Ride around HCM, enjoy beautiful night views and unique & tasty Vietnamese street food
Feb 2023 • Solo
Would encourage all tourists to try this street food tour. No better way to discover the beauty of the city at night than riding around in a scooter. I had requested for a female tour guide which they accommodated. The tour guides are university students who speak good english and are very friendly. Thu (Sophia) is great and I feel safe being driven around by her.

Going around on a scooter means we could have good views of the city. HCM has progressed so much, esp at District 1. So many beautiful and brightly lit colonial buildings.
The food were superb. All 4 food experiences were unique and tastes great!
Nguyen is the other student tour guide who joined us and his jovial personality made the entire trip very pleasant and enjoyable.
Quite a perfect experience I would say. Thanks to Thu and Nguyen!

It's also wonderful to hear that you felt safe being driven around by Thu (Sophia) on the scooter and that you were able to see the beauty of the city at night.

Amazing street food tour by night!
Dec 2022 • Friends
Great way to have a taste of HCM city streetfood culture as well as the experience of being part of rush hour by motorbike. Our guides Minh en Chau were very pleasant and enjoyable people who gave a lot of explanation about the food and the city. It was a safe and tasty experience.

A must do for everyone visiting Saigon
Jan 2023 • Couples
My wife and I discovered the greatness of vietnamese cuisine through the Evening Food tour. Chau and Duyen picked us up at our hotel and headed for the first location. Enjoyed the views of the city on the way then devoured the delicious traditional food. These 2 tour agents are so knowledgeable, speak amazing english and have a great sense of humor which made the night fabulous. We headed to 2 more locations afterwards before ending up with a modern and refreshing dessert. I totally recommend this evening tour to anyone visiting Saigon.

A good way to get in touch with local students and learn more about the vietnamese culture and about the city. A good variation of food where anyone can find something to eat. A big thanks to Minh, Chi, Chau, Duyen and Quoc for their time.

The tour has a perfect combination of great conversation and great food. Our tour guides, Phat and Uyen, are great, caring, knowledgeable and intelligent. We were worried about the intimidating traffic, they made the ride enjoyable and let us feel safe. The tour has 4 different eating sites. Our favorites are the seafood barbecue site and the dessert site.

Fantastic dinner adventure
Dec 2022 • Family
We have had the best dinner experience with Saigon evening food tours tonight. It is New Year’s Eve and the city was so busy but our guides Phat, Thu and Thao were absolutely amazing.We felt very safe on the back of their bikes. Driving around many different zones for different tastes of food was fun. The food was great and the conversation excellent. Can definitely recommend as a must do when in Saigon.

Yummy night with a personal guide
Apr 2023 • Solo
Had a lovely evening with my personal guide Chi. She took me around the city on her motorbike and we had 4 stops for food. All tasted good, but my favourite was the Vietnamese pancakes and the sweet soup (ché). Chi is an amazing guide and also answered any questions I had regarding the culture or placed while driving. Highly recommend her!

Thank you for recommending her - I'm sure she will be thrilled to hear that you had a great time with her!
