Elise took the initiative to offer us the option of a later food tour (i.e., cooler early evening rather than very hot early afternoon); we really appreciated that! She started in the Ben Thanh Tourist Market, explaining how we could purchase items there with confidence. All through the evening, she provided us with good tourist tips and interesting facts about Vietnam, particularly the culture of Southern Vietnam. The food places Elise took us to were varied, and everything was truly delicious, particularly the last food of the evening. It was a dish from her home town in the Mekong Delta, and it was indeed a wonderful way to end the evening. Elise has an engaging personality and knows the city well. We would not hesitate to recommend taking her food tour any time! Oh, and she takes great photos, too!

Hey Spring, is awesome! We had a great time with you Spring! Thank you for taking us around and for showing us off the beaten path around Saigon. Spring is very friendly and informative. I especially appreciated how she shared about what her life is like here in Vietnam. It really helped me see the way she lives that we as tourists don’t get to see easily. Much appreciation to Spring! Highly recommend!

Such a lovely tour with Elise. She was the perfect host. We tried so many things that we would not have otherwise tried. Elise made a point of sharing on the food she would eat herself, and avoiding some of the more commercialised non- traditional unhealthy food too popular today. Elise was a joy to spend 3 hours with.

Spring was amazing! We did a true food tour and it was unbelievable! She is super knowledgeable of all the great spots! When I say w3 are our way through Saigon we did! Everything was delicious!!

We had an amazing time during our tour with Elise. She showed us really tasty Vietnamese dishes and where to find them. Also we learned a lot about the culture and the traditions of her country. I can definitely recommend you to book a tour with her!

My husband and I enjoyed our evening with Elise. She took us around to many locations trying some of the local favorites Siagon has to offer. I am gluten intolerant and Elise took care to make sure that that there was a lot of things I could eat and not get sick - really appreciated the care given to this. We loved everything we ate and even made a couple of extra stops to by some skin care products she recommended. We had a great time, learned a lot and left with very full bellies. Loved this tour - thanks again Elise!!

This was our second tour with Hieu and it matched our first - an excellent tour and one of the best we've ever done. Hieu opened our eyes (and taste buds) to a world of Vietnamese cuisine we knew nothing about, which allowed us to enjoy the rest of our time in Vietnam much more, as we knew what and where to find the best food. We visited Michelin-recommend holes in the wall, street sellers, and some of the best Banh Mi ever. And we delved deeper into the local markets, discovering local delicacies. We highly recommend this tour to any food enthusiast, or to anyone looking to discover the richness of Vietnamese cuisine.

What a fun evening! We met Hieu, and he immediately started giving us information about Ho Chi Minh City and the food to expect. Conversation was lively. We walked through neighborhoods and alleyways we would never have found or explored on our own. From bahn mi to coffee to pho to snails to dumplings—the food was delicious and very plentiful. Our last stop was for ice cream. Hieu knew “the aunties” where we stopped, and all the food was safe and interesting. An added bonus was an intimate look into neighborhood life in the city. We highly recommend this tour and would take additional tours with Hieu’s company.

Our food tour with Hieu was fabulous!!! His English was excellent and he took us off the standard tourist map to sample 9 examples of authentic Vietnamese foods and drinks. He also dealt effectively with a food allergy that had us worried, translating and explaining it to the vendors. Along the way he taught us some things about Vietnamese culture and lifestyle. It was a once in a lifetime experience and we are so thankful to Hieu

This tour was great! Spring was kind and friendly and took us to eat Vietnamese foods we wouldn’t have tried on our own. Highly recommend this tour. Good value for your money. Vegetarian options available.

We had an amazing time with Hieu. The tour was perfectly organised and Hieu even picked us up from our hotel. We then spent the evening enjoying local spots, food and history. Hieu answered all of our many questions and customised the tour to our preferences. Just one word of advice, come hungry. You are going to eat a lot! Highly recommended.

We had a great food tour of Ho Chi Minh City with Elise our guide. We learned quite a bit of the history and best local food stops along the way. We tried a number of different local dishes that we would have otherwise tried or even known about. We would definitely recommend Elise.

Hieu is kind, funny, and knows his history! We had a great time walking around Ho Chi Minh with him. Everything we ate and drank was delicious! It was our first day in the city so Hieu taught us how to properly cross the busy streets with confidence! So happy we started our trip with him!

Fabulous guides and great food. We had a very informative and fun time with Hieu and Spring. The tour was more than just an eating experience

If you are coming to Saigon you absolutely need to book a tour with spring and Hieu!! It was the highlight of our trip!! We learned so much from Hieu and had the best time hanging with him.. it felt like we were with an old friend! Not to mention the food was amazing and we really felt like locals. Thank you Hieu!! Incredible tour!

Hieu met us promptly as arranged and had arranged a car because of my partner's mobility issues. Throughout the tour he took great care of her. We had the most delicious soup ever followed by bank mi, coconut coffee, juices, summer rolls, dumplings...Along the way we talked about life in Vietnam today and when we visited the house of a war hero, about the American War and its impact. We finished with the most delicious vegan ice cream before Hieu put us in a Be (like Uber) back to the port.

We had Spring as our guide and she was wonderfully informative about the culture and foods of Saigon. She took us to a number of street restaurants, food market vendors, and through the flower market. Spring peaks excellent English and provided many opportunities on the walking tour (mixed with some car rides) to sit down for a new food experience. I highly recommend this tour if you want to experience authentic community eating.

This was a fantastic tour! Ram introduced us to some amazingly tasty vegan dishes which we would never have found ourselves. The food stops took us through a variety of interesting neighbourhoods in the heart of the city giving us a much greater insight into the real Saigon than any standard tourist tour. Ram is a mine of information about Vietnamese history and culture and we really enjoyed finding out more about daily life in Saigon. Very good value and highly recommended!

Being a big fans of Vietnamese cuisine already Anna showed us meals and places we wouldn't try ourselves. And, no surprise, these were awesome! Anna was also really nice and modified the planned route to allow us leave earlier (we had a flight to catch) but still enjoy all the tastes! Big thanks!

Elise took us on a gastronomic adventure through the streets of Ho Chi Minh City. We tasted food for the first time which was packed with so much flavour and texture. Not only was this a food adventure, we were also taught about the rich history and culture of Vietnam. Elise was very warm and funny. Going on tour with Elise was definitely one of the highlights during our visit to Vietnam and we absolutely would recommend Elise to all our friends and family.
