Great experience and wonderful guides - We had such a wonderful time with Thuy and Catherine. It was the perfect start for us in HCMC, since we gathered so much information about the city and of course about the various dishes. In case you thinking about whether you should do the Scooter or the Walking Tour, because you a little bit worried about the traffic. Trust me! Do the Scooter Tour! It just more authentic and our two guides were fantastic drivers.
Thank you Thuy and Cathrine for giving us one of the best evenings we had so far in Vietnam.

An amazing way to experience Saigon - This tour was the highlight of my stay in Ho Chi Minh City. My husband and I did the motorbike tour and our guides Jason and Destiny were amazing. They made us feel so welcome and comfortable and we learned so much about Vietnamese food and life. We were able to try dishes we would not have known to order and see places in the city we would not have known to go. And every single dish was delicious!! I also really enjoyed the short activities they planned in between stops, they were very thoughtful and fun (plus allowed a little time to make room for more food!) Thank you Jason and Destiny for making the tour so wonderful!

You have to do the private motorbike tour! - First time traveling to Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam? Then this tour is a have to do! My wife and I booked a motorbike food tour and it was amazing. You really get to see the city from a locals point of view.
We were lucky enough to be shown the city by Jason and Destiny and they are the best tour guides ever! They are very engaged and have so much to share about the city.
This was a great way to also experience the local dishes in vietnam that I may not have seen or known to order myself! I learned so much and had so much fun, you really get everything you want during the four hour tour. Really felt like we made a friendly connection in the city and I highly recommend this tour! Thank you Jason and Destiny!

Prolly the best food tour I’ve been on in a long time. - You have to try the Street Food Man tour in Saigon—it's probably the best thing to do to get to know the city a little bit more! Riding around on the back of a scooter, eating street food like a local - Tanya and Sadie, our guides, were incredible. Super chill, totally welcoming, and knew spots that I would have never found in my own tucked away in alleys and buzzing with locals.
Every bite was a flavour explosion. Make sure you have enough space in your belly to eat a lot of food.
They weren't tour guides, they felt like friends, sharing stories and making us feel at home. So, if you're ever in Saigon, hit up Street Food Man.
Big shoutout to Tanya and Sadie for making it unforgettable!

An absolute must the minute you land! - Highly recommend doing this tour the minute you land in Ho Chi Minh! It was such a great experience! There are a lot of touristy options out there but this really felt like you were with friends.
It helps you understand the food (how to eat the food!), the culture and also how to face your fears of motorbikes (and realise it’s actually pretty safe and the best way to get around for the rest of your trip)!
Our guides Tanya and Sadie were amazing. It really felt like we were hanging out with friends rather than guides.
100% recommend to anyone any age.

Thank you Tillian and Grace for taking us to the Lion's Party 😂 - We'd just arrived in Saigon and Grace and Tillian met us at our hotel to take us on a tour we will remember forever. We went to six different local venues and had ten different delicious and filling dishes. Each venue was unique, interesting and even sometimes entertaining. They gave us a real insight into local Saigonese food and culture and the actual tour took us around quite a few of the districts that we probably wouldn't go to on our own. Drinks were included and there was even a chance to drink a local, homemade rice style brandy. Our hosts Grace and Tillian were brilliant. They were informative, personable and professional but most of all they were really good fun. The scooter ride itself made it a lot more exciting than a walking tour and at times seemed much safer than actually crossing the road on foot! I would definitely recommend this tour.

Fantastic Food Tour! - We had the best time with Thuy and her team! They were so friendly and cheerful, and were full of interesting information too. It was our last night in Vietnam and this was an awesome way to spend it!
It was the first time we braved the roads on scooters (our two sons as well) and we felt like we were in very safe hands. It was a great way to see areas of Ho Chi Minh that we would not otherwise see and it was fascinating!
The food was delicious! There was a great variety (make sure you are really hungry!) and Thuy was awesome at explaining the dishes too. We really had the best time and would recommend this tour to anyone.

Thank you Alex and Mountain! - Me and my wife had the best experience with our tour guides Alex and Mountain, the food was delicious and exotic, I will highly recommend them as tour guides they show you and explain very well on how the Vietnamese food should be eaten in their culture, and they also take you to old buildings on how back then the Vietnamese used to live when war was around, it was a mind blowing experience we also had laughs and endless talks they made us feel at home, if you really want to see and understand about Vietnam culture please get them as tour guides and best thing they even teach you on how to speak Vietnamese it’s soooo fun, but again thank you so much for the amazing experience Alex and Mountain, this was my ever first tour guide in my life and I loved it very much!!!
