If you are a newcomer to HCMC and not accustomed to how the traffic customs and dynamic with a very congested flow of scooter/car/bus/pedestrian traffic, the first few mins of the ride might be a little jarring... not b/c of the driver, ONLY b/c the congestion and pace can be a little overwhelming.

One of the highlights was taking a detour through the 24 hour flower market and discovering how silk was made from the stem of a lotus flower. Our guide was so knowledgeable and made sure that all our needs were catered for. My family has said so far the best tour they've had in Vietnam. If you get to go in this tour ask for Thin”

“We highly recommend this tour. It was pouring rain when the tour was scheduled to begin, but Grace offered to delay as long as needed to begin after rain if we desired. Very accommodating. We decided to take a chance and use the provided rain ponchos. But the time we got the ponchos on, the rain slowed considerably. By the time we arrived at the first stop, the rain ended. I believe there were about 6 stops with 10 dishes total. They were all delicious and it was difficult to rate which was best. We had been in Vietnam for about a week with another street food tour in Hanoi…”

“Absolutely amazing experience! Our street food tour in Saigon with Kim and Lukas was hands down one of the highlights of our trip. From the very beginning, both guides were incredibly friendly, open, and warm-hearted — it felt more like exploring the city with good friends than being on a tour. Also, they’re both very skilled drivers!! Kim and Lukas are not only super knowledgeable about Vietnamese cuisine and culture, but they also know all the best hidden food spots you’d never find on your own. Every stop brought something new and delicious. Along the way, we had so many fun and interesting conversations that gave us a deeper insight…”

“Being a vegetarian I had my own doubts in terms of whether it will be difficult for the guide to find the places that's suits me. But Ken (my guide) ensured that I had nothing to worry. Both food and his company was perfect. I guess I enjoyed his company and his stories more than the food. Thank you so much. It was excellent. I wouldn't mind going again for the same.”
