Genuinely the best tour I’ve done so far in Vietnam. Jack was informative and a fun guide who was passionate about food and wanted everyone to have a great time. All the riders were great and everyone spoke great English. They were also accommodating of my friends dietary requirements. I would highly recommend we got some great food that I would never find on my own.

Our family of four absolutely loved our food tour tonight with Ricky, Duy, Ted and Trung. Appreciated the pickup from our accommodation, and enjoyed weaving through the busy traffic to each food stop. Food and drinks were delicious and enjoyed the banter and laughs with the friendly guys. A good chance to spend time with the local crew and try the local cuisine away from the normal tourist hot spots. Definitely recommend to all – you will not be disappointed. Good luck with your Uni studies guys!

We had an amazing time on the motorbike food tour with Kelly, Ricky, Roger, and the rest of the team last night! We booked the tour the same day and were so impressed that they were able to accommodate our group of 9 without any issues. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and so much fun. The food was absolutely delicious and we got to try a great mix of local favorites. Riding through the city at night added such a cool vibe to the whole experience. The guides were super friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely safe the entire time. Highly recommend this tour if you want to eat like a local and have a blast doing it!

Solo Traveller

I joined the Top Notch Street Food Motorbike Tour in Ho Chi Minh City on June 8th as a solo traveler, and it ended up being one of the best things I did in Vietnam!

I rode with Tien Loc, who was incredibly warm, thoughtful, and fun to be around. Before the tour started, he even asked if I’d been on a motorbike before — just to make sure I felt safe. And I really did! His riding was super smooth and careful, which helped me relax and enjoy the experience even more.

After the tour, he also followed up with a full list of all the food we tried — such a thoughtful and helpful gesture!

The other two guides, Jack and Brian, were just as friendly and welcoming. All three of them had great energy, explained the food really well, and made the whole afternoon feel like a fun food trip with local friends.

We tried so many delicious Vietnamese dishes — like pineapple kumquat coconut juice, green papaya salad with dried beef, bún bò Huế, bánh mì, bánh xèo, grilled sticky rice banana, and some great desserts. Everything was tasty, unique, and truly authentic.

If you’re visiting Ho Chi Minh City, don’t miss this tour. Whether you’re traveling solo or with others, you’ll be well taken care of. Big thanks to Tien Loc, Jack, and Brian for such a safe, fun, and unforgettable experience!
