However, safety and cleanliness are not universally ensured in the multitude of hawkers and shops scattered across the city.

Everything you could want - Great experience, great guide. Will definitely recommend! Great for a summary of Vietnamese street food and walk through the backalleys seeing city life close up. Also 10/10 guide for questions about life in Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City.

Exceptional experience! - I was solo in HCMC for a long layover and this tour was an exceptional way to get an introduction to the city! Peter met me near the food tour start and took me to some amazing spots offering delicious tastes of Vietnam! He asked about any allergies and my preferences, goals in the tour, and comfort throughout the experience. In addition to the specific food descriptions, Peter tied in the history of Vietnam to the differences in cooking styles and flavors. He talked about his experience growing up and his family's cooking style in regard to our dishes. The food was amazing: savory pancakes, fried dumplings, local vegetables, authentic pho, spicy bahn mi, amazing coffee and lychee ice creams, sugar cane and calamansi drink, everything was so delicious and well balanced. Peter was friendly and really helped me understand and appreciate the food styles as well as introduced me to the history of some of the city. Thank you again Peter for a great tour! I can't wait to come back and explore more!

We Love Kevin! - Wow! A MUST do in Saigon. Without Kevin's guidance, enthusiasm, and knowledge, our Saigon experience would have been a shell of what it was with Kevin at the wheel. Kevin handles all the details with transportation, ordering and paying for food, and making sure every stop will leave you in anticipation of what could top this! I was in Saigon 3 years ago and loved my tour with Kevin; Fast forward to April 2022, my time with Kevin was as memorable as anything I have done in Vietnam. Don't miss this chance for authentic food with a fantastic tour guide, local, and friend. Thanks, Kevin! On behalf of my group of 5, we love Kevin!

Wonderful way to see the city! - We absolutely loved our tour with Kevin! He was an excellent guide -very friendly, and knowledgeable! Our time in Ho Chi Mihn City was limited, so this was the perfect way to spend our evening there! We got to see areas we would likely not have seen on our own as it was very much off the beaten path for a tourist. Kevin did a great job at guiding us and explaining the different dishes, the language, and history of the city. And the food was some of the best we had in Vietnam! I highly recommend this tour - you will not be disappointed!

Absolutely fantastic! - ‘The food is authentic. The surrounding was absolutely Vietnamese. The walking distance was not too far. Kevin’s hosting is good’ said my father who was not so keen at first on going for a food tour. It was overall an excellent experience and we definitely would not have been able to get to any of those places on our own. Kevin was an amazing host. He even explained to us the different intonations of the Vietnamese language and explained the names of the food, how the food is cooked and eaten. He was very open and our whole family could connect with him and ask him questions and have excellent conversations. He brought us to see other parts of Ho Chi Minh City and gave us a lot of insight into the city and also recommendations outside of the food tour. He also expertly help us cross the road and we felt no anxiety in doing so. His english is excellent and it’s just an absolutely 5 star experience. He also took photos for us as a family and gave us a really unique experience.
