Super Niche Walking Street Food Tour in Ho Chi Minh City

We had a lovely time with Jack on this food tour in Ho Chi Minh. We weren't particularly keen on riding scooters around Ho Chi Minh, so this walking tour (with a taxi ride in there) suited us perfectly. The food on offer was ride ranging and very unique, and we loved it all. Jack was extremely well spoken and gave a great history about Ho Chi Minh and the food we ate. During the tour he also brought along his friend Tai who had lots to add about history and living life in Vietnam. Highly recommend!

In this tour, my husband and I discovered there is more diversity and complexity in Vietnamese food than beef noodle soup. What is similar is the focus on freshly made ingredients and farm fresh vegetables, herbs, and chilies. Jack was an awesome tour guide able to talk about food and history in equal measure in between stops and street crossings. Easy walking mainly in alleys away from the hectic traffic. Great food.

Fantastic tour! Kelly and Ted were so informative and engaging in explaining the local food and culture. They took us off the main roads and into the alleys where the locals go to shop and eat. Kelly had grown up in the area so knew it well and could provide more insight. We tried many new foods and all were delicious; you definitely won’t leave the tour hungry! One of the best tours ever!

After a number of trips to Vietnam this was our first food tour. Our host Kelly was very knowledgeable and engaging and took us to a very food oriented district that was not only new to us but one she knew intimately- as she grew up there. Great insights and a wonderful (and extensive!!) selection of food. An eye opener!

Mac was fantastic gave us lots of information about the food & surrounding area and took us to places we would never have found ourselves all of which were great. Mac even offered to buy us ponchos as it began to rain during our tour. Would definitely recommend to anyone in HCMC
