Discover the vibrant heart of southern Vietnam with a journey through Ho Chi Minh City, the nation’s largest and most dynamic metropolis. Once known as Saigon, this bustling city blends old-world charm with modern energy, showcasing a fascinating mix of cultures, architecture, and history. With over 300 years of heritage, Ho Chi Minh City tells its story through colonial landmarks, war relics, and sacred temples.

Food tour with Saigon Adventure was simply amazing! Our guides Quoc Khang (Finn) and his friend (Quang Nhan) were experts, not only in Vietnamese cuisine, but also very knowledgeable about Vietnam. They took us to local restaurants, ordered Vietnamese specialties and explained how to eat and enjoy the food. Also, they gave us tips to get around the country and recommendations of places and cafes in different cities. Both tour guides were very nice and kind, they were well-prepared for the rainy weather or any unpredictable setback. We’re truly happy with the tour and we would recommend it to anyone how wants to try the best Vietnamese food and get to know more about its history and culture!

Hannah was really kind and patient and she took me to the best local spots. Not just the regular food like pho and banh mi but she took me to places where locals love to eat. She took care of me the entire trip. No dead air too! She spoke fluent english. Whatever I asked, she answered. Definitely one of the best traveling experience. Thank you to Hannah and Saigon adventure! Top notch customer service 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 We had an unforgettable experience on this food tour in Ho Chi Minh City! Jane was an amazing guide – cheerful, caring, and full of positive energy. I was joined by my pregnant wife, and Jane was incredibly thoughtful, adjusting the pace of the tour and always making sure my wife felt comfortable and safe. We truly appreciated her kindness and attention. Every food stop was delicious and authentic, and Jane shared fascinating stories about the local culture and daily life. Riding through the city with her was both fun and safe — a perfect mix of adventure and comfort. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the real Saigon through its food, its people, and the wonderful company of a guide like Jane. Thank you so much, Jane, for this beautiful memory! 🇻🇳🌸

I had such a wonderful experience on today’s motorbike tour! The food was absolutely delicious and I loved every stop we made. The girl ( happy ) who picked me up happy was super punctual and I really enjoyed our conversation on the way. The guide ( Leon )was also very friendly and fun. I liked that the group was small, which made everything feel more personal. By the end of the tour, I had a full belly and a happy heart. 💛 I honestly have no complaints or suggestions for improvement—the experience was simply excellent, and I would gladly do it again!

My wife and I enjoyed a great tour with Han all around the historic areas of Ho Chi Minh. She was so knowledgeable and shared as much details about the significance of each stop. The transportation along the way made our visit stress free as we navigated throughout the city. Highly recommend.

Our guide Boa and our driver Nam were the best so I hope I e spelled their names correctly. Friendly, professional, and engaging. The stops along the tour were neither too short or two long. Boa's knowledge and English were very helpful and appreciated. We were both able to walk away having learned many new things. Cam on, Boa and Nam!

This was perhaps the best and most informative city tour we’ve ever been in. Our guide, Bao was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of each of our stops. Would highly recommend this tour if you go to HCMC.
