Despite already staying in Ho Chi Minh City for a few weeks, this food tour showed us areas and food spots that my family and I would have never found by ourselves. Scootering by itself is already incredible to experience, and when combined with great guides and delicious food, results in something I doubt I will forget in my lifetime. Kris, Daniel, Ritchy, and Rachel guided my tour, and they performed above and beyond in every respect. They displayed immense knowledge about Ho Chi Minh City and its historical/cultural significance and were always enjoyable to eat alongside during the tour. All of our tour guides were able to speak exemplary English, and I can’t thank them enough for how great the tour was with them.

We had an amazing experience on our food tour in Ho Chi Minh City, where we tried eight delicious dishes that truly showcased the city’s vibrant street food culture. Both of our tour guides, Tan and Roger were incredibly accommodating, making sure me and my partner was comfortable and well taken care of. They guided us through bustling markets and hidden alleyways, stopping at local eateries that we would have never found on our own. Every dish we tasted was unique, from savory bowls of beef noodle soup to crispy vietnamese pancake and each stop felt like an authentic glimpse into the city’s culinary heart.

What really made the tour stand out was how much our guides emphasized the rich culture and history behind each dish. As we enjoyed the food, they shared fascinating stories about the ingredients, regional influences, and the traditions that shaped Ho Chi Minh’s cuisine. Their enthusiasm was infectious, and Tan and Roger made the experience feel more than just a food tour—it was a deep dive into the soul of the city. If you’re looking for a fun, flavorful, and cultural adventure in Ho Chi Minh, I highly recommend this tour and look for Tan and Roger! They were definitely the perfect tour guides for this tour!

We are 3 people from Korea, 74, 42, and 8 years old 🤣
We had the happiest time in HCM with Tan, Roger, and Jarlie 😁

8y kid was very happy, enjoying everything from the bike experience to the food.
74y Grandpa had many worries right before the tour, but he had the most fun among the three.
I (father) was happy to see the two of them having fun.

Pros:
– It will be a great memory for your group 🙂
– You can experience riding a bike in HCM. (In the back seat)
– Includes dessert = enjoy it in various ways.
– You can see and feel everything in Ho Chi Minh by moving to various places.

*Caution* (Written by 8years old boy 😁)

– If you drink a lot of coconut juice served at the beginning, you may urinate a lot continuously 😅
– If you eat a lot of food at the beginning, you will not be able to eat the delicious food served later.

My 8-year-old son said it was the best time of his life(?) 🤣🤣

It’s a safe, enjoyable, and invaluable experience.

You don’t have to hesitate at all 😎👍

Tan and Richie were really friendly and cordial… The food was great and we loved the interactions. They also paid special attention to our food needs. Best bike tour partners! We came to know more about Vietnam and their people as compared to most of our trip altogether. I’d recommend it to more of my friends.
