5.00Kelly & Will were our amazing guides for the day— each stop was a delicious treat that we would have never found on our own. Highly recommend this walking tour to anyone visiting HCMC! Pickup and drop off to your hotel are included along with 10 different local eats, and Kelly texted us the names of everything we tried (much appreciated). She also sent us recommendations of places to visit, can’t recommend enough! We go to walking tours in almost every country we visit and this was def one of the best, we had an amazing time!!

5.00We feel we really lucked out getting Peter as a guide. He was so informative and personable. At the end of the day, we felt we were leaving a very good friend. Peter showed great knowledge of the plethora food we ate, and gave in depth knowledge about the city, the culture, and the food. His English was excellent. It was like someone from our own country giving us the tour. I highly recommend this tour, and you would be lucky to have Peter as your guide!
