We had a great experience on our food tour with our guides Thao, My and Minh. My guide surprised me with a cake as it was my birthday which was a nice geasture and fully catered for our different tastes. Fully recommend.

Super nice experience with very enthusiastic group of guides, including Lê Minh. A group of students from Saigon who speak excellent English and like to tell about the local food and customs in Vietnam. We had a very nice evening and it was a great experience to maneuver through the busy traffic on the back of a scooter.
It was really fun and the food tasted amazing, yet the advisors who rode with us were the best part. We had many fun conversations and it was super entertaining. I really enjoyed it!
Guides were excellent, food was great.
Lê Minh, Thao, Hoang, were extremely lovely, lots of fun to chat with and helped with Vegan options perfectly, also took along food markets for extra snacks/drinks, highly recommend!
