5.00We had the pleasure of meeting Kelly and her sharing her vast knowledge of her city. We were lucky to have booked the same day and got a “private” tour as it was a slow day. She picked us up on time at the hotel and we started our adventure. The food we tried was incredible. Each stop thought with care. It was nice to chat with her as we walked to the next stop. Learning about her and her neighborhoods made this a special first time in Saigon. Kelly is very passionate about her tours and her country and it shows on the tours. I would highly recommend this tour. I think walking was more intimate than the scooters. Thank you Kelly for such a memorable day!!
Awesome food tour.

5.00This was an excellent tour. Our tour guide Emma was absolutely terrific, really friendly, knowledgeable and easy to get along with. We ended up trying 10 meals, all of which were delicious, we also loved exploring the back and side streets of Ho Chi Minh City, getting a look at some of the local stalls. This tour ended up falling on my birthday, and Emma ended up going out of her way to surprise me with a cake and a singing of happy birthday with the locals even getting in on it. So a massive shoutout to Emma for that, absolutely made my night. For anyone wanting to experience some of the foods Vietnam has to offer, I cannot recommend this tour enough, and I’d 100% suggest asking for Emma as the guide!!
Amazing

5.00Peter, our tour guide, made our experience even better than the food! He was personable, informative, and happy to accommodate the various food allergies in our party. The variety of food he chose was great, and he made everyone feel welcome while sharing interesting tidbits about Vietnam along the way, which was an added bonus. The food itself was delicious, and the tour made visiting local establishments, where it might otherwise feel intimidating to order or try something new, feel accessible and fun. I highly recommend!
Great tour
