5.00Jay was a fantastic host. I was very nervous exploring the busy streets of Ho Chi Minh City but he made me feel totally at ease and introduced me to many amazing foods, taking all my requests into account. Would happily recommend this tour to anyone knew to Vietnam.
Great experience for solo travelers!

5.00I did the street food and sightseeing tour with Stephan while in HCMC and I honestly had a great time. Even though I was the only one who booked the tour that time, Stephan made the experience really enjoyable and comfortable. He was very nice, friendly, and easy to talk to. The tour was a great mix of sightseeing and trying different local street foods. I also appreciated how he shared recommendations and information about the city throughout the tour. It felt more personal because it ended up being just the two of us, and I never felt awkward at all. Highly recommended if you want a fun and relaxed way to explore HCMC!

5.00I did not have a plan for HCMC so I decided to do this tour to get an idea on what to see, eat, and do. Great decision! My driver was Stephen. Because I was the only one, I got an intimate session with him and the itinerary was suited to what I wanted to do and eat. I like that I got to pick what food I wanted to eat as I was also traveling for almost 2 weeks in Vietnam and didn’t need to try the basics. Additionally, I was also able to ask Stephen about all the other foods that I have seen on my trip. Because it was just the two of us, I was able to ask a lot of questions about everything. Stephen’s English was clear and good. He also provided me with additional recommendations of where to eat what I’m interested in after the tour. I would recommend this for your first day / night in HCMC just to get your feet wet.

5.00We did a night food tour with Stephan and An, it was amazing! They brought us to an amazing bun thit nuong place as a starter. A little bit of history of the city as well. We also went to a lovely food & flower market. Tried all the traditional local snacks and drinks recommended by Stephan and An. The bike drive was fantastic and I couldn’t recommend them enough. Saw a beautiful view of the city and bridge. They answered all of my questions beautifully and there were no language barriers at all. Definitely worth the price. The tour was around 3 hours, perfect duration. Book the tour with them!
Amazing experience!

5.00I went on an early evening tour to discover new places, cultures, and street food. A young student guided me, driving the bike safely and explaining everything clearly. I felt secure throughout the ride. I’d recommend wearing a face mask, as the roads can be quite busy with traffic.
