Such an amazing tour! Our guides Travis, Stag and Vic were really good - very friendly and knowledgeable. There was a good variety of food which was all delicious and we definitely wouldn't have tried it on our own. I was a bit nervous to go on the scooter but they made us feel very safe and by the end I was having so much fun riding around.

The tour definitely kept it's promise to have no tourists on it. It was extremely nice to see some parts of the city that you probably wouldn't see otherwise and eat at restaurants you'd very often just pass by. 
 Vic was a really great tour guide who was very knowledgeable and could answer all my questions. Overall a great experience that I'd definitely recommend!

Had an enlightening session with Ben on understanding the origins of Pho and the evolution of it throughout the years. There is more to Pho then the Southern Vietnam version we see around the world! 

We had so much fun at Saigon Social that we signed up for their Vietnamese Coffee Worshop/Introduction right after! Thank you Jovel and team!

The tour was great and exactly what was advertised and what I was also looking for. The spot was indeed not very crowded or overflowing with tourists, but still had everything you'd want from a visit to the Cu Chi tunnels, as in getting to experience to crawl through and enter a couple of these, albeit nowadays enlarged, tunnels. In contrast to the southern location, this one also has a memorial for many fallen Liberation Front soldiers.

Our guide Kyle was really great and very knowledgeable about the place and the history. He told great stories, had a lot of information to share with us and was able to answer all of our questions. The lunch we got after was very delicious. All-in-all a great tour.

We had a great time learning about the different fish sauce and tastings. The hosts Victor and the young girl were so friendly, accommodating and made us feel so welcome. 
 Will definitely go back for one of the other experiences they offer.

Deze tour kan ik iedereen aanraden! Gids Mimi rijdt uitstekend en veilig door het drukke verkeer en de smalste steegjes, dat is op zich al een belevenis. Je komt in 6 heel verschillende delen van de stad, en krijgt evenzoveel heerlijke gerechten, met goede uitleg over beide. Dat lukt je alleen of in een bus/taxi nooit. Top!
