Terrific Tour, Fantastic Food, and Great Guide

5.00My wife and I had one of the best food tours we've ever had, thanks to Aaron and Street Food Man. This was a walking tour that took us to many different places for food, but they'll had one thing in common - they were all awesome! Highlights were the Crab Noodle Soup, the Beef Wrapped in Betal Leaf, the Pancacks and the Avocado Ice Cream. There were so many more too! My wife sometimes has a bit of a delicate tummy, but all the food and restaurants chosen by Street Food Man agreed with her no problem, and always very clean facilities at hand. Aaron was the perfect guide explaining the food and gave a really good insight to Vietnamese culture and history. It was all very relaxed and a lot of fun too. Asides from the food we also had a look round the Ho Thy Ki Night Food and Flower Market. This was a private tour for just the two of us, and was perfect, but would also be great for a small group. Thank you Aaron and Street Food Man tours, we had such good fun and would thoroughly recommend to anyone coming to Ho Chi Minh.

5.00Tran was a joy. She was super laid back, and I never once felt rushed. The tour moved at a great pace, and by the end, I was full as hell. Tran drove me around on her super comfy scooter, which I loved. She was patient with my slow eating and poor Vietnamese. I love how they have cards so dummies like me can practice some words. I will be recommending this tour to anyone coming to Ho Chi Minh City. The food was delicious, and Tran was awesome.
Magic with Minzy in the backstreets of Ho Chi Minh

5.00We had a wonderful time with Minzy, who looked after us brilliantly. All the food was great, particularly the Banh Xeo and Avocado Icecream. Great way to see where the locals eat and hang out. We even got to join in with some karaoke with the locals.

5.00We had an excellent food tour around the districts of HCMC with our local guide Mr Thin. He has lived in all the areas and exposed us to amazing food and areas that we tourists would have never found or tasted. Excellent food, guide and areas. Highly recommend.

5.00We had a wonderful experience on the food tour! My husband and I really enjoyed going places that we wouldn’t have found on our own in HCMC. Tessie was a wonderful guide. She was very organized and shared interesting facts about the food and Vietnam overall. Highly recommend!
