared stories about daily life in Saigon, answered every question with patience and insight, and tailored the experience to our tastes and pace. It felt personal, relaxed, and genuinely fun rather than rushed or scripted. If you’re visiting Ho Chi Minh City and want to experience the city through its food, do not hesitate to book a tour with Linh. You’ll eat incredibly well, learn a lot, and come away with a much deeper appreciation of Vietnamese culture. Highly, highly recommended.
