This was an excellent tour, the food was delicious and our guide Eugene was very friendly, helpful, organised and knowledgeable, and speaks perfect English. We were able to enjoy vegetarian and vegan food as well as the standard menu. One of us has a shellfish allergy and this was well provided for. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Great food tour

Very well organised tour. We had a private tour. In our family group of 3 we have one vegan, one vegetarian and one who eats anything. The tour was very considerate to us all. Our guide Eugene was fantastic. His English was superb and he told us about the culture, history and food of Vietnam. The places we visited were very local street food type places which is where locals would pop in to eat. Where there wasn’t a vegan or vegetarian option, Eugene had brought an equivalent already prepared. I would highly recommend this tour as you get to see parts of the city that tourists would unlikely visit
It’s a must do

This is a must do! Our guide, Vejo, was an absolute gem. He shared so much knowledge with us, while we were walking, and not just about the food. He even pointed out some helpful tips for us for other excursions that we have booked already while here… But, let’s talk about the food… what a treat. We explored so many options that we wouldn’t have without a guide. I would do this excursion again. Thank you so much, Vejo!
Vejo was a fantastic and caring guide who made our Vietnam street food tour delicious, informative, and unforgettable.

Vejo was an amazing and caring guide, very hands on, as we explored Vietnam’s best street food. He not only made sure we tried his favorite dishes, but also took the time to explain how each one was made, how to enjoy it properly, and made us feel completely comfortable throughout the tour. We got to explore the city in a way we would have never done without Vejo… It was a wonderful experience, and we truly recommend it!
good food discoveries

We had a really great time with Anna ! After 40 days in Vietnam we thought we had tried it all but we actually had 2 amazing dishes that we fell in love with : crab soup and grilled scallops ! Anna was very sweet and answered all of our multiple questions ! PS : the tour is a little overpriced in our opinion but all of them are. We had a really great time anyway !
Fantastic Family Evening

We have a wonderful time with our guide Thin, who was amazing, very gracious and accommodating. He kept us informed and entertained throughout the tour which brought us to places we never would have found on our own, and allowed us to experience some amazing street food. Kudos to Thin.
Great experience - highly recommended

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Food Street Man! Our guide Grace was amazing — she shared so many fascinating insights about Vietnamese food, culture, and daily life. Every stop along the way was delicious, from hidden gems to local favourites, and we were so full (and happy!) by the end of the tour. It’s truly the best way to discover the city and its incredible food culture. Highly recommended — and a huge thank you to Grace for making it such a memorable and fun evening!
Yummy
