"Gỏi đu đủ"- papaya salad is originally offered in my tour since 2018. The plate of papaya salad included long strands of thinly cut green papaya, roasted peanuts, some type of what I think was beef jerky (the black stuff on the left side of my plate), a wonderful addition of sliced Vietnamese coriander, and finally a handful of extra crispy fritters, kind of like fried crackers, on the very top. *fresh, yummy and a must try
Nguyen Thien Thuat apartment buildings have existed for about half of the century, where we will have Hue beef soup. Most of the people who have been living there do not want to leave their familiar living place. Some of them have been neighbors since the Vietnam War.
Ho Thi Ky is the largest flower market in Ho Chi Minh City, supplies flowers to the city and some provinces in the South of Vietnam. Founded in the 1980s, this is a rare place that upholds the characteristic of the old Saigon.
One of the popular street foods which you shouldn’t miss when you visit Vietnam for the first time. Banh xeo refers to sizzling pancake which contains different ingredients including pork, shrimp, onion, bean sprouts, mung beans.
The journey includes an end. Your guides will ride back to your hotel or your requested places (within district 1, 3 & 4). Looking forward to your next trip! Love you!

I can highly recommend this tour. Our guides Ricky, Levi, Keven and there was other young man whose name I can not remember. All four guide were outstanding, knowledgeable and fun! The food was amazing and thr ride on the back of the motor cycle was also a great experience! 10/10!
Down to earth guides. Took us to many places outside the usual food tourgroups which felt personal. Great knowledge and happy to share their culture which is what we were looking for. Recommend to anyone wanting a more personal tour.
We had such a nice experience. If you really want to have a local food tour, take it. Our guides were Roger and Will, very kind and gentle! We hey took us to local places and explain to us everything about the food. So recommended the tour.
Excellent food great vibes and the motorbike ride was great
Absolutely our favorite thing we did in Saigon! We did all the normal tourist sights before this food tour, but we actually felt like we experienced the city the most when riding around the city on mopeds trying all these authentic restaurants and street food away from the beaten tourist path. Our guides were also absolutely fantastic. They were so funny and energetic and happy to answer all our questions. Their English is also great. Would recommend them to anyone going to Saigon!
Tuấn and Nam showed us around so many spots in Vietnam, all local and yummy food. We went home full and satisfied. Thank you so much! It was amazing
This was such an incredible experience. Definitely a highlight of our trip! I took my parents, age 60 and 61 and we had a wonderful time. There was an abundance of food on offer! We were met by Huy, who was lovely, and he informed us of where we would be visiting. Then Thai and Nguyen joined to begin our tour. Thai was so entertaining, and had a wealth of interesting facts and knowledge about local areas, having grown up here himself. He had us laughing the whole evening. Huy was very informative and lovely, also explaining all the dishes and ingredients. Nguyen was so sweet - he is new to the company and did an excellent job driving my mother around - she had great chats with him. The food was excellent! We particularly enjoyed the beef stew and the Vietnamese pancakes, but everything was fantastic. It was lovely to drive around the different districts and experience eating at local places that we would never have stumbled across, if it weren’t for this tour! The views were also wonderful. The roads were chaotic, as always, in Vietnam, but we were in safe hands and thoroughly enjoyed weaving through the traffic! I would highly recommend doing this tour to experience Ho Chi Minh, authentically! Thank you for a wonderful evening, boys!
Ben, Trung and Quan were great tour guides, very knowledgeable. We were enjoying the amazing food and the very well selected places. Food were plenty We sing famous Saigon song having a drink together... a true party on a bike Fully recommended and Thank you guys for the amazing adventure in Saigon
Doing a food tour on a motorbike through Ho Chi Minh City was such a highlight of our trip. The food was incredible and riding through the busy city traffic was an unforgettable experience. Big thanks to our awesome guides Tom, Bin, and Chu — they were friendly, fun, and made us feel completely safe on the bikes. Highly recommend this tour!
Best experience in HCM! Hats off to Trung, Tom and Chu for keeping us safe and satisfied with the food tour. The best combo team! Would definitely recommend this to all to experience the taste of culture and dine to local food stalls that you can't find online.
