    Alleyway Cooking Class with Auntie (4 Hours)

    An amazing tour that's worth every penny! Thank you so very much to Kevin for guiding us through the wonderfully authentic Vietnamese cooking class. It was an absolute delight to share a meal and a few laughs with the family. We had a fabulous time, learnt lots and tried so much delicious food. We highly recommend this tour!! Thanks again!

    Alleyway Cooking Class with Auntie (4 Hours)

    Truly one of the best highlights from my trip to Vietnam. For anyone who likes an Anthony Bourdain style of travelling and is seeking an authentic Vietnamese experience, this is a must-book. Kevin, the host, along with his aunties, really made me feel welcome in their home. The experience included a visit to the local market to get some ingredients and the cooking part was fun. The food was really good too, with unique dishes that you won't find on typical food tours. Highly recommended!

    Saigon's Hidden Gems Motorbike Tour (3 Hours)

    ⁠This was such a wonderful tour. It’s my second time in Vietnam, but my first time in Ho Chi Minh. We went to such great places for the food tour and learned a lot about Vietnam’s history. It was also great to get a glimpse of Vietnamese culture in such a bustling city. Kevin and David were such great and safe drivers too! We got to learn a lot from them and they were great to be around. Definitely recommend this for anyone coming to Vietnam.

    Motorbike Foodie Experience (4 Hours)

    This motorbike food tour was even better than I expected! My guide, Kevin, was amazing. He spoke good English and knew so much about the area. Even though I’m vegan, he took me to all the best local vegan spots, and I ate so much delicious food. It was by far the most memorable food tour I’ve ever been on. I highly recommend this tour to everyone. It was an absolute blast!
