The experience started before it even started - we had been well prepared what to wear and to bring and what to better leave at home. Then we had been contacted by our guide Thuy to check for allergies or anything we do not like food wise. Afterwards she also sent us the list of the different food we are going to try tonight. Then she picked us up at our place, introduced herself and also got our names. It has been a very warm welcome for this 4 hour tour. After a short introduction we entered the grab and drove to our first out of 6 locations to try really yummy food. Between the 10 really extraordinary food choices at 6 different locations we were walking through tiny streets and had the opportunity to taste a little of the local live. Thuy was explaining a lot about food and people and was able to answer all of our questions regarding Vietnamese life and habits. I really can say, that this was a real highlight during our short stay in Ho Chi Minh City. I can’t remember all the names of the dishes but even this will be fixed by Thuy with sending all the names of the various food by email tomorrow. Excellent!

I joined the tour with my husband and our children (3 and 7 years old). Our tour guide Thuy and Jason were very friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed the tour very much thanks to them. Each street food in the district 3 were tasty and we loved all! The following is for someone like us (with small kids) considering this tour, so that they can have additional idea what to expect from the tour. - The walk to next each stop (5 to 20 minutes) was quite thrilling as the streets were busy with scooters and especially with kids in these ages were not too comfortable to walk. Luckily nothing bad happened though. - I wished there was a shorter food street tour like 2 hours max. as our kids couldn't eat much of the food due to various reasons (tired at night, not familiar with Vietnamese cuisine yet, etc) but yet we need to pay for their food, therefore the cost performance of the tour for us was not so good. Overall husband and I are happy that we got to experience the tasty street food in district 3, where we would otherwise never could have experienced without the tour. We thank Thuy and Jason again for the freindly company, they did really great on the tour!!

We loved our introduction to Vietnamese cuisine! Harry was very knowledgable and patiently taught us the local way to eat the dishes, explaining the various sauces and herbs. There was alot of variety in the ten dishes but all were delicious; and having a few minutes walk between stops kept our appetite up. I highly recommend this tour!

The walking food tour was excellent. Our guide, Catherine ('the Great' ❤️) was amazing. She spoke fantastic English, was very informative about all the foods we ate and took great care of us (especially crossing the road!) She was friendly and fun and we couldn't have wished for better company. The range of foods was extensive - real thought has gone into the choices - and some special touches made the whole evening enormously enjoyable. Highly recommended tour, and you don't eat lunch the day you do it!

We took the private street food tour our first night in Saigon. Our guides were very considerate of our families needs (two young and overtired children) and let the tour go at a pace that suited us. All the family enjoyed all of the food stops and discovering different foods. Also got a most welcome lesson in some basic Vietnamese to help us on our trip

The foodie tour introduced us a little of kind good south Vietnamese food. Our guide, Tanya was very sweet young lady and had a lot of knowledge of Vietnamese food, history, society and so on. Very helpful for us to know about Ho Chi Minh City. She took us where we would not be able to go by our own and we could experienced some local atmosphere. Overall, we had a great time and I will definitely recommend to my friends! お友達母娘と4人で参加しました。 ガイドのターニャさんは、とても真面目な若い女性で、ベトナムのお料理以外の事にも知識が豊富で、いろいろな事を教えてもらえました。 ホーチミン3区のローカルエリアには タクシーで行き、そこからウォーキングツアーが始まります。 私たちだけでは行けない普段のホーチミンの雰囲気を味わえたのも楽しかったです。

We had a great time with Catherine on this food tour. She showed us some great spots, taught us how to eat like a local and even taught us how to speak a bit of vietnamese too! I reccomend doing this tour early on your holiday so you can put all your knowledge to work. Top tip - come hungry!

Thuy is a wonderful guide!! She explained all about the foods and their names, showed us how the locals prepare and eat them, all the while guiding us seamlessly and safely through the throngs of motorbikes from one stop to the next. She taught us about the city’s culture and past, all the while making it both enjoyable and fun. I highly recommend it!!

Thuy was a warm and informative tour guide and the tour was a great way to try delicious food, visit areas we otherwise might not have seen, learn about this vibrant city and hear stories about its people.

This tour is fantastic and it’s really great value for money as well. The pickup and dropoff were in air conditioned taxis, and we did plenty of walking to get to each location. All the food was delicious and rice cakes with soy was one of the highlights, as were the clams we had with chicken wings. There was plenty to eat and drink, and to have a private guided tour for several hours, away from typical tourist destinations, was wonderful! I cannot fault the service, which included friendly Whatsapp messages the day before confirming details, a warm greeting at our hotel, private tour with Gracie, and drop-off. Gracie is warm and friendly, answered our questions, and provided great care in helping us navigate crossing streets. She brought our food to us, taught us about so many herbs, how to eat the food, she removed the skins from our shrimp, made us a kumquat sauce for dipping, shared some homemade rice wine, taught us some words, and showed us how to fold lotus flowers. She was so enthusiastic and lovingly told us about the utility and deep meaning of the lotus flower in the middle of the flower market. She is a gem and I can’t recommend her or this tour enough!

Tam was a fantastic guide, we learnt a lot and ate some great food. We saw how locals live and eat and where they park their scooters!

Our Ho Chi Minh walking food tour was our favourite tour in our entire trip to Southeast Asia! The area we visited was full of locals, the establishments were authentic Vietnamese food joints and the food was the best we’ve had in Vietnam! Gracie our guide was amazing!! She was knowledgeable, personable and so cheerful that she made the tour that much better!!!

My husband and I absolutely loved our private walking Food Tasting tour with Tillian and highly recommend it as a MUST DO tour during your Saigon stay! Combination of tasting the most delicious authentic local dishes coupled with interesting, educational information not only about the local cuisine but also cultural and historic influences relevant still today. Our guide Tillian was amazing! A wealth of knowledge to share and an enthusiastic and thoughtful guide. Do yourself a favour and book this tour!

We recently did this tour in HCMC with Anna, our guide. She was personable, knowledgeable about the food and had a great rapport with the local vendors. She met us at our hotel and we were driven to an area which was much more local and authentic than District 1, which is what we wanted to see. We went to 5 different locations which were a short walk from each other. The food was all great and SO much of it. We finished with an ice cream in the stalls in the flower market. Anna gave us a nice surprise at the end of the tour and then escorted us back to the hotel via Grab. We were not confident enough to go on a tour on the back of a motorbike, so this was perfect for us. We would have never found this area by ourselves, so I would highly recommend this bit of authenticity when visiting HCMC. Anna was wonderful.

Last night Anna met us at our hotel and took us for a wonderful tour of the food offerings in District 3 of Ho Chi Minh City. She was a wonderful food guide being both very informative and adaptive to our preferences. We had an amazing introduction to the delights, both visual and taste as we followed Anna through the maze of alleys and back streets. We loved her insightful narrative and engaging personality. From our experience we would highly recommend the Street Food Man and particularly Anna if you are looking for an authentic Vietnamese food experience away the normal tourist hangouts. Thank you Anna.

This is a must for Ho Chi Min. Great way to see the city and experience all the amazing food the city has to offer. Our guide Anh was fantastic, social and really knowledgable, and of course all the food was delicious!
