Food tour guides safely get you through crazy traffic on motor bikes to stuff you with amazing and tasty Vietnamese food. - Greated by Ngoc. She was friendly and knowledgeable. Put me at ease even though it was only my second time being on a motor bike in the crazy Ho Chi Minh traffic. We met up with tow of her co-workers and their two clients and went to each food experience together. Started with coconut juice and com quat drinks which were flavorful and cold which hit the right spot. Next food spot was a park where we had Vietnamese papaya salad with dried beef jerky. It was different than Thai papaya salad I have enjoyed in the past, so it was nice to see how Vietnamese people flavor their food. Next up we went to a local food stop where I had my favorite dish the beef stew. The beef was tender and full of amazing spices. The chef and owner of the restaurant even showed us the raw ingredients she uses to make the stew. She uses the spices to make 30 kilograms of beef for the stew each day. Stop #4 was banh Xeo which is almost like French crepes but filled with shrimp, pork belly, bean sprouts and onions that you rap with salad, and different herbs like perilla leaf, Thai basil, mustard greens, mint and cilantro. Delicious and healthy. Stop #5 was banh mi sand which. The restaurant makes their baguettes fresh every day. Filled with pork belly, pork sausage, pate, and pickled vegetables and sliced cucumber. We then went to the flower market which was a cornucopia of beautiful colors and sents. There we sat down at a street restaurant to have Vietnamese pizza and ban bo la lot (minced beef wrapped in bettle leaf). desert was Vietnamese flan cake. I was stuffed with food and knowledge by the end of the food tour. The tour guides were responsive to our questions and any thing we needed such as requesting not to include pate in the banh mi as not everyone enjoys pate. I'm glad I went on the food tour to learn more about Vietnamese food and culture.

Authentic Vietnamese Food via Scooter - My wife and I booked this last minute and the tour company was wonderful. They responded quickly and set everything up in record time. We were picked up at our hotel by Trung and An, 2 very intelligent and friendly young men, and were on our way via scooter to our first of 9 stops. Trunk and A were excellent drivers and it was fun riding scooters around. The food was fantastic. Every food dish was authentic. We especially enjoyed to Beef Stew (Bó Kho). We would highly recommend this tour and Trung and A would be excellent choices for tour guides.

Not to be missed! - An absolute must when you are in Ho Chi Minh. This food tour is the perfect way to experience the city and get a taste for delicious local foods and drinks. My driver Andy was genuinely such a delightful person, he had an incredible depth of knowledge and gave me some great recommendations to some of his favourite places. Ricky, who also does walking tours gave us such a great perspective on the history and culture behind some of the foods and the neighbourhoods we visited and Chu and Bin were really wonderful and helpful and charismatic. Such a great group of guys running these tours. You’re in the best hands. This was truly such a highlight and made me fall deeply in love with this great city and all it has to offer.

Do it! - Highly recommend this tour. I was not expecting to be the only one on the tour but my guide Ricky was amazing! I trusted my life in his hands on the motorbike. He made me feel safe and comfortable the whole time. He was easy to talk to and such a nice person! I loved all the places he took me. Starting off with a delicious coconut & kumquat drink. So refreshing! We also had papaya salad, yummy beef stew, stopped for coffee to get a caffeine boost. The coffee was so good! Ricky expertly navigated the streets and I did not feel scared that we would crash at any point. We also had sugar cane juice, Vietnamese pizza, and a delicious coconut flan with ice and coffee for dessert. Yumm! Even though I was sooo full by the end of the tour, I had to take some food back with me for later lol. Highly recommend! Thanks Ricky for being the best guide!

Top Notch is top notch!! - It was certainly a thrill to ride with my driver Michael. He was so knowledgeable about his beautiful country. I felt safe as he expertly navigated the streets. The food selection was like no other Vietnamese food I’ve eaten. There was another couple who signed up for this tour and it was perfect for us to keep together in a group. We had little to no wait and were served as soon as we sat down or arrived. Expect to eat like a local, sometimes on small plastic stools. Each driver took turns at explaining the food we were about to eat. It was informative as well as exhilarating to be on the motorbikes as a passenger.

Their names says it all—they’re really Top Notch! - This tour is something that must be done when you’re in Vietnam. We rode as passengers on the motorbikes through the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, and our guides were excellent drivers. They took us to little known hidden gems and before we ate the foods, they took time to explain and describe how the foods were prepared and what region the foods came from. It was a very educational and exhilarating experience and I felt very safe with my driver. There was one other couple and our little group of four (or 8 including the drivers), was a perfect size to get to know each other, and navigate as a small group. Very little waiting at each food stop. Highly recommend Top Notch street Food Motorbike Tour. #cruiseonawhim

Great night with good food and laughter - I was joined by two other people so in total there was 3 people in my group. Our three guides Bow, Bin and Liam were fantastic, they knew the everything about the food and got us to each spot safely. I would like to make special mention of Bin who was my driver, he was very engaging and a good driver. High recommend this company as a must do.

Amazing experience enjoying so many dishes and exploring HCMC by motorbike - We had a great time with Brian and Linh exploring the city and trying so many delicious dishes! We chose the vegetarian tour which was perfect and felt like we still could experience many authentic foods. Our guides were excellent drivers so we felt very safe getting around. Thank you! 😊
