1.00While we cannot honestly provide a review of the food tour itself, as we missed the tour, we can comment on the tour’s operator. Due to an unexpected visa issue, we were unable to join the tour and advised the operator in advance of same. We were told that we could not reschedule the tour for any day in the future, as no other tours were scheduled and no refund would be issued. We checked the Viator website and confirmed that indeed, other tours were available. When we asked if we could join another tour, we were told that while other tours were available, none were available to us. We were then advised we were welcome to book another trip in the future. So, $72 to them and no food for us. There are many other food tour operators in Ho Chi Minh City, our recommendation would be to try another.
Fantastic experience
