Emma was great fun and incredibly knowledgeable, we had an amazing time and saw parts of the city we would never have seen on our own. The food was fantastic, make sure you go on an empty stomach. Highly recommended.

5.00We had a wonderful and enjoyable food tour in Ho Chi Minh City. Mr. Bao was very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing information about the local food and culture. He explained each dish in detail, which made the experience even more interesting. We tried several dishes that we had never tasted before, and they were all delicious. The tour gave us a great insight into Vietnamese cuisine and local life. Everything was well organized, and we felt very welcome throughout the experience. I can truly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City. It was both enjoyable and insightful, and one of the highlights of our trip.
