From the moment our friendly and knowledgeable guide, Tanya, greeted us, I knew we were in for a treat. The tour was thoughtfully curated, taking us on a captivating stroll through the charming alleys and bustling streets of this food lover's paradise. Each stop along the way revealed a culinary treasure, showcasing the rich tapestry of Vietnamese cuisine. The selection of dishes we sampled was simply phenomenal. Among others, we savored the mouthwatering freshness of banh mi and the irresistible crunch of banh xeo. Tanya skillfully explained the origins and cultural significance of each dish, giving us a deeper understanding of the local gastronomy. If you're a food enthusiast seeking to indulge in an immersive culinary journey, I recommend embarking on this remarkable experience.

Eugene was a phantastic guide. Very engaged and we had a very good conversation about Vietnamesian food and live in general. He was very much interested about our impressions and the tour was at the end longer than it was supposed to be. The food was amazing. The best tour we had in Vietnam so far.

As you are looking for food tours, I want to firstly assure you that you will be fed well, and you won't leave hungry. So go ahead and book it :) I had a great time walking around Districts 3 and 10 with Gracie, tasting some really nice local street food! Besides experiencing food, as it is a private tour, I got plenty of opportunities to chat with Gracie and learn a lot about the culture and life in Saigon. Definetly an interesting several hours that got me to experience and appreciate the local culture more. So again, book it :)
