The food tour was an impromptu plan and I loved it. Mostly, because of the guide Mr. Bob. He was energetic and enthusiastic in explaining about the food and the country. The food we tried were unique to Vietnam and the choice was great

I did the street food tour with Vũ Tuấn Anh. He was an amazing host. His English was perfect and his personality was funny, happy and kind! It was raining really heavily, but he asked us if we wanted to continue and was still happy to do so. He took us to places I would have never found on my own and taught us how to corrdlectly eat the food (like wrapping the crispy pancakes!) A girl in our group was vegetarian and he also catered to her needs. He had a real talent being a tour guide and made my LAST night in vietnam a special memory! I recommend to everyone.

I have done several food tours across Vietnam. This one clearly had the most variety and was a great combination of walking the city and eating in different places. We ate and saw a lot😂
Our tour guides (it was 2) were very engaged and wanted it to be a great experience for us which it was.
As well it was very good value for money in my point of view. Can only recommend this tour.
