I loved the tour. I went to a lot of places I would’ve been intimidated to go into on my own. I didn’t see any other foreigners in the establishments. The food was great. We had egg coffee and we even got to meet one of the guys who created it! I highly recommend this food tour. Our tour guide was Mia and she was very caring and informative.

My partner and I really loved this street food tour. We tend to be pretty independent travellers but Tina and our other guide (sorry I forgot his name!) we’re super relaxed while also being informative. It felt more like being shown around by a friend than going on a tour. We really felt like we were stopping at stalls which our guides personally thought were best for each dish we were trying.

It was a really nice experience with the best tourgide Dan! We had even more guides then people so it was a tour with a lot of information about food in Vietnam & we loved it! After the tour he gave us a lot of additional information about the best places to eat! We really recommend it!
