This tour far exceeded all expectations, and I don’t say that lightly. I rarely write reviews, but this one? I just had to. That’s how incredible the experience was!

We immersed ourselves in the rich, flavorful world of Ho Chi Minh’s street food scene, guided by the unstoppable energy and passion of Emma and Alex, two exceptional souls who went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcomed, safe, and seen.

✅ THE TOUR
⭐ Rating: 5/5
We explored 7 unique food stops and tasted around 11 iconic Vietnamese dishes, from local favorites to hidden gems. The ride itself was smooth and surprisingly calming despite the city’s buzz. My guide and driver, Emma, was incredibly mindful and constantly checked in on me throughout the ride.

It wasn’t just a food tour. It was a visual and cultural feast. Picture weaving through vibrant city streets, discovering flavors you didn’t know you needed, and feeling like you’re part of something magical.

✅ THE TOUR GUIDES — Emma & Alex
⭐ Rating: 100/5 (Yes, seriously!)
Emma and Alex are outstanding. Fluent in English, rich in cultural insights, and overflowing with humor and heart, their passion shines in everything they do.

Emma messaged me before the tour and even arrived 10 minutes early, a true mark of professionalism and respect. The conversations we had were meaningful, effortless, and full of joy. They made everyone feel like a friend, not just a guest.

👉 Their energy is infectious.
👉 Their knowledge is impressive.
👉 Their care is unforgettable.

They even encouraged us to reach out on WhatsApp if we ever needed local tips or help during our stay. Now that’s above and beyond service.

⭐ OVERALL
This wasn’t just a tour. It was a golden, soul-filling, heart-happy experience I’ll never forget. Thank you, Emma and Alex, for making it so special. I’ll absolutely be coming back, and I’ll be telling all my friends to do the same. I wish I have taken many photos to share, but what is a lot of recorded videos for my tiktok!!

Highly recommended. 100% worth it.

Great tour! Loc was a knowledgeable and very gracious guide to the city and incredible
food scene. Everything we tasted was super! The bò kha (beef stew), papaya salad, and
banh mi especially stood out.

During our trip to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), we went on a food tour that we will never forget. There are many similar tours in the city, and some might offer even more exotic dishes — but what truly sets this tour apart is the overall experience.

From the moment we hopped on the back of the motorbikes with our guides, we felt the excitement. Riding through the buzzing streets, weaving through local neighborhoods that most tourists never get to see — it was an adventure in itself. No crowded tourist spots, just authentic, local places with delicious food.

Our group of four was guided by Ricky, Steven, Ken, and Thai, who all spoke excellent English. They were friendly, funny, and genuinely engaging. There was great interaction throughout the tour. Thai, our so-called “professional Yapper,” turned out to be an English teacher — and his stories and energy made everything even more fun and memorable.

Our kids said more than once that this was the best experience they had in Saigon. And honestly, we couldn’t agree more.

The price is also very reasonable for what you get: amazing food, great company, fun conversations, and the thrill of exploring Saigon on a motorbike.

Just book it. No regrets — only unforgettable memories.

Keep in mind the food is not the most important. The experience is more important. Thank you Ricky and his gang 😁

Loc was a wonderful guide who not only accommodated my personal taste and comfort,
but also my general queries about all things Saigon and Vietnam. The various food tastings
were plenty and filling so a highly recommended experience!
