This was one of the highlights of my time in Saigon, my guide Thien Long was a great driver who showed me some awesome food sights through the city! He was also super friendly and had great knowledge on both the foods we had and the history of the city - I would recommend this for anyone coming ti visit Saigon!Highly recommended as the students were so welcoming and friendly! Absolutely stunned to know that they are filled with so much passion and knowledge at such an age to be doing tour guides. Awesome experience and I wish them (Huu Long, Son and Bao Tran) all the best!

This tour could not be recommended more. Nhu and Trinh were incredibly knowledgeable and gave great insights to the food culture and rhythms of Saigon. Their attention to detail could not be faulted, great care was taken in tailoring the evening and nothing was left to chance. To highlight the level of attention that Nhu and Trinh had, a member of the group announced last minute that it was her birthday, within minutes Nhu presented her with a fresh rose! Needless to say each of the different restaurants we went to would have been impossible to find without their knowledge, and every dish was delicious. This experience was the highlight of my time spent in Ho Chi Minh. Go on this tour, you will not regret it!Excellent experience. If you are fortunate enough to get Ngan as your guide, you will have a really memorable experience.

Excellent experience. If you are fortunate enough to get Ngan as your guide, you will have a really memorable experience. Not only do you get to experience a real Saigon food experience, but her ability to explain everything and anything through her truly outstanding English was incredible. Nothing was too complex, complicated or awkward. The street tour of Saigon’s food stalls is very popular, for good reason. I did the tour at the beginning of my 3 week trip as a friend recommended the tour and I’m glad she did. It took me a bit out of my food safety zone, gave me a great introduction and grounding and it’s not cheap (for Viet Nam) but I’m glad I did it.Excellent tour, great variety of different foods, friendly and knowledgable guide with very good English would highly recommend
