Best introduction to the food of Ho Chi Minh City ever

this was an amazing experience! The food was delicious, varied over several courses and stops, and we got to see a real range of neighbourhoods and aspects of Vietnamese cuisine. Jessica, Vy and Vady were amazing -- enthusiastic, caring, helpful and knowledgable. I could not have wished for a better introduction to the food of Ho Chi Minh City.

Fantastic tour with amazing guide

We had a wonderful time on the Ho Chi Minh City Street Walking Tour. Our young guide, Pi, was attentive, thoughtful, and had a great eye for detail throughout the experience. He is honestly one of the best guides I’ve met so far in Vietnam. My friend and I also really enjoyed the delicious food stops along the way, which made the tour even more memorable. Highly recommended!

Walking food tour

We had a wonderful time this evening. Kristen was very attentive and knowledgeable. The food was incredible. With Tet some places were closed but Kristen was able to treat us to several different food options. He also made sure there was a vegetarian options for us as well. He was an absolute delight. Many thanks to him for working today and showing is around the districts. He even made sure we got into our Grab and on our way back to our hotel before he departed. Highly recommend the food tour experience.
