5.00Phoenix our tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. The tour has well selected restaurant showcasing different Vietnamese dishes such as banh mi, banh xeo, banana fritter, egg coffee, spring rolls, etc. By the end I was full. My favorite now is the dry beef noodle salad I got to sample on the tour.
Great tour, fantastic memorable experience

5.00This was an amazing experience! Alex the tour guide was great, couldn’t have been better. Friendly and knowledgable. We tried 5 different amazing dishes, of which I probably wouldn’t have had the chance to try without being aware of them. We finished at train street, which made for a great experience. The other people on the tour were great, and as a solo traveller this was great way to meet new people. 10/10, do it if you are reading this!

5.00Phoenix was a great tour guide. We went to six different places to try a variety of speciality dishes! Definitely do this tour early on to learn a few dishes and spots to eat, Phoenix also provided recommendations for dinner and other sightseeing activities. We were on a small tour with three other people, would highly recommend!
