I booked this tour on the Viator app just a couple of hours before it started and it turned out to be the highlight of my trip to Ho Chi Minh City.
As a solo traveler on a business trip with only two days to explore, I wanted to experience the street food but had no idea where to begin. I also wanted to experience the city on a scooter without having to brave the traffic myself.
My guide Vincent Nguyen arrived early at my hotel. From the very beginning he was warm, professional and incredibly friendly. His excellent English made the experience so much more enjoyable as he was able to provide fascinating insights into the food, culture and the history of Vietnam.
Vincent took me to eating establishments across the city and we visited the flower market, places I would never have found on my own. He explained every dish in detail taking care to accommodate my dietary requirements. Each stop felt authentic and the food was absolutely delicious.
Vincent also engaged in conversations that made this tour truly special. We talked about Vietnamese history, daily life in Vietnam and how it compares to Europe. By the end of the evening I felt more like a friend than a client.
If you're visiting Ho Chi Minh City, I cannot recommend this tour highly enough and if you're lucky enough to have Vincent as your guide you're in for an unforgettable evening.
If I ever return, I will absolutely book with him again.
Thank you, Vincent, for such a memorable night!
