If you’re visiting Vietnam and love food, this food tour is an absolute must! My boyfriend and I had the most incredible experience exploring the vibrant street food scene, and I honestly can’t recommend it enough.

Food: 10/10 – Flavorful, Authentic, and Incredibly Affordable

Every single dish we tried was amazing, delicious, and shockingly cheap. From sizzling bánh xèo to melt-in-your-mouth chuối nếp nướng, everything was bursting with flavor. My boyfriend loved everything he tried, and the best part? If we really liked something, our guides happily let us order it again! It felt like a never-ending feast of Vietnam’s best dishes.

Tour Guides: 10/10 – The Best You Could Ask For

The guides were personable, knowledgeable, and super easy to talk to. They spoke great English and made the experience so engaging, explaining not just the food but also the history and culture behind each dish. They were also so friendly and fun, making us feel like we were exploring the city with local friends rather than just on a tour. Thank you Brian, Ricky, and Thai!!!!

A Fun, Personalized Experience

What made this tour truly special was how flexible and spontaneous it was. When our group showed interest in trying balut (fertilized duck egg), our guides made an impromptu purchase just for us. It was such a unique and unforgettable experience!

Final Verdict: 100% Worth It!

If you’re thinking about doing a food tour in Vietnam—do it! This tour was not just about eating but about truly experiencing the country’s rich culinary culture. The food was phenomenal, the guides were amazing, and the overall experience was one of the highlights of our trip. We left stuffed, happy, and already planning to come back for another round!

The tour exceeded our expectations! Our guides collected us from our hotel. The ride was smooth and safe, city by night watched from a motorbike was amazing and the food was beyond delicious! Our guides spoke perfect English, were super nice and fun to hang out with and gave us a lot of inside info about life in Vietnam! Highly recommended!!! ❤️

Excellent food tour around Ho Chi Min city. Lovely group of guides, all very friendly. Our drivers (Rachel and Trung) made us feel safe in the chaos of traffic.
The food was amazing all around and Kelly explained not only the history of the shops, but also the local way to eat the food. The total atmosphere was much more that of a group of friends exploring the town together, which is fantastic.

Solo Traveller

Since I was traveling alone, I wanted to find some activities that I could enjoy and decided on this tour. It turned out to be a great decision.
Our guide, Kelly, talked a lot about food and Ho Chi Minh City, and our driver, Tun, drove safely from start to finish, taking care of me as a first-time motorcycle rider. There were many foods served, but I enjoyed the Vietnamese pancakes the most. I would recommend this tour to anyone, not only solo travelers but also with friends and family.

Cheese and Huy were amazing guides and all the food we had was fantastic! They were able to adapt the tour to need our dietary needs. We had a great time getting to know both of them and had great conversations about food, the city and lots more! Would definitely recommend this to others and highly recommend both Cheese and Huy as guides!
