5.00This food tour was absolutely amazing and a true highlight of our trip. The food was fantastic, but what really made the experience unforgettable was our guide, Emma. Her bubbly personality and exceptional knowledge made the tour so much fun while also incredibly informative. Emma brought every stop to life, shared great cultural insights, and made our whole family feel completely at ease. Her enthusiasm and genuine passion for Vietnamese food and culture really set this tour apart. Highly recommend this tour—and if you’re lucky enough to have Emma as your guide, you’re guaranteed an incredible experience!

5.00Fascinating food tour guided by Ted and Steven who gave us an insight into the lives of local people as well as some tasty street food. The food tour is a great way to learn more about the local culture as well as getting a substantial meal. Plenty of walking some food eaten standing and some sitting. Great fun!

We were able to taste many amazing delicious foods from the local restaurants and food carts. It was definitely a highlight of our trip to Vietnam and would highly recommend to anyone who likes to try new cuisines.

5.00We had a wonderful experience of authentic Saigon cuisine. Kelly our guide was not only professional, but very friendly, accomodating and welcoming, no question was too hard. Kelly was patient and taught us about the history of the food with each tasting, even made us converts of Pho, which was delicious! Thank you so much Kelly. Highly recommend this trip as an introduction to Vietnamese cuisine.
Highly recommended authentic street food tour with Emma.

5.00Emma was a brilliant and enthusiastic tour guide who made the whole family at ease. She guided us through the busy streets at night giving us local knowledge & interesting facts about places and the food we ate. A total of 10 dishes… don’t eat before you do this tour! Highly recommend as a safe and enjoyable introduction to Vietnamese street food. Also visiting other districts away from District 1 with a local was a great experience!

5.00Emma was great. She is very knowledgeable about the local foods, explaining everything with great detail. She safely navigated us through very busy streets and markets. When we crossed streets she took charge to ensure it was a safe crossing. I would highly recommend this tour with Emma.
