Terrific Food Tour with Messi - Messi did a wonderful job of taking us to restaurants we would have never found on our own and ordering very tasty fresh dishes. His commentary was engaging, informative, and fun. You will feel like a local not only with what you eat but the vibe and feel and who else is eating in the restaurant. Messi is organized, polite, a good listener to give you the experience you want while adding cultural details to make the experience even more interesting.

Wonderful experience - Jenna was FANTASTIC! She asked for our preferences in advance to craft the perfect itinerary, was super punctual and friendly and made us feel warmly welcomed. Her English was PERFECT and she shared a lot of information about Vietnam and typical food with us. She accepted all of our requests and always made sure we were at ease, helped us cross the streets and took care of us at every moment, suggesting us the best recipes and explaining what we were eating in detail. She was talkative and sweet, but also very discreet and calm, and took a lot of pictures of us before we could even ask! Everything tasted SO GOOD, and we were extremely full and satisfied at the end of the tour, enjoying our egg coffee at Train Street in the best atmosphere ever (she also waited patiently with us for the train to pass). The tour lasted 3 full hours and was so pleasant and interesting that we would love to do it again! Highly recommended, thank you Jenna for everything and keep up with your great work ♥️

Great culinary and cultural delight - We had a great time with Messi. He showed us many places in old quarter and train street for 3+ hours. His food selection was excellent, and customised to our preference. He also explained history and tradition of Vietnam.
