5.00We had such a fantastic experience on this foodie walking tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Vietnam. It was such a fun and delicious way to get a real taste of Vietnamese food while also immersing ourselves in the local culture. Our guide, Vejo, was absolutely wonderful - warm, knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about sharing the food and stories behind it. He made the whole experience feel relaxed, authentic, and personal, and we learned so much from him along the way. He took us to places we never would have found on our own and explained the dishes, ingredients, and local customs in a way that made everything even more meaningful. The food was incredible, with such a great variety, and the tour gave us a much deeper appreciation for Vietnamese cuisine beyond the usual tourist spots. It was one of the highlights of our trip - not just for the food, but for the insight into everyday local life. If you love food and want a genuine, memorable way to experience the city, this tour is a must. Thank you Vejo for such a fabulous experience!
Highly recommend the walking street food tour

5.00For this food tour, our host Minzy met us at the hotel. We grabbed a taxi and went to the food tour area, where we got out and walked the rest of the tour. We visited 5 street food stalls in all. All of the food was really good, especially the crab noodle soup with a quail egg.

5.00We have just returned from the Street Food Evening Walking Tour which was a fantastic experience. On the day of the trip Vinny contacted us by message confirming details. Minzy was our tour guide and she made it a really fun experience. She collected us from our hotel and dropped us back at the hotel in a taxi at the end. It was our 2nd day in HCMC and we enjoyed trying the different Vietnamese foods and experiencing the streets around District 3. Minzy had a small bag and had everything in it, she could be Mary Poppins 😁. Hand sanitiser, tissues, rain ponchos and small plastic gloves which she helped shelling prawns for us. Bring your appetite there is so much food to try. By the 4th restaurant we were feeling full and worried about wasting it however Minzy asked if the untouched food could be donated to the homeless which we really liked and were very happy to do. We are so glad we did this tour, Minzy was excellent and we’d highly recommend this trip.

5.00Catherine was 100% the best food tour guide i have ever met! I was so impressed with her charm, knowledge, and ability to make me feel comfortable right away. As a solo traveler, it can sometimes be difficult to keep up with everything that’s going on, but she made the entire experience easy to follow and really fun! I with so much more knowledge from the experience than I expected. Catherine truly goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great time, and her passion really shows. She was also incredibly thoughtful about dietary needs. I’m gluten-free, and she made sure to check everything and offer suitable options, which I really appreciated. It made me feel well taken care of, and I felt great afterward. If you’re planning to join her experience, definitely come with an empty stomach you’ll want to enjoy everything!
Amazing food tour with local guide, Mr Thin

5.00We had an amazing Vietnamese gastronomy street tour with a local footy guide, Mr Thin. Very knowledgeable of all the districts in HCMC. The food was unbelievably great and without our guide we wouldn't ever tried or noticed these local establishments and the delicious food & drink they had to offer. We can't thank enough of our guide, Mr Thin and his foody knowledge.
You will not be hungry!

5.00Our Private street food tour was amazing and exactly the best way to experience HoChi Min City. The food was great and varied to hit all categories of Vietnamese food. We also saw some markets with the flower market and lotus flower experience being a highlight. NHung (Tessie) was an excellent guide and took very good care of us! I highly recommend the Street Food Man and Tessie!!!

5.00This walking food tour was really good. We had already done the motorbike food tour and were worried that the food might be a repeat, but the food on this tour was much better. Minzy was a great guide and did a great job at every stop and in between. Highly recommend this tour in HCMC.
