Awesome, do it!

We had a great time! Tons of food, and a lot of info. We were picked up promptly at our hotel and taken to a few different districts to sample all this food. The motorbike option was a lot of fun, and Saigon is just fantastic at night—cooler temps, bustling, alive, vibrant. Such a fun tour and great city. Our tour guides were Tris and Kiran and they were wonderful. Come hungry—we were pretty hungry but basically fell into a food coma when we got back to the hotel.

Lots of great food!

Very good value - so much food! Harry was a great guide, had so much information and was very friendly. Lots of walking, visiting areas you wouldn't find yourself.

Fabulous night with Canon

A fabulous night trying an amazing range of dishes in a local area away from tourists. Canon was an awesome guide - lots of energy and shared lots of information and stories. Highly recommended - just skip breakfast and lunch beforehand!

Great tour with Tri

The food tour was amazing with Tri, my tour guide! We explored the city for 3h30 and eat about 20 plates, desserts and beverages. Tri was really nice and explained every dish and shared about Vietnam's history and culture. I was alone with Tri and he adapted to avoid food I didn't like. Great tour but don't eat anything on the day because you'll need the stomach's space!
