Great way to experience Ho Chi Minh City food - Very enjoyable. Tried about a dozen dishes in several different stalls and restaurants. Could NOT have done this on my own. Clara was an excellent guide and driver. Very safe on the roads, and full of energy and humor. Took very good care of me

Ride, Dine and discover the flavours of Saigon - I had such a fun time on the scooter food tour with my guide, Nancy. She was super friendly, spoke great English, and made the whole experience easy to follow. I loved how she explained the dishes and shared little stories about Vietnamese life and traditions—it made the food taste even better. My favorites were definitely the pho, the pancakes, and the Creme Caramel for dessert (so good!). Riding through the busy Ho Chi Minh City streets at night felt surprisingly safe with Nancy driving, and it was awesome to see the city while stopping for different foods. By the end, I was full, happy, and felt like I’d really experienced Saigon in a unique way. Highly recommend this tour if you want great food, good company, and a fun adventure!

Amazing Experience! - We were here for a friendship trip and had a lovely evening discovering street food that we would otherwise be too unfamiliar to order without Hanne, Nancy, and Alice. They were warm, knowledgeable, and so fun to be around, it felt like hanging out with local friends who were excited to show us their favourite eats. From bustling roadside stalls to hidden gems tucked into alleyways, every stop was delicious and offered something new or different. Riding pillion on the scooters added to the thrill and was such a unique way to experience the energy of Ho Chi Minh City at night. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to taste authentic Vietnamese flavours beyond the usual tourist spots!

Also great maneuvering skills in Ho Chi Minh traffic on the motorbike a g) " "Thank you again!! The only thing I would say is to warning of how much food you actually get and a reminder to save room and not finish everything. We got full very early one"

SO FUNNY Street Food Tour in Saigon. Thanks All You! - My friends and I did the Street Food Tour by Scooter and it was so much fun thanks to the incredible hospitality of our guides Thu, Linh, and Khoa. They were so friendly, informative and warm. This was my first time in Vietnam and I can’t thank them enough for making us feel so welcome. ❤️ The tour was packed with amazing food at each stop. Some of the food we tried was: - sugarcane juice - bánh xèo (I loved this, minus the fish meat plant 😅) - phở (don’t eat the 🌶️ like I did, put the peppers in the broth lol) - bánh tráng nướng (Vietnamese pizza) - bánh flan kem muối (Vietnamese caramel flan with salted cream) - bánh mì (so good, bread was amazing) Make sure to bring an empty stomach! I’d also expect you will want to buy a scooter after this tour 🛵 I want one now haha I can’t recommend this tour enough!

Excellent and must try this experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - There’s no better way to experience Saigon than being on the back of a scooter, eating where the locals eat, and listening to the rich history behind their food and culture. Jasmine made every effort in making sure that we were comfortable, safe and received wherever we went. Every stop was accompanied by a storied background of the establishment, the origins of the dish and how it should be eaten. Make sure you bring an appetite; not only for the food, but also for the sensory journey you’ll be taken on as you ride through the city.
