5.00Jenny, our tour guide picked us up (family with 2 children under 10 years) by taxi. Along the way, she told us a lot about Vietnamese food and assured us "when we have experienced this tour, we will feel like real Vietnamese." Jenny was like a buddy. We tried a total of 13 different dishes (soup, snail, ice cream, potatoes, pork, a kind of potato buffer, banh mi, etc) and what can I say?! Es war soooo cool!!! Jenny was super funny and totally nice. During the tour you will move through the hustle and bustle of Saigon from stand to restaurant, across the flower market and through small alleys. It was super authentic and: we ended up feeling like real Vietnamese ;) And our sensitive German stomach also went through everything great! Jenny took our concerns very seriously and paid extreme attention to hygiene. Many thanks to Jenny! It was a pleasure to meet you!
Somi is an ACE!

5.00Somi was just amazing! We were so lucky to have her as our city guide. Not only was her English impeccable and her knowledge vast…she was funny too and didn’t miss a beat! She got all our nuanced jokes and had a few of her own! Do it, you won’t regret this tour. We left stuffed, educated and happy to have spent the evening with Somi!

5.00The walking street food tour is amazing, would recommend it to anyone! Especially if you have just arrived to Vietnam or Ho Chi Minh- the best way to learn what the local foods are which are all delicious. We got fed so much! Very good value for money! And Jennie our guide was amazing- very informative, friendly and funny. She made us feel like friends and a local! We loved the tour, you will too!

5.00Highly recommend this food tour, especially if you aren’t comfortable on a motorbike. Communication was good and easy to locate the tour guide. Our guide, Vy, was excellent! She had great energy and gave us tons of good information about the food, the city, and the culture. There was a huge variety of food and it was a lot of stuff we would not have tried on our own (like snail!). Make sure you come hungry!
Excellent experience

5.00Kim was super friendly and gave so much background information on the area and food we were eating. She was very accommodating of other guests with food allergies and preferences. She also highlighted some safety precautions while we were walking around. At the end she told us to feel free if we have any questions while in the area or needed any help. 13 dishes in total and so much food I couldn’t eat it all. Highly recommend you do this !
