Awesome experience It’s hard to describe just how much we loved this tour! What an amazing way to get to know the city & eat incredible food. Mac, Levi and Riley our guides, were fun and knowledgeable and extremely skilled riders - so important for me because I was nervous in the traffic. We felt like we were exploring Saigon with our Vietnamese friends My love of Vietnam the people, the food and the vibe has skyrocketed

Amazing Food Tour with Kelly and Linh! We had an absolutely fantastic experience today! Kelly and Linh were amazing guides – super friendly, fun, and professional. The food was delicious, the motorbike ride was exciting, and we got to experience the real Ho Chi Minh City. One of the highlights of our trip! Highly recommended! Thank you, Kelly and Linh!

Exceptional introduction to the tastes of Vietnamese food The convenience of being picked up from the hotel , introductions and subsequent meeting with other guest was flawless , felt comfortable from the outset . The subsequent adventure transioned extremely smoothly from one amazing gastronomic delight to another . Travelling by scooter through this amazingly packed city by night is an absolute must do. The staff are very knowledgeable and could not be more pleasant and hopeful. All meals were of exceptional quality with absolutely no adverse side effects the following morning, if you know what i mean . Highly recommended for all ages . ☆☆☆☆☆+ Big big shout out to our great tour guides, Kelly , Mac , Linh , Kit and Nathan .

Unforgettable food tour with the absolute best crew in Saigon! Unforgettable food tour with the absolute best crew in Saigon! If you do only one thing in Ho Chi Minh City, make it this scooter food tour. Exploring this delightfully mad city from the back of a bike is an absolute thrill, yet the team made the entire evening feel seamless, relaxing, and endlessly fun. The young guides on this tour are a true gem. Passionate, self-motivated, and fascinated by their own culinary traditions, they spoke about local dishes with the depth and flair of seasoned gourmet writers—Anthony Bourdain would have been genuinely proud. Their English is phenomenal (with that charming American movie tint), and their energy brings such a fresh, vibrant perspective to Vietnamese culture. Every guide added something special to the night: * Kelly (the Leader): A true gem who ran the show effortlessly. She made sure everyone felt completely comfortable, welcomed, and looked after from minute one. * Nathan (my driver & food buddy): Curious, sweet, and attentive. He navigated the traffic like a pro, made sure I was comfortable the entire ride, and was the best culinary companion. * Kit: The youngest of the bunch with a gorgeous smile who looked like a local sports celebrity—plus, he rolls the absolute best crispy pancakes! * Mac: The coolest guy with the loudest laugh and endless captivating stories. * Linh: Incredibly chic and glam with her cool aura, nose piercing, and wonderful insights into local life. As the only vegetarian in the group—and someone with food allergies—I am always slightly nervous on food tours. But this team handled it with so much care and attention. They ensured I never felt left out and tailored safe, mouthwatering plant-based versions of everything the group sampled so I got the full, authentic experience. The food itself was divine: fresh drinks, refreshing papaya salad eaten side-by-side with locals, rich broth, piping-hot fried bananas, crispy pancakes (bánh xèo), flavor-packed bánh mì, and delicious street snacks tucked inside the bustling flower market. You will eat plenty and laugh even more. I would book this tour every single evening just to spend more time learning from this driven, wonderful crew. 100% recommended!

Andy the tour guide was wholesome and fun Andy was awesome and a very personable guide. We had a private tour with him for me my mom and my brother and it was a very fun time walking around with him. He is young and very fun and was a great time.

Amazing Memories, Amazing Host! Absolute incredible tour, I cannot recommend this enough. Tommy our tour guide was a legend, friendly, helpful and very knowledgable. So great that I booked the Cu Chi tunnels immediately for the next day! We had an amazing trip down the Mekong, while eating fresh native fruits - it was a special memory I'll remember forever.

Amazing Food Tour with Kelly, Levi, and Milo! This was easily one of the most fun and unique experiences we had in Vietnam! A huge thank you to Kelly, Levi, and Milo for such an awesome food tour. What I loved most was that this wasn’t your typical touristy food tour. We got to explore some lesser-known local spots and try dishes that we probably wouldn’t have discovered on our own. It was a great way to experience a different side of the city and its food culture. Kelly, Levi, and Milo were all fantastic! They were super friendly, easy to talk to, and made the whole experience feel more like hanging out with local friends than being on a guided tour. They also did a great job explaining the food and sharing little bits of local culture along the way. If you’re visiting Ho Chi Minh City and want to try something beyond the usual tourist spots, I definitely recommend this tour. Come hungry and with an open mind! Huge thanks again to Kelly, Levi, and Milo for such a memorable experience!

Fun food tour! We had such a fun time on our food tour! Emma, Harry, Mike, & Nam were excellent guides and we felt like we were hanging out with friends, not just a guide. I was initially nervous about the scooter, but Emma was a skilled driver and I felt super safe. We researched a bunch of other tours, but we are glad we went with this one. The food was delicious and we went to spots we wouldn’t have found on our own. I highly recommend.

Nhat was an excellent guide. He was pivotal in ensuring my tour was not only delicious, but informative. I left the tour very full and glad I got to see Ho Chi Minh through his eyes.

John and Linh were the best tour guides! They were so friendly, funny, and great drivers! We had an amazing time zipping through the city as we made our way to every food stop. Not only did we end the tour completely full, but we also realized every food tour should feel as comfortable and relaxed as this one.

We had a fantastic night with Emma, Nathan and Tony. They took our little family through the streets of Ho Chi Minh, told us about the little shops we stopped by, about life in Vietnam and zipped us through traffic. I think our boys will remember the experience for years to come. Do yourself a favour and book this tour!

This was such amazing experience and I can’t recommend it more. When you come to Ho Chi Minh and are a massive foodie - this one is for you! You not only get to see so much of the city (away from the touristy spots) but also get to eat delicious food. Everything is local, special and something I have not tried before! You go with four locals and we had such luck with ours. Mac was driving me and did such a good job. The four guides were knowledgable and funny and have the best taste. Thank you mac, Kelly, Nathan and Harry!!

We had a really amazing time hanging out with Ricky and Kevin who drove us all around town, showing us spots that we would have never found on our own. It was just my wife and I so we felt like we were getting a private tour, and the guys made sure we were well taken care of. We felt safe even in the most chaotic rush hour traffic and this was honestly the best way to see HCMC in my opinion. Every time we visit a new city, we make it a point to do a food tour, and this one ranks up as one of the best we’ve experienced! We got a taste of all sorts of amazing dishes, most that we’ve never heard of before, even some unique to the city. Highly recommend!!

The quick review is “just do it !”. I’m fairly familiar with Vietnamese food and all the choices were perfect. It’s an excellent introduction to Vietnamese street food but what really stands out and makes this a 10 star experience were the people leading our tour. We were a small group of 5 guests, so it remained intimate. Each one of us had a designated scooter driver/guide, and all the drivers/tour guides hung out with us as we tried out the various dishes. They are fluent in English, each with their own super simpatico personality, so it ends up feeling like an evening with new friends. If you’ve never been on a scooter in Saigon, it’s also a fun and safe intro to the various neighborhoods and crazy traffic. A definite thumbs up, and excellent value.
