          Second time, even better than the first!
          After taking this tour with Yudan last year, I knew exactly whom to call when I got back to HCMC. This time my brother was with me, who is allergic to shellfish (not ideal in South Vietnam). Yudan and his colleagues had it covered! They devised a full itinerary of delicious stops and diligently followed up with the different vendors to make sure my brother was taken care of. He even remembered my favorites from last time and came up with some new options as well. The digestion break walking through the flower market was a nice touch. 10/10 experience, highly recommended!

          Food tour by motorbike
          On our first night in HCMC, Yudan and his delightful team of Panda, Kayla and Alan took our family to some truly authentic eating spots we would never have found on our own. Their English was very good and riding on the back of their motorcycles was a fun and exciting way to get around this great city. After two weeks travelling through Vietnam this was a highlight, and we recommend as a must-do.

          10 out of 10, would go again just for the rice crepes.
          Yudan was a friendly and knowledgeable guide. The tour took us off the beaten path to some places I would have never found on my own. And the food was phenomenal. Riding around on a moped at night in Ho Chi Minh is a thrilling adventure not to be missed. I would recommend this to anyone interested in exploring more of Vietnamese culture and cuisine beyond pho and banh mi.

          Wonderful Food Tour
          We had an amazing Motorcycle Food Tour with Sy Thuan and his partner Ga Ga. The experience was so much fun, plus the real authentic Vietnamese food was delicious! I would highly recommend this tour.

          Great tour! All the drivers were so nice and very good drivers. Food was super delicious. We loved the tour so much we booked another tour 2 days later. Yudan was very knowledgeable about the history of HCM.

          Just what we needed to experience street food market
          We had a very specific trip we wanted to take- a night at the Ho Ti Thy flower and food market. We needed someone to help guide us through the food market, make recommendations, help us communicate, etc. I contacted them through their WhatsApp number and they were totally willing to work with me. It was such a great decision. We wanted to experience street food but it can be intimidating. Khuong and his crew were exactly what we wanted! They communicated well, had great information and we felt totally safe on the bikes with them. It was the highlight of our trip in HCMC.

          Fantastic Saigon food tour
          This tour was amazing with Kelvin and Duc! It honestly felt more like an afternoon of eating and discovering Saigon with friends. These two carefully drove us around the busy city on a Christmas Eve and took us to their favourite places to try an exceptional range of dishes. (Go hungry!)

          No show!
          Booked a food tour for 4pm and the guide never showed! Attempted to call the number from the booking and was out of service. Not available on whatsapp either and never answered the messages sent thru trip advisor. Be careful booking this.. wasted a whole afternoon!

          An interesting taste of local culture and cuisine!
          Had a great afternoon with Cathrine! She was a very safe and experienced guide who brought a different and authentic side of HCM City to life. Definitely something that is not to be missed on your visit! My guide Catherine was funny, entertaining and well versed on the history, culture and everyday life of the local people. She was punctual, friendly and most importantly a very safe rider (coming from an experienced rider). I had a lot of fun trying and learning about the local cuisine - dishes which are well thought out and not often considered by tourists. The stalls we were brought to were clean and the food was delicious. It was also very interesting to be brought to walk the corridors of old buildings and markets. Having a local guide brings an element of safety in such places that allows one of really enjoy the tour. And it was interesting to see places outside of District 1. Overall an unforgettable experience that I would recommend anyone to have! Cathrine is a fantastic guide to request for if you have the option of doing so!

          MUST DO WHILE IN HO CHI MINH CITY!
          This was the highlight of my trip to Vietnam! The trip was amazing and so was the food!! My trip was made extra special as I had fabulous driver/guide Lucie who went above and beyond to make me feel safe on the scooter and share her Vietnamese culture with me! The street food was amazing and experiencing the city by scooter was the most surreal experience! Cannot express enough how much I enjoyed this tour! My family had guides Ken, Vivian and Shane and they too were amazing! We all had a great night filled with lots of laughs and are memories we will cherish!

          Unforgettable family adventure
          This tour was the highlight of our visit to Saigon. My kids - 8 and 12 year old - loved the experience of being on the back of the motorbike, immersed in the crazy traffic and getting to know our tour guides. I can not speak highly enough of the guides, Lucie, Thin and Tran An. Their enthusiasm, energy, knowledge and care for us made this tour extra special. Can highly recommend all the food we tried - the Viet pizza, and avocado and coconut ice creams were standouts. Would definitely do this tour again.

          Do it! Super exciting way to explore HCMC!
          What an awesome experience ! We had a really great time. The tour was very exciting and so very informative and interesting. The four students / young tour guides were super friendly and it was a real pleasure to meet them - thank you Long , T & V & H! We saw parts of HCMC we would never have seen and experienced some really great local food. The tour by motorbike was an absolute highlight for all the family. We totally recommend this must do experience. Thank you very much!

        The students on this tour group were lovely and very knowledgeable introducing us to places that we would otherwise have missed.

        Loved visiting the site of the first living Buddhist monk and where he set fire to himself, the Vietnamese old town, oldest coffee shop and flower market.

        Could not recommend this tour more, the students speak really good English so no concerns over language barrier, it was my toddlers first experience on a scooter and she loved it!

        Great tour! Visited the monument created in memory of Thich Quang Duc, the monk who burned himself in protest against the persecution of Buddhists by the South Vietnamese government. Visited a Padoga in China town and went to the very top floor where statues of Buddha and numerous smaller statues were. It was breathtaking. Visited the flower market where my awesome guide, Tom, bought me a lotus flower. And was educated along the way on the current situation in Vietnam.

        If you have a couple of hours, I would totally recommend!

        You haven’t visited Vietnam until you’ve been on a motorbike or scooter! Traffic is wild but Justin, my driver, made me feel super safe and comfortable. And it was more fun than I imagined. Such a fun and exhilarating way to see the city! We got caught in the rain but he had a raincoat for me. So off we went like everyone else in Saigon! Justin adapted to my interests and we stopped to have a delicious coffee at what I can only say is a unique coffeehouse.
        If you are thinking of doing this tour, DO IT!

        Our group of 6 booked this tour on the day, based on Saigon Tours website description. The company were prompt in getting back to us and due to the late nature of the booking, we assumed that our details, for insurance purposes, would be taken at the start of the tour. They did not require any information at all, so we hoped we were insured during the tour. Our guides were extremely friendly and informative though and the bike ride was fun. The disappointing aspect of it was that the website stated that 3 street foods were included in the price. This was not the case. We did walk through a local food market, but were required to purchase food ourselves which was not expected.

        *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
