Great food - happy tummies

Huynh is a very knowledgeable local guide. She made many accommodations for my son who has several food allergies and still managed to find super tasty options!! Without a guide, I wouldn’t have eaten at any of these places and would have missed out on some of the best food I’ve ever tasted. Also, I have a super sensitive gut and did not get any reactions at all. We are lettuce, mint and a pile of other things so the food preparation must have been very clean. There was so much food, we asked to cut out one of the stops and move straight to desert.

20 out of 5 stars

There are not enough positive words to describe how much our family enjoyed our walking tour, hosted by the amazing Thuy! Thuy was super friendly, funny and personable, and taught us so much not just about the food but about Vietnamese language and culture. This was unexpected and probably our favourite part! We saw parts of Ho Chi Minh City that we wouldn't have otherwise experienced, and the food was delicious, ngon! The language lessons were also very helpful and fun! Thuy was knowledgeable and super conscientious about coeliac disease and made sure our son was well catered for and safe. We cannot recommend booking this tour highly enough!

Fantastic food and staff

Ana our guide was so friendly and made sure that if we had any dietary restrictions or dislikes to take that into consideration and change the locations for our food tour, she was wonderful with my 6yo granddaughter and made sure there was always some interaction with her to the places we visited and that there was something for her to eat at each location, she showed us a true locals tour of amazing food and cultural experiences on this trip.
