This was our second visit to Saigon and our second motorcycle food tour. Our two guides; Ted and Mac were both informative, courteous, attentive and enthusiastic.
Their knowledge of the city, culture and food were faultless as was their use of English.
Being pescatarian, they gave us a bespoke tour which had a variety of amazing food and drink.
Our favourites were the vegan tofu Pho and the papaya salad.
Scooter is by far the best way to see Saigon , despite the chaos of the roads we were safe and embraced the Vietnamese culture.

I’d like to thank the great Ted and Mac for sharing their beautiful city and food with us and wish them very best wishes for their futures.

Best food tour we did while in Vietnam. After 2 weeks and 4 other food tours in Vietnam, HCM was our last stop. And when I say this was the best food tours we did, I mean it! Kelly was amazing. We tried 9 different foods on the tour and loved every single dish. She took us through the night food market, flower market and to places you would never find as a tourist. We had so much fun, the 3 hours flew by. Kelly also gave us recommendations for things to do and places to eat for the rest of our time in HCM. You MUST book this tour! Great price, great food and great conversation.

Absolutely exceptional experience. We did this our first night in Ho Chi Minh and I cannot recommend it enough as a way to get to see the city. The food was delicious in every way, but much more than that the experience was made exceptional by our wonderful tour guides. Every dish was explained in detail, and they facilitated really amazing conversation with our group, and were so friendly and personable. Special shout out to Emma and Ted, who kept us safe as it was our first time riding on scooters. I cannot recommend it enough!

I’ll start by saying how prepared fun and professionals the tour guides were, all of them! Kelly Trung and Roger really made the difference in making this tour so amazing.
They drive safely and know the best spots in town to try some amazing street food! Not the touristic stuff, the real local food. And trust me, you’ll discover new tastes that you didn’t know existed! It was in total 10 dishes, including a couple drinks and I was very full after the tour and even more important very happy!
Kelly was my driver and tour guide. She is the best, her energy, her love for food and her way of taking care of you are precious and contributed to make the experience even better! She felt like a mom!!!!
If you are in Saigon and you skip this tour you are definitely missing out!!!!!!!
