“Jade was a great guide for this food tour, and Kai the group leader was also exceptional. We toured about various locations in Saigon that I would never have seen if not for the tour. The food was really tasty and it made me try some dishes I probably would never have tried if I had not had this experience. I also had a small issue where I got the wrong day for my tour, totally my fault, but the team were easy to contact and great to deal with. Fantastic experience all round, 5* would definitely recommend!”

They showed us how to eat each of the dishes we tried with the right herbs and condiments. The food had been my main priority in choosing a tour, and we were not disappointed. My friends, who were visiting from out of town, had been nervous about riding motorbikes in Saigon traffic, but our guides drove slowly and carefully. They took great care…”
