Fantastic - One of the absolute best ways to get to know Ho Chi Minh. My sister and I participated in this food tour in August 2024 and had a ball of a time. Our guides Kelly and Ricky brought us to vegetarian/vegan spots that we would not have been able to locate on our own, including in a residential neighbourhood in the city. besides pho, banh mi and hu theiu, we had a really refreshing papaya salad, coconut water… these are not even half the number of dishes that we had that evening. They were knowledgeable, and (importantly) skillful in navigating the busy roads of HCM on their bikes ;) I learnt so much about Vietnamese culture through conversation with Kelly and Ricky. highly recommend this!

Amazing experience! - We did a vegan motorbike food tour with Jack and Tracey last night, and it was totally magical! They were amazing drivers and guides. It was hands-down one of the best and most authentic experience of our whole trip. The food was all so good, and the company was great.
Definitely recommended!

The MOST delicious way to explore saigon - This was THE BEST way to explore Saigon. We went to places we would never have made it to on our own and tried the most delicious vegan food! Kris and Ricky were so friendly and knowledgable and we learnt a lot about Vietnamese culture which was wonderful ❤️ it was an epic journey on mopeds that made us feel like locals and felt like we were being exposed to the best tastes of the town! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others but maybe next time we would do a couple of days into our trip instead of the first day so our bellies have time to adjust to Vietnamese delights!

Great food experience with lovely guides<3 - Great vegan food tour on scooters. Our guides&drivers Kelly and Roger were super nice and friendly and knew a lot about Vietnamese dishes. It was great hanging out with them. And the food was just delicious (especially the banana), the places local!

Best evening in Ho Chi Minh City - This tour is the perfect way to explore the city at night and to get to know great food spots. Everything I had was delicious and completely vegetarian/vegan - it was also plenty so you definitely won't need anything after this tour anymore!
I had such I great time riding around the city with my lovely guide Kelly. She provided me with great insights on vietnamese lifestyle and culture. I just really enjoyed spending the evening with her and trying all the different vietnamese dishes.
It was also my first time on a scooter and she made me feel safe all of the time.
Thank you for this absolutely amazing evening!

Unexpected Delight - Firstly, be brave about doing a motorbike tour. I promise you that you’ll feel safer on a bike than you will trying to cross the road or even walk on the pavement in HCMC.
Secondly, this was genuinely one of the best things we did while in Vietnam. The tour guides were so friendly and made you feel super safe on the bikes. The food was excellent and you learn something as you go.
Would highly recommend! :)
PS the tour will cater to vegan, vegetarian and meat eaters too!

The best evening yet. Great food, sights and lovely guides. - This was such fun. Seeing the sights from the bike and being part of that sea of bikes was just brilliant. And the food was amazing. A really lovely mix of savoury and sweet dishes and our two lovely guides accommodated my eating meat with my daughter being vegetarian. Really, the best evening so far in Vietnam.

VEGAN FOOD HEAVEN - My husband (not vegan) and I loved the food tour with Duy and Liam. Duy was able to cater the tour to include meat dishes for my partner so we could both have an enjoyable experience. Our guide Duy was knowledgeable, friendly and had a great understanding of the vegan foods around Ho Chi Minh. The food was AMAZING! Every dish was bursting with flavour. Cannot recommend this your enough!
