Must do experience in HCMC!

My family had an absolutely brilliant time with Thuy - the experience was five star, from booking, to pick up, to the tour itself, and we learnt so much about life in HCMC, as well as sampling local cuisine in places we would never have visited by ourselves. Thuy was a wonderful guide and we couldn't recommend the experience more highly!

Brilliant off the beaten track HCMC street food tour

Myself and my family had an absolutely amazing steet food tour with Phuong Thuy in August 2026. The information beforehand was excellent, as was the pick up at our hotel. Thuy was an amazing guide, and really looked after us. We enjoyed some fantastic food and saw a side of HCMC that is hidden from tourists. Would highly recommend this tour.

Unforgettable private street food tour with Trân!

Booking a private tour with Trân was easily the highlight of our time in Ho Chi Minh City. She is exceptionally knowledgeable about local cuisine and history, but what truly set her apart was her incredible personality. Trân kept us laughing the entire time and added super fun challenges throughout the tour that completely immersed us in Vietnamese culture. And, of course, the food was absolutely amazing—we got to try authentic local spots we never would have discovered on our own. If you’re coming to Saigon, do yourself a favor and book with Trân!

Catherine gave us a...

Catherine gave us a wonderful food tour and answered all our questions candidly. I’ve done plenty of food tours all over the world, and this was probably the best. She really helped us understand the Vietnamese culture, and this tour was the highlight of our Vietnam trip. She and Vinny, the founder, also took out feedback very constructively and helped us understand why they do things the way they do. I hope you keep up the great work!

Best way to taste local food

Best way to see and taste the real local culture. Booked this walking tour hoping to try some great local dishes and it completely exceeded my expectations. Our guide Thuy, was incredibly knowledgeable and took us to hidden family stalls we would never have found on our own. Every stop featured fresh authentic food with a fanatic variety of local dishes. Come hungry because there is lots of food. Highly recommend.
