5.00We had a fantastic walking food trip with Catherine and Albert. It was a mix of authentic food experiences and the feeling of getting closer to the locals. Our guides provided excellent service and told us about everyday life in Vietnam. It was both an interesting and wonderful experience that we would recommend to anyone who wants something unique out of their holiday. We were 4 adults and 2 teenagers traveling together.

5.00Thank you so much to our beautiful guide Vejo for such a wonderful street food experience! As westerners that don’t speak the language, we really felt so welcomed by our guide and by the restaurant owners and being given all the hot tips and tricks for navigating this amazing city a bit more confidently was definitely a plus! If you want to eat in places where it’s “locals only” this is the tour for you! We also thought the walking between destinations was a good bonus because there is certainly a lot of food and drink to be had! Our guide had so much great information not only about the food but about Vietnamese life and culture as well. He came prepared with a kit of essentials for us and made us feel so cared for. He even made arrangements with all of the vendors for my husband who is a celiac. Can’t recommend this experience enough! Book this right now!
The best way to see Ho Chi Minh City

5.00Thank you very much to Tran for making this tour special! We loved every stop and loved the kindness and expertise of Tran. She was very knowledgeable and happy to adapt any stop to your preferences! She showed us part of the city of Saigon that we would have otherwise not visited and foods we would have never tried. We are very grateful for this and we strongly recommend Tran for this tour! Come with an empty stomach as there is plenty to eat ;)
