really fun, welcoming food experience with Sarah

Sarah was absolutely amazing! She was so sweet, helpful, knowledgeable, and funny, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We learned so much from her and got to try so much food along the way. Everything was delicious, and we left full, happy, and with a much better appreciation for the food and culture. Highly recommend booking with Sarah!

Good local experience

I was with Evelyn and she was very nice and I enjoyed her company and I recommend her. I did the tour and I was the only one. Which gave it a more personalized feeling but if you are looking to meet more people this might not be the place else it’s a great way to meet a local who teaches you about the dishes and the culture. I booked the cyclo option and that I wouldn’t recommend. The cycle was barely moving, walking was faster. we only rode for 15-20 min when the description says 40 min and I didn’t get to really see anything interesting as we barely moved but I guess depends on the driver you get. We also saw the train pass by which I was not expecting so that was a good plus to compensate.
