Above and beyond - We had a young man by the name of Jack as our guide. Jack picked us up from our hotel promptly at the designated time, he was friendly, polite and very knowledgeable, and also spoke perfect English with a clear almost American like accent.
The tour was spread all around town, and we moved with taxis part of the time and walked other parts. All places visited were very local with us being the only non-locals around. There’s very little likelihood that we would have experiences these places independently, English was definitely not spoken there. Jack was going out of his way to explain everything we were eating, down to the ingredients and the stories behind each restaurant. Overall, 5 stars experience, I have no complaints and no feedback, the tour exceeded all of our expectations. If you book this trip, try to ask for Jack, I promise you won’t regret it.
One last thing, Jack is not a vegan, but has deep understanding of what veganism is, both dietary and ethically. He kept asking questions testing our comfort level and adjusting the tour accordingly. I’m sure he’s guided many vegans before!

10/10 vegan food tour - Our guide Kelly picked us up and took us to some delicious places serving vegan and vegetarian food such as pho, broken rice and banana dish. Our host was very knowledgeable and friendly sharing local knowledge, navigating the streets and going above and beyond to make our family comfortable providing wipes, distracting the baby so we could eat and altering the route/menu when the children got too tired. Highly recommend, an unforgettable experience in HCM city!

Great vegan food tour with great guide! - Kelly was a wonderful guide, spoke perfect English and took us to eat delicious vegan food we would never have found ourselves! We were driven around on scooters by Kelly and her assistant Henry, felt safe and got to see Saigon the local way! Thank you :)

Best way to spend a half day in HCMC! - Jack was an amazing tour guide who showed me so many amazing food spots. I loved the experience and learned so much about Vietnamese culture and food. Riding around the city on a motorbike taking in the sights was a was great. Would absolutely do this tour again. Highly recommended.

Perfect start to our Vietnam holiday! - Such a fun tour to do on day one of our Vietnam holiday! Despite being our fourth time here, this vegan street food tour showed us parts of Ho Chi Minh City that we were unfamiliar with. The food options were exceptional - way more than we could eat (such a shame!), and my garlic intolerance was easily and happily accommodated. Our guides Jack and Rachel were fun, knowledgeable and exceptionally safe drivers - 10/10 recommend! Thank you again!

Perfect Tour for Vegan Foodies - Kris showed us where to best enjoy vegan food in Ho-Chi-Minh City.
Being it Bánh mì, Bánh xèo or of course Phở. All that while being super nice and polite. He even was able to take the fear of riding a motorbike from my girlfriend!

A very pleasant experience - We booked this tour together with my friend, and it was just the 2 of us - so a private tour :) We picked the vegan option.
They picked us up from our hotel (always nice) and then we rode on 2 bikes.
We started with a coconut water with fruit infusion. Then went for banana sticky rice (I loved it!), the vegan pho and banh mi, then a tradition savory pancake and then sugar cane juice with local "pizza" and sweet potato puffs (i loved these!). basically, better not to have breakfast as you'll be eating a lot haha
Our guide was very nice, good English. Overall it was a fun thing to do.
