Let's go (đi thôi)! - I had the best tour with Nhu. He introduced me to many new dishes, my favourite was the broken rice and Banh Xèo. Nhu also taught me some great Vietnamese sayings which have been helpful for the rest of my trip. Definitely recommend this trip!

Bike tour round to best food stops learning about the dishes and how to eat them - Possibly one of the best things I’ve done in travelling ever! Went with 5 friends, was during 50 year independence preperations so roads were chaos but Henry, Priscilla, Nhu, Pham and Anthu (sorry if I misspelt any names!) were super amazing about finding best routes etc. Not only were they so hospitable but also so much fun and the 10 of us had the best time, while also teaching us about Vietnam and the food. Special trip would highly recommend to everyone whether you’re a foodie or just want to meet nice people or understand more about Vietnam! Thank you so much!

Paris by Mouth Fantastic Food Tour with Aurélien - If you are in Paris and you care about food book a tour with Paris by Mouth. If you want a terrific tour with boulangerie, fromage, chocolate, wine and patisserie, Aurélien will give you a great experience in 3 hours, with a little bit of history and a fantastic knowledge, expertly guiding you to what you want to taste. Highly recommend!

A highlight to our trip - Our Guide, Ted, was amazing. He led us through alley ways and talked about the history of Saigon and pointed out significant buildings. The food we ate was amazing and authentic. Ted taught us the correct way of eating certain foods and explained what the leaves were that we were eating. This was a highlight of our trip. But of advise though - wear comfortable walking shoes.

Amazing guides and great food! - This was one of the most memorable parts of my trip! The guides were so friendly and fun to talk to. The food was some of the best food I’ve had in HCMC. Also, loved riding on the motorbikes- I felt completely safe! I would recommend this to anyone.

Best street food experience for new Vietnam tourists - We toured with two students Gecko and Trang who were excellent, safe riders, catered to our food preferences and great to chat with about their culture and home life. We would highly recommend this tour! Food was outstanding at local street shops, which we would not have been brave enough to try ourselves. Thanks so much.

Fun night in HCMC - What a memorable evening tour! Qui took myself and 3 of my family for a tour of HCMC food and drinks that traversed all across the Quads. We had some of the classic food dishes and a few new ones we never tried. Absolutely loved it and highly recommend! We did the tour on back of the motorbikes and would say this is the only way to truly experience the beauty of the city!
