5.00Wasn’t sure what to expect on this food tour but wow our guides Kelly and Andy were superb taking us to street food stalls we would never have found on our own. The food was amazing and very tasty freshly cooked, lots of walking around side streets and lots of knowledge gained from our guides.we had 10 different types of dishes and one beer plus jasmine tea if you require more refreshments you had to purchase your own which wasn’t a issue. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who likes to visit hidden gems and sensational food in Ho Chi Minh

5.00Had a great time exploring the local food scene with Peter! This is a great way to try many local food flavors, knowing they are safe! We had more food than we could handle and learned a lot of things about Vietnamese culture from a local guide that speaks very good English!

5.00Kelly Tran was our guide and she was the best! She showed us so many good food spots and gave us very educational and historical talks in the places in between. The pace was good (was travelling with my mum in her 50s), you can take as many breaks as needed. She is very friendly and informative and would highly recommend her for future tours and do this tour again with her!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Food Tour with Kelly & Andy!

5.00This was one of the highlights of our time in Ho Chi Minh City. Kelly and Andy were absolutely fantastic guides from start to finish. They were friendly, knowledgeable, organized, and made everyone feel welcome right away. The food was incredible and took us far beyond the places we would have found on our own. Every stop offered something unique, and Kelly and Andy did a great job explaining the dishes, local culture, and the history behind the neighborhoods we visited. They were also very accommodating of different preferences and made sure everyone was having a great time. What really stood out was their energy and passion. It felt less like a tour and more like spending an evening exploring the city with friends who know all the best hidden gems. If you're visiting Ho Chi Minh City and want an authentic food experience, I highly recommend this tour. Thank you, Kelly and Andy!
