Our guide (Leo) made the tour very amazing! You get to see the local community in an authentic way. He takes you through the market, on a houseboat for a fresh coconut, on a boat through narrow canals, braiding bracelets, tasting honey wine and snake wine, as well as freshly made coconut candy and popped rice. It ends with a homemade buffet-style lunch, where you participate in the cooking with the family, after which you get to ride on the back of a scooter through the neighborhood. A very nice and full day, offering a unique tour of the Mekong Delta!

Loved getting to learn about what life is like from a local, and the food was very tasty too. My mom was not feeling well partway through the tour and we had to go home, but our guide, Linh, was extremely professional, helpful, and supportive throughout the entire incident. I am so grateful to have had him as our tour guide, as I was very worried about my mom, and cannot commend Linh enough for his composure, especially considering that he only recently became a tour guide. I highly recommend him for your next food tour!!

I booked this tour as I wanted to have an authentic food experience - and I got way more than that!

My parents and I were fetched by 3 guides at our hotel (in District 1). Upon arrival, they greeted us warmly and called my parents “mum” and “dad”, and took good care of them, making sure they feel safe as they whizzed through the traffic smoothly.

With every stop, our guides shared extensively about how Saigon is segregated between local and non-local areas, and the history/personal anecdotes behind some of the dishes. It’s only through this trip that we get a glimpse into their local neighbourhoods and dine like a local.

Highly recommend this tour, if you’d like to sample the best of Saigon, and understand the city better through the locals!

I loved this experience so much!! I showed up hungry and ended up having lunch with the whole family 🥹 We had banh xeo together and it was sooo good, ohh I’m already missing the taste.

I was honestly surprised by how warm and welcoming everyone was. Our host, Nhung, is so lovely and really cares about keeping the experience local and real. We got to hear so many personal stories about the war from her family’s point of view. Since they actually lived through it, hearing their stories felt really special and meaningful.

Nhung also recently renovated her house! It still looks traditional from the outside but there are 2 modern bedrooms and a kitchen at the back for overnight guests, which is super convenient too.

Thank you Nhung and your family for making me feel so welcome and sharing so much with me. Such a lovely experience, definitely one I won’t forget hehe :3

We went with Kyle and he was honestly the highlight of the whole trip!!! He’s so fun, caring, sweet and knows SO much about Vietnamese history and Cu Chi. He took really good care of us, and the way he joked around with everyone made it feel like we were just hanging out with our big brother 😂 The only thing that annoyed me a bit is the weather.. One thing to keep in mind though, Vietnam in October is so hot and humid so definitely come prepared for the weather. As for the tunnels, you can choose whether you want to go in or not and if you do, you can decide how long you want to stay. I could only last about 5 minutes in there lol, so it’s nice that you can take it at your own pace. Highly recommend :)

This was honestly so much better than I expected! The two girls Ngan and Vy who took us around were so funny and are both super great drivers too. They also shared lots of little things about local life in the city along the way, which made the whole experience even more interesting.

We tried 6 dishes in 4 hours, and they were really flexible with the food depending on the weather, our mood and our allergies. It rained while we were out, but that somehow made the experience even more memorable 😂 We had such a good time together, and I was sooooo full by the end even until the next morning! Such a lovely experience

I was surprised because everything was so beautifully decorated here, and there was even a room filled with historical items that felt like a small museum, my fav room so far!! Mr Buu, the host, is very passionate about the culture. He explained everything in a simple, easy to understand way, you could really feel how much he loves what he does. He and his team were also very welcoming and professional throughout the experience. Learning about the family lineage and seeing the lion dance head were the coolest parts for me :)

Would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to discover a different side of Vietnamese culture or Asian culture in general, beyond the usual touristy places in HCMC :)
