The Best Way to Explore the City Like a Local One of the highlights of my trip! This motorbike tour was such a fun way to explore the city and experience local life. Emma and Harry were wonderful guides. They were friendly, easygoing, and full of interesting stories about the city. They made us feel comfortable and safe throughout the ride, and the whole experience felt more like exploring the city with friends than being on a typical tour. I had such a great time and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city. Definitely an experience worth having!

5+ stars for food, fun and fab guides An amazing experience for all ages. Kelly and John were knowledgeable, diligent and fun guides, engaging the four children on our tour (aged 8-12). They navigated the laneways of district 3 and 10 expertly, even guiding us safely through a freak thunderstorm!! Happy people with happy bellies!

HCM Street Food Motorbike tour Ricky and Andy are very professional and know the ins and outs of the city. We learned a lot about the history of the place and every food we tried. We definitely recommend them both.

Personalised food tour of Ho Chi Minh City We had a very personalised tour that catered well for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. We explored the back lanes of Ho Chi Minh City’s labyrinth of local eateries. Emma speaks fabulous English and managed us with a sticky rice road crossing method with ease. Emma has wonderful local knowledge. We would highly recommend taking a tour with her.
