“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!”
