Customer Reviews
This was one of the best food tours we’ve been on. We went to places we’d never otherwise think to visit, and had the opportunity to try a wide variety of local cuisine - my personal favourites were the Bun Bo Hue and Beef in Betel leaf. The tour was made perfect by our wonderful guide, Jane, whom was really passionate about sharing the Vietnamese culture and lifestyle with us. Not to mention, she weaved around the streets of HCM like a real champ. It’s really the tour to go on if you come to HCM!
Sunny and team is very experience. we booked for 12 course food tasting in HCM. We were brought to different district to taste various food. it was fun and amazing. during the tour we were told about some histry the the community in Saigon. we end the night with wealth of experience about Saigon. to end the night Sunny recommended a acoustic bar as well which has amazing vibe and the singer was great. If i have a friend travelling to Saigon i will definitely recommend my friends to take the street food tour on scooter.
This tour was our best experience we had in Saigon! Riding through the city on scooters and trying so many different local dishes was incredible. Every stop was a new surprise and a chance to taste authentic Vietnamese food that we would never have found on our own. Johny was an outstanding guide 🥳 friendly, professional, funny and full of interesting stories about local life, culture and food. All the drivers and female guides were also extremely kind, welcoming and made us feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the whole tour. It wasn’t just a food tour, trust me. It was a real cultural experience, full of laughter, great conversations and unforgettable moments. We finished the tour full, happy and with beautiful memories. If you are in Ho Chi Minh City, this is an absolute must do. Highly recommended! Thank you Johny for such an amazing evening 🤍
