We are a family of five adults and went out with Kris. Sam, Huy x 2 and Tran on 1pm tour. We loved every moment. So good to be with locals and the food was really really good. Super freindly and Kris a really good host. Some suggestions: Don’t eat beforehand as there is lots to try, try everything, enjoy the scooter rides as they are all good drivers. Thanks so much.

Our family of four had the most fun with Kelly, Ricky, Trung, and Quyen. They were wonderful tour guides with lots of energy and great insight into all the foods we were trying. The food was amazing and the places we stopped were places we would not have known to try. Highly recommend. Thank you Kelly, Ricky, Trung and Quyen! You all were the best!

Our third time on a Top Notch motorbike tour, is a testament to the quality and amazingly fun experience provided on this tour. Kris, Steve and Rachel whizzed us effortlessly around town dining in some of our familiar and favourite little restaurants; the papaya salad, beef noodle soup, Banh Xeo, Bahn Mi and Vietnamese pizza were our favourites. So delicious! We highly recommend Top Notch tours Kris, Steve and Rachel for a truely memorable experience in Ho Chi Minh City on Crristmas Eve. Thank you. We will be back again!

Tan was very friendly & professional. He put me completely at ease riding through the crazy
traffic. The tour was an excellent experience, which we highly recommend. We ate so many
different types of food, most in places only the locals would know. So much fun!!
