The best way to see Ho Chi Minh City!
We would highly recommend this tour! This was a fabulous way to experience different parts of Ho Chi Minh City. We visited various districts, eating where the locals go for particular dishes—our favourites were the banh xeo and the banh mi. Just be careful not to eat too much beforehand as there is a lot of food to try. Tony and Clara, our guides, were fun, knowledgeable, and safe drivers. They made the evening special!

Best vegan street food tour!
Amazing experience with Finn and Tan who taught us so much about Vietnamese food but also about Ho Chi Minh City! We tested 10 dishes, each stop was accompanied by explanations and anecdotes! I highly recommend doing this food tour with them!

Lovely vegan tour, best experience in Saigon
We took the tour with Finn and Tan, it was one of the best tours we did during our vacation through Vietnam. We tasted more than 10 different dishes. Super enriching tour, the guides speak English very well and through their study in tourism they know a lot about Vietnam and the history of their country, we also had the chance to visit certain places in the city outside of the tour .
You will laugh a lot and learn a lot!
I recommend this tour with my eyes closed!
Thanks to both of you !
Operator response
Merci beaucoup pour votre magnifique avis! 🌟 Nous sommes ravis d’apprendre que vous avez passé un moment exceptionnel avec Finn et Tan. C’est formidable que vous ayez apprécié les nombreux mets et que nos guides aient pu partager leur connaissance approfondie du Vietnam et de son histoire.
Nous sommes heureux que vous ayez eu l’occasion de découvrir des lieux en dehors du tour et que vous ayez trouvé l’expérience à la fois enrichissante et amusante. Votre recommandation chaleureuse nous touche énormément.
Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour d’autres aventures!
