We went in a bit of a larger group and had a fantastic food tour with Doanh! He asked us about our experience with Vietnam food so far and took us to some wonderful hidden gems. My favourites were definitely the Pho and the Hidden Gen Cafe at the end. The train street was definitely and experience but everyone had an amazing time and food was absolutely delicious.
Great tour with a friendly and knowledgeable guide (John) - food was very tasty and in large supply !
We had a great food tour with Doanh (John), he was knowledgeable and funny. He worked really hard to make sure we got to train street as a train was coming (as there were train delays, this was not easy). The food was really tasty and so much of it (make sure you come hungry). Would highly recommend this tour.
Really great tour! Our guide (Jenna) was fantastic - super friendly, enthusiastic and informative. She asked us about our likes / dislikes and what local food we had tried so far, and tailored the tour so that we could try new things. The food was amazing, we were never waiting for long at all and Jenna was really attentive the whole time. We didn’t book a private tour but ended up just two of us which made it a really special experience. Highly recommended!
Magnificent experience, we did the tour with Kaylie, who was very attentive and gave us many explanations about both the food and the culture of Vietnam; the food was very delicious, I recommend the tour, but go with an appetite because you eat a lot.
The tour was amazing and our guide Jenna made it even better. All the spots she took were out of the world.
Great guide. Small group. She also helped us with rerun to hotel transport
Great value. Great food. Great guide. Fin was a great fun and knowledgeable guide. See the city as you would never see it as a tourist
Great choices with a great guide team that showed us all the good hidden spots I could never find on my own. I skipped lunch and even then it was so much good food!
Superb small group food tour with Kylie. We were booked on the afternoon tour and had so much to eat we had no need for an evening meal! Kylie was lovely and very knowledgeable. This is the second tour booked with Backstreet Tours and they have been excellent. Highly recommend using them!
