We joined this street...

5.00We joined this street food tour in Ho Chi Minh with my 15-year-old son, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. Everything we tasted was genuinely delicious and felt very authentic (some dishes we would definetely not try by ourselves) The group was small, which made it really easy to enjoy the experience without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. I don’t remember everyone’s names, but the group just clicked. Easy conversations, lots of laughs, and a very relaxed vibe throughout the night. Big thanks to Kelly for putting everything together so smoothly. You can tell there’s real care behind the experience, not just a standard tour. It felt more like being shown around by someone who actually loves what they do. If you’re in Ho Chi Minh and want to experience local food in a comfortable, friendly way, I’d definitely recommend this.
Amazing Food Tour with Kelly!

Not-to-miss *Shiok* Street Food Tour of HCM

5.00To enjoy the HCM street fare, we signed up for the "Super Niche Street Walking Food Tour". We traversed several districts, walked through alleys and enjoyed a total of 10 street foods & drinks over the 3-hour tour. Our guide, Alex, a Biz undergrad, spoke excellent English and was very engaging & informative, explaining the variety of fragrant leaves in the Banh Xeo! He was also very thoughtful & adjusted the pace (have a knee problem & used a walking stick). When we were getting stuffed, he did a takeaway of the Banh Mi, so we could eat it later. It was a fun & filling tour, definitely a highlight... It was a fun & filling tour, with 5-star guide Alex!

Our awesome food tour with Emma

5.00Today, Emma took my family and I on this awesome walking food tour. We went to these fantastic little local restaurants and tried some amazing food. Emma was fantastic and took the time to clearly explain each dish, what the ingredients were, and how they were made. In some places, we even got to watch them make the food. She also shared local history and information about the areas we visited which was great as first timers to the city. Highly recommend this tour if you love food and are in HCMC.
