We had an absolute awesome time doing this. We took the street food tour for 50usd as we were short on time and really interested to try some of the street food in HCMC. What better way to do it than on the back of a bike like the locals and with people who know really good places to go?!... More

Saigon is a crazy busy town and to drive your self... good luck. I called the guys up and they picked me up for the evening tour. The guide is just hilarious funny and the food was just awesome. The price is a bit more but you definitely get worth you money. Definitely a must do!

This was one of the highlights of our trip to SE Asia. If you go to saigon, then you have to ride on a motorcycle. it is an amazing experience being part of the sea of traffic that morphs around itself. we are vegetarians, and our guides picked out really fantastic places. it was the best food we ate in...

We opted for the "Perfect Day" package and it couldn't have been a better day. We spent most of the day with the co-owners, Fred and Chet, and they were gracious, funny, and just awesome. Our lunch was deliciously prepared and they really focused on teaching us the techniques. The massage we got was excellent. The food tour was the... More

My wife and I decided to do the Saigon Street Food Tour. Our two drivers came to our hotel and picked us up. Recommend to book directly with them as had experienced being charged more at a tour shop. Off we went into the evening. It was the busy time of night and weaving through the traffic came naturally for... More

The service was slick and friendly right from booking to the end of the tour. Food that we wouldn't of thought of trying or knowing where to go was amazing. The guides were all chatty and loved their job, most of them students. It was a great experience zipping around the streets of HCMC. We would do this trip again... More

Our guides spoke good English and took us to a number of authentic street stalls and small local stalls that we would not have known about and would have been reticent to try it by ourselves. We went to four different districts. They took into account our dietary requirements so we did a different tour to everyone else, which was... More

This method of travel and sightseeing really allows you to experience the city like a local . While I went out of my comfort zone by booking this, I really enjoyed getting an overview of the city and tasting Authentic homemade food. I now feel that I know more about the range of food and ingredients. My guide Quinn was... More
