My mum and I were lucky enough to be taken on the tour as a 2, and Kris was assigned as our guide. First and foremost, Kris made the whole experience so enjoyable – his understanding of Western cultures, language and perceptions was really impressive, and he answered any and all questions in relation to the food, city and everything else in between with incredible enthusiasm.
We went on our tour around midday, and the food itself was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed every single dish, and it was nice to experience authentic Vietnamese cuisine from the locals themselves.
Would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the city and its many tasty spots!
Wir wurden von unserem sehr pünktlichen Tourguide Ricky abgeholt und zum gemeinsamen Startplatz der Tour gebracht. Dort lernten wir die anderen Guides Harry, Emma und Richie und deren Teilnehmer kennen. Insgesamt waren wir dann zu 9. Nach der herzlichen Begrüßung ging es direkt mit dem ersten Schmankerl los. Von dort aus sind wir die weiteren Stops zu Fuß gegangen und haben so nicht nur authentisches Essen, sondern auch das echte HCMC und deren Bewohner in den kleinen Gässchen kennengelernt. Richie hat uns nebenbei auch viel Wissenswertes über Vietnam, HCMC und die Kultur nähergebracht. Das war wirklich schön und hat uns die Barriere genommen, auch auf eigene Faust in deine kleinen Gässchen zu schlendern und verschiedenste Gerichte auszuprobieren. Nach der sehr erlebnisreichen und kulinarisch wirklich sättigenden Tour hat uns Ricky wieder persönlich zum Hotel begleitet und sich höflich verabschiedet. Wir hatten einen tollen Abend, nette Gespräche, super Essen und anschließend sogar noch eine Zusammenfassung der Gerichte via WhatsApp sowie weitere kulinarische Tipps für unseren nächsten Stop in Da Lat. wir können diese Tour nur empfehlen und haben alle Gerichte sehr gerne gegessen. Vielen Dank für das schöne Erlebnis!
Khoi (Kris) was an excellent guide whom engaged in easy flowing conversation. No question was too much to answer, loved comparing customs etc. Khoi always ensured our safety and comfort were paramount. The food was amazing, engaging with the locals was great. Very entertaining evening and a great way of trying a variety of street food that you may not necessarily venture out and try. My favourite was the second dish .. pork/mushroom sausage in rice paper .. we hoovered that down 😭😂😭 and the pizza was a very nice flavoursome surprise. Thoroughly recommend for food, scenery and company
We have been on roughly five tours over our two weeks in Vietnam. This was our second food tour.
We had Kelly as our guide. Kelly was kind, knowledgeable, and a truely global citizen with knowledge of Vietnam and the whole world.
Each place we stopped Kelly was able to tell us exactly what we were eating, how it was made and the history of the areas we stopped in. Each food we ate was the best version of that food we had ever eaten.
I could not think of a single piece of feedback to improve the tour, except for there was too much food 😅
We had Emma and Tan as our tour guides. They were well informed and spoke excellent English! Both did a great job of informing us of the foods we tried (all 10 courses were delicious) and the areas we were visiting. It provided such a good variety of traditional Vietnamese street foods.
I would highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Emma and Tan as your guides.
