We had an eventful and exciting tour through Saigon at night. Bien - our StreetFoodWoman- was very attentive, provided us with lots of information and brought us closer to Saigon's street food scene. It was fun to discover so many different sides of this crazy city on foot and of course to try out the many delicious dishes! We can recommend this tour!!!!! Thank you, Bien, for the nice evening!

Tony met us at hotel with Lyn (in training) we had a taxi to the first stop and the walk commenced from there. The street food was such an exciting experience, as we tried foods we would never have attempted. Thankyou. It was very good and interesting to find out about local Vietnamese cuisine and culture. They also went the extra mile all the way, and were lovely to talk to, great hosts, respectful but fun. I would trust them any time and recommend to all who would like this type of trip.

Best experience yet in Vietnam! Our guide Finn was the absolute best, so knowledgeable and helpful and just a joy to be around! All the food was incredible and its well worth the price for how much you get! Everything ran very smoothly, Finn came to pick us up at our hostel and then organised a taxi for us from there to the start of the walking tour and back again at the end. It was so nice to get the opportunity to eat with the locals and learn so much more about vietnamese culture. Thank you for an amazing time! Street Food Man really goes above and beyond on this tour!
