Our first visit to Vietnam and friends said that a food tour in Saigon on a motorcycle was an unforgettable experience. Our guides Mike and Andy were outside our hotel to greet us and explain the plan at 6pm. Good helmets were provided. Although the traffic is usually very busy as it was over the Lunar New Year celebrations the city was a little less busy than normal. We felt very safe on the back of the bikes as the boys wove expertly through the roads. We were taken to the oldest part of the city where we had the most delicious beef and noodle soup. After that there were several stops at the vibrant street food markets which were predominantly full of local people rather than tourists. The boys ran off to order and deliver food from multiple stands. Fish, meat and vegitables. Everything was well presented and extremely tasty. The avocado and coconut ice cream was a highlight. Another great dessert was sticky rice with baked bananas. We were back at our hotel at 9.45. I would recommend this tour to everyone it really was fabulous. The boys were knowledgeable and spoke good English. Definitely a highlight .
My first time riding a motorbike in the streets of Ho Chi Minh. It was an experience that was hair-raising for someone not used to the experience but Hannah was a great rider. Then you have the authentic street food. Don't expect a sanitized experience because this is the way you get immersed in the real culinary of the streets.
Asher was our tour guide and it was the best experience here in Ho Chi Minh he took me, my cousin, and my 2 kids age 12 and 15 on a night food street tour and it was amazing! We left so full! If you ever do this tour I recommend this company and Asher as your tour guide!
My boyfriend and I had an amazing private food tour with Hannah and Ann! They where amazing and brought us to several different places (taking into consideration what we like and what we always wanted to try). We tried about 9 different dishes and all of them have been amazing! We went to flower market and several different districts. I highly recommend the tour and especially our amazing Tourguides Hannah and Ann. There English was very good and they are both super knowledgeable about the food, the city and the culture. Also very good and safe motorcycle drivers. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City. Thanks for the great tour!! Kind regards, Ana and Aless
An experience that everyone should go through if in Ho Chi Minh! And my tour guide was so knowledgeable and took me to stalls that were obviously only known to local people. His name is Minh and him as a guide and the company are both highly recommended!
A fantastic experience! Great way to see the city and sample incredible food. Our tour guides Ken and Asher were very friendly and helpful! Went above and beyond to make our holiday an unforgettable experience.
We are from Australia and have three children aged 3,8 and 10. This tour was one of the many highlights of our 2 week stay in Vietnam. As a result of doing this tour with VN Bike Tours we did 2 other tours with them whilst in Vietnam. Amazing 10/10!
