Vibrant chaos

Starve yourself beforehand as there is so much to eat. Be prepared to dodge people and motorbikes as you wind your way through the market

I saw Ho Chi Minh and its cuisine

Great tour! Quang- Quinton our guy was very helpful but most of all his knowledge of food and places to see in the market was outstanding. This tour also helps the local people and their cuisine. Did you know there is. Michelin restaurant included in the tour??? I highly recommend this tour, a change to see Ho Chi Minh, their people and taste their cuisine!

Best food tour in HCM

We did this street food tour on our second night in HCM city and it was so much fun! We had Thuy who really took our tour to the next level, not only was the food amazing but she also gave us a lesson in Vietnamese and taught us how to fold a lotus flower which made the tour feel much more special than all the other generic ones. Thuy also catered for my gluten free dietary requirement perfectly making sure that I wasnt left out, and really understood the needs for cealiac well so I felt safe eating all the delicious dishes we had. HIGHLY recommend this tour, you won't regret it!

Great Food Tour w/Anna!

Absolutely amazing tour with Anna! She was fun & lots of energy, extremely knowledgeable of all the Vietnamese cuisines we tried & great company. She gave us little surprises on our tour even a little language lesson I will always remember. Food & drinks were super yummy & a variety of different choices ending with dessert. Definitely one of the best tours I have ever taken.
