      A very pleasant experience
      We booked this tour together with my friend, and it was just the 2 of us - so a private tour :) We picked the vegan option. They picked us up from our hotel (always nice) and then we rode on 2 bikes. We started with a coconut water with fruit infusion. Then went for banana sticky rice (I loved it!), the vegan pho and banh mi, then a tradition savory pancake and then sugar cane juice with local "pizza" and sweet potato puffs (i loved these!). basically, better not to have breakfast as you'll be eating a lot haha Our guide was very nice, good English. Overall it was a fun thing to do.

      Great tour that everyone should go to
      The tour was interesting, I really enjoyed delicious food. At first I was nervous on a bike but Jack is experienced driver, I felt safe and didn't want it to finish.

      One of the highlights in Saigon.
      This tour was one of the highlights of Saigon. The young students that took us food exploring were kind, attentive, engaging and curious. They shared the food, the étiquette, their culture and habbits with us. Their English was incredible, driving was safe and exciting and the tour itself was a good blend of sightseeing, food tasting, culture emersion and fun. Would recommend to anyone!

      Good tour of Chi Minh City with local meals.
      We could enjoy this tour with Jack and Tub who were our guides. Their motorcycle driving was very safe, and we felt completely at ease riding on their back. They were highly knowledgeable and experienced, providing us with detailed information about Ho Chi Minh City.

      Amazing tour highly recommended
      Jack and bin were absolutely great hosts, very professional, very polite and wanting to make the experience for us the greatest that it could be!! We had our 5 year old daughter with us and bin and her became fast friends which she is often shy and quiet around strangers especially guys, so that shows how friendly and welcoming the boys were. The tour was amazing and the food was exceptional, so many great dishes and well worth the money to get the whole experience and not only that the knowledge on how to eat the food the way that it’s intended to be eaten. I would recommend this tour to everyone 11 stars out of 10

      Best way to get to know Saigon!
      The tour exceeded our expectations! Our guides collected us from our hotel. The ride was smooth and safe, city by night watched from a motorbike was amazing and the food was beyond delicious! Our guides spoke perfect English, were super nice and fun to hang out with and gave us a lot of inside info about life in Vietnam! Highly recommended!!! ❤️

      Perfect Tour for Vegan Foodies
      Kris showed us where to best enjoy vegan food in Ho-Chi-Minh City. Being it Bánh mì, Bánh xèo or of course Phở. All that while being super nice and polite. He even was able to take the fear of riding a motorbike from my girlfriend!

      Saigon street food: Glad I ventured out of my comfort zone!
      Just two on this tour, both Australians from different sides of the country -- Brisbane and Perth. We had two excellent guides in Jack and Tun from Top Notch Street Food and we were introduced to food I would not normally eat. The food was great, more than I could consume, and Jack conveyed me on the back of his motor-cycle to many parts of Saigon, including Chinatown. A great insight into Vietnamese food and highly recommended.

      Food tour on motorbikes around Ho Chi Minh
      Great food your around Ho Chi Minh! Kelly, Ricky and Tracey were very nice and great guides. You can try many different vietnamese dishes on this tour which You’d be not able to try on your own. It’s a great way to explore the city more from the local perspective. It’s really worth going!

    We had an amazing food tour in Ho Chi Minh City led by our guide, Huỳnh Chí Khôi, whose English was excellent. He answered all our questions about Vietnamese history and culture with great detail and took us through tiny streets and hidden alleys. The street food was fantastic, and most of the time we were sitting outside, enjoying the vibrant local atmosphere.

    The tour included a total walk of about three kilometers—just the right amount of walking for a food tour. We were also lucky with the weather: it was slightly overcast and not too warm, making it perfect for exploring and tasting. For my wife, the flower stores are the highlight!

    The food was absolutely brilliant, and this tour was an excellent way to learn about Vietnamese cuisine. Now, when walking around on our own, we know what the different dishes are and what they taste like. By the way, all the food and drinks were included in the price of the tour, which made it even better value for money.

    Highly recommended if you want a deep dive into Vietnamese street food and culture!

    We had an amazing tour today!
    We learned so much about the city and
    its people. It wasn't just delicious, fun and informative, but it was also an unforgetable tour thanks to our guides Kelly and Happy. Their knowledge of the city's history, culture, and food made the experience even more special, and we appreciated the stories and insights they shared.
    We will cherish this memory and would recommend it to everyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City!

    This food tour was booked super last minute on our last day in HCMC.

    Whilst it was the hottest day of the month, our tour guide Jack took us around all the little spots to experience some local food that HCMC has to offer.

