Awseome experience

Exploring local food in Ho Chi Minh City was amazing! Our guide Kio was super friendly and knew exactly where to take us. The whole experience was so much fun!

One of the best tours I've done

Helen was amazing! She was so welcoming and enthusiastic. She gave us history, food, and local knowledge. Everything she suggested was insanely delicious and a perfect way to learn about Vietnam through its food. She's also so kind and helpful, at our last stop, a foreign woman wandering around was checking the stall we were eating at, and she helped her ordering and recommended nice things to eat. She was also so open and accomodating to continue trying new foods and check with us every time if we wanted more and if everything was ok, how spicy or not the food was, etc. Don't remember how long the tour lasted, but it came to an end due to lack of capacity to continue eating xD but everything was DELICIOUS. Can't recommend this tour enough!!!

Kio is the best tour guide!

Thank you, Kio, for making my food tour such a fun and enjoyable experience! Even though I was the only guest that day, Kio was still incredibly warm and enthusiastic. She asked about my solo trip, introduced me to all kinds of local food, and shared the stories and background behind each dish. The tour lasted for more than two hours, but it never felt tiring at all! We had so many great conversations — from the cultural differences between Taiwan and Vietnam, to our experiences traveling in Thailand. At the same time, I got to try some authentic local food at places where people from Saigon actually eat. There were almost no tourists around, which I really loved! I especially enjoy tours like this because they give you a much deeper and more authentic experience of the local culture. Kio is also such a kind and thoughtful person. She bought some lottery tickets from a local vendor, and he even gave me one and taught me how to check the results. ???? I really highly recommend this tour! If you enjoy learning about local culture and want to discover the delicious local food that people actually recommend and eat themselves, you should definitely book this tour! ????????

Friendly and patient tour guide

Leo is very friendly, professional as a guide. She is willing to share everything that she knows patiently. We enjoyed the food tour through knowing more knowledge on the local food.

Dear Kio

Dear Kio I had an amazing experience on this street food free tour. Our guide was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate throughout the entire tour. They carefully explained the history of the city, the local culture, and the background of each dish we tried. It wasn’t just a food tour—it was a wonderful introduction to the people, traditions, and daily life here. Every explanation was interesting and easy to understand. The guide also did a fantastic job keeping everyone engaged. There was never a dull moment, and the atmosphere was fun and welcoming from start to finish. I especially appreciated how thoughtfully the food stops were arranged. The order of the dishes felt perfect, allowing us to fully enjoy each one without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Thank you for such a memorable experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover authentic local food while learning about the city’s history and culture.
