What people are saying about Ho Chi Minh City

We had one of the most memorable nights during our time in Vietnam with Lisa and Robert on the tour. They did an awesome job in introducing us to the street food scene in Saigon but what we enjoyed the most was their amazing company and their willingness to share their stories with us. You will have one of the best nights in your life if you go on a tour with Lisa and Robert! Will highly recommend, not only for the introduction to Saigon’s food scene but also to get under the skin of the people and the culture of Vietnam.

Great tour offered by Lam and his crew. Definitely this young men knows how to make this tour funny and excited. I strongly recommend it but please go with your stomach empty because you will enjoy many delicious street dishes. Regards from Mexico .

We had a lovely time with our hosts Lisa and Hien. The selection of food was delicious and we saw and learned a lot along the way as well! Would absolutely recommend this tour to get a feeling for the city and the culture! Thank you both :-)

Nice experience even though a strike nearly canceled entry. We were able to visit the castle 2 hours after the scheduled time, fortunately!

Had a great time. Not only good food but also a really good sight seeing tour with an experienced driver Cuong.
