Great food, great guides, great times! Could not recommend this tour enough. The food was amazing and you got to see non tourist areas of Ho Chi Minh. Our guides were Kelly, Andy and Will and they made the day so much fun. You’re missing out if you’re not doing this tour !

Fun and full 🥖 We had a really fun and informative time during the tour. Our guides, Kelly and Michael, were also very attentive and explained the food and how to eat them to us in a lot of details. It was raining quite heavily but they made sure everyone was covered and dry. Highly recommend if you would like to experience a more local food tour, laugh a lot and have some amazing food! And good value since we were pretty much in a food coma by the time the tour finished 😆

Awesome street food tour with local guide. Awesome street food tour in the back streets of Ho Chi Minh City with Emma, our guide. We loved walking down the alleys of local streets with our knowledgeable, friendly guide and tasting delicious foods while seeing parts of Ho Chi Minh that we otherwise would have missed. Emma couldn’t have been more helpful and we finished with full bellies and happy hearts. Great experience - highly recommend.

Perfect evening John gave me a ride through the city on his motorbike! Unfortunately, it was raining that day, but we didn’t let that stop us. He even offered to arrange another tour for me the next day. After a quick chat at my hotel, we decided to go for it. John brought an extra raincoat for me as well, which was really thoughtful. So we drove through the city in the rain and explored a lot of different spots. At almost every stop, there was food I probably would never have tried on my own. But with John, I tried it all! It was a really fun and authentic way to experience the city. I have absolutely no complaints. If you’re in Ho Chi Minh City, book the tour and definitely ask for John!

Vietnam Vikings 2026 Ricky and Nam were fun, cool and knowledgeable guides. Our first food stop was Papya salad, sitting on a curb near a park; probably the best thing I’ve ever tasted. Next Bo Kho (beef stew), also next level amazing. Being on the back of a motorcycle in Ho Chi Minh City was such a cool experience, both my husband and I loved it. Thanks Ricky and Nam for a great day.

Great guide and fun tour! I enjoyed the tour very much. Lily was a really friendly guide. Her explanation and communication was so fun and interesting! Local foods are good and the experience to explore the local town wit a bicycle was memorable. I was able to learn local industry as well. Thank you Lily!

We had one of the best nights in Saigon on account of this food tour. We met Ricky and Michael at the meeting point and were joined by other participants and other guides, Will and John, at the first stop. In total we had 10 dishes, including drinks and desserts. All were very tasty! They curate the foods so well that we get the best of everything: the salad, the wrap, the soup, the light bites, the meat, the dessert. Everything till the end. We also appreciate the tour not being in one district only so we get to see other places of Saigon. On a bike. Thanks to the guides as well who answer a lot of questions I have about Saigon and Vietnam. All in all, we superenjoyed it and recommend everyone to join. Vietnamese foods might be one of my fave dishes now! 🙌🏾

Such a great experience! The night scooter tour was a fun way to see the city, and the food was absolutely delicious. We visited local spots we never would have discovered ourselves and got a real taste of local life. The guides were friendly, organised, and made the whole night unforgettable.

The trip was great! Our tour guides were also wonderful. I did this tour back in 2019 as well, and loved it so much I decided to do it again so my travel companion could have the same experience. The only thing that was slightly disappointing was that they changed it to a walking tour at the last minute after seeing we were plus size girls. But we had been zooming around on the back of grabs for days, so we didn't think it would be an issue. We still had a great time and really enjoyed our guides, but we specifically booked this experience because we wanted the motorbike tour, so the last-minute change was disappointing.

We had such an amazing experience on this motorbike food tour with Ricky and Kit! They were both incredibly friendly, welcoming, and easy to talk to. From the very beginning, they made us feel like we were spending the day with old friends rather than just tour guides. The food was absolutely fantastic! We honestly didn’t try a single local dish that we didn’t like. Everything we tasted was delicious, and it was such a great way to experience the local food and culture of Vietnam. Our journey was never boring because we had so much fun talking and laughing with Ricky and Kit along the way. They made the entire experience feel relaxed, fun, and personal. We actually felt bad that we could only give them a small tip because we ran out of cash since it was our last day in Vietnam. We truly wish we could have given them more because they really deserve it! If you’re looking for a fun, authentic, and memorable food tour, we highly recommend Ricky and Kit. They are wonderful people and fanta

OMG Jon (Dung), Linh and Loc were truly amazing. Super hospitable, warm and welcoming. I love how they know to carefully explain all of the simple things , which could be new to foreigners, when it comes to customs and the way of life in Vietnam. I also love the explanation of the food culture and why the names for the dishes as well. This was a very well thought out and truly amazing food tour. Not only did I leave with my stomach completely full but also I felt like I was able to connect with the tour host as if we had known each other already. Jon (Dung) is super funny and all of the host were always laughing with us, making jokes and smiling which is super important. No one was afraid to talk to each other about who we are and where we come from. So glad to have had this experience.