    From picking us from hotel to dropping us, Jack went above and beyond to ensure we were full, satisfied and comfortable. His knowledge of his city and the local food scene really made the short street food tour memory.

    This food tour guide is highly recommend if you want to sample all the food in a small amount of time!

    We had a wonderful evening food tour with Mac Rachel and Ted as our friendly tour guides. They were punctual in picking us at our accommodation. Before they start the tour, they were careful to check with us regarding any food allergies or our preference on what type of meat. It was an awesome experience zooming thru the traffic on their motor bikes to the various food locations. Besides introducing to us the delicious South Vietnamese local crusine, they also shared their live stories with us and arranged a simple surprise for my wife. We were impressed by their hard work and dedication to their job. We highly recommend this food tour to all who wanted to try the best local food but unsure where to go and what to eat.

    I had an incredible experience on this food-walking tour! The variety of dishes, the vibrant atmosphere, and the seamless organization were outstanding. It’s clear why this is the fastest-growing food tour in Ho Chi Minh—it’s unbeatable in quality and price.

    A special shoutout to our amazing guide, Mac, whose passion and knowledge made the tour unforgettable. Mac went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt comfortable and learned something new. I can’t recommend this tour enough—100% worth it!

    We are just back from the food tour with Jack and had to write a review straight away.

    We had a great time on this tour. It ended up being a private tour as we were the only people to book this time slot. Even though it was only 3 of us, Jack was such good company that the time flew by! All dishes were delicious and portions were super generous(we couldn’t finish everything).

    I’d highly recommend Jack’s tours as he was so eager to please and he was so enthusiastic when describing the different dishes. 5 star tour guide!!

    My husband and I had an unforgettable time on the Super Niche Walking Street Food Tour in Ho Chi Minh City. Our guide, Kris, was not only punctual and well-prepared but also deeply knowledgeable about the city’s hidden culinary gems. We explored local spots we would have never found on our own, sampling a wide range of authentic Vietnamese street food. Every stop was a new and exciting experience, and the attention to detail made the tour even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to dive into the heart of Ho Chi Minh City’s food culture.

    We landed in Ho Chi Minh City around 1 PM and had booked a walking food tour for the same evening at 5.30 PM. After 16 hours of travel, we were exhausted, but all that changed when we met Jack.

    Not only is Jack very knowledgable about the food, he treated us like we were old friends catching up. 30 mins into the tour, we completely forgot that we were exhausted. Thanks to him, my wife and I (we just got married last month and this is day 1 of our honeymoon) had the most amazing time walking the streets and back alleys of Ho Chi Minh City -- eating foods at locations we couldn't possibly have discovered on our own in a short time, and experiencing an explosion of culinary treats on our taste buds. Jack explained every food item to us, the ingredients used, and showed us the right way to eat the foods and get the most flavour per bite.

    My personal favourite was the beef noodle bowl, the most unique food we ate was the pancake (it's not what you think), and the night ended with a delicious yet light on the stomach coffee pudding (Banh flan).

    Overall, I highly recommend taking a walking food tour especially with this host. Jack was great, the food was *chef's kiss*, and walking the streets seeing all the local sights made it all the more a memorable night for a lifetime.

    This was a wonderful introduction to the excellent local cuisine in Ho Chi Minh. We were met by our guide Kris at the Öpera House and taken in a comfortable airconditioned car to a less touristy area, where we commenced our walking tour. We went down various side streets and alleyways, seeing some real Vietnamese city life that we would never have seen otherwise. Kris spoke excellent English, and was helpful and charming. We stopped at a variety of small cafes and food vendors, each with delicious traditional dishes, introducing us to a range of local fare. We really enjoyed this and thoroughly recommend this tour - but make sure you come hungry!

    We took the afternoon trip and had several treats along the way. I suggest to skip the meal before the trip because you will eat a lot of food. I also suggest comfortable shoes since the tour walks between every stop. All the stalls are local jewels, no lines when we went, and we could sit comfortable (as a group of 5). We had banana sticky rice, beef rice rolls, beef barbecue, sugarcane juice, flan, vietnamese pizza, local beer, banh mi, and noodle soup.

    Our tour guide, Sir Harry, was very knowledgeable and accomodating. He discussed a range of topics during the tour and provided brief history on some of the stalls we went to. He was also willing to visit a few shops that were not part of the itinerary at our request (specialty shops and convenience store).

    Overall, I would recommend the tour for groups that want a food trip that focuses on the authentic local cuisine. Special thanks to our tour guide, Harry, for the wonderful experience!!
