Our tour with Ngan was great! She took us to some places with delicious food that we'd never able to find on our own, told us a lot about the history of Ho Chi Minh city along the way, and left us with some great recommendations of where to eat/ what to see so we can keep on exploring the city on our own. We definitely recommend this tasty tour!

The food experience is one of the most beautiful i have ever had. I could never imagine that these places are real and that exist in Vietnam. Casey our tour guide explained everything we tasted, all of them were tasty and delicious. This tour was special because of the guide, she was so friendly and happy person like being a friend of mine. Thank you Casey, hope to see you soon.
