Ho Chi Minh

We had an amazing experience with Saigon River Tour! The speedboat ride to the Cu Chi Tunnels was beautiful, smooth, and such a relaxing way to travel - no traffic and great views along the river. Our guide Trang was absolutely wonderful! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared so many interesting stories about Vietnam's history and culture. Trang took great care of everyone and made the whole trip unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour and especially Trang for anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City!

Hannah is awesome. She is knowledgeable and not hesitant to share that knowledge. She is an ultimate professional and lovely. a. A tour guide with a heart that she is.

After looking at the 100s of options of visiting this iconic area I’m so glad we chose this one . prompt pick up at my hotel . Excellent communication. Speedboat is comfortable. Superclean , Luxurious and snacks and drinks are endless . Great info on the Vietnam war and what takes everyone a day to do is done in half day !!

cooking class was very fun and engaging, we enjoyed listening to our teacher explain more about the ingredients and how to cook! he was humourous as well haha. very patient instructor and would definitely recommend this activity! food was really nice too.

Did the market tour + cooking class and didn’t regret choosing this option. The market tour not only showed us what ingredients they use and where it came from but also gave us suggestions on where we could buy it (great for people wanting to bring home the exact spices used in the class). The cooking class was very interactive and had a good instructor that didn’t rush us when we struggled with some steps. The dishes we made were also really delicious and it was so cool that each student had the chance to flambé the meat we used for the salad. Would recommend for those wanting to learn more about Vietnamese cuisine or maybe for those who simply want to have fun while eating good food🫶

I found out that the restaurant where I had a delicious meal on my previous trip to Vietnam offered a cooking class tour, so I arranged it. In the morning, I took a Grab (self-arranged) from the hotel to the meeting point at the market. From 8:00 AM, Chef Phu and the other participants (a father and son from Taiwan, a cheerful couple from the Philippines, and two of us cooking enthusiasts from Japan) listened to Chef Phu's friendly and cheerful explanations while touring dried goods, grains, fresh fish, vegetables, fruits, and chè. We moved to the kitchen in a taxi arranged by the chef. We learned while relaxing, with considerations to avoid fatigue, such as sitting down to cut vegetables in a system where we cooked and ate three dishes. The quantity was so generous that we didn't need lunch, and the taste was excellent. There were so many dishes I wanted to recreate after returning home. Finally, while enjoying a dessert of white balls in ginger syrup prepared by the chef, we joined the classmates even though we only spoke simple English, asked the chef questions, and had a wonderful four hours. A local Vietnamese madam who hadn't participated in the market tour joined us from the kitchen. Everyone was interested and asked about the seasoning because they were using very good fish sauce in the lesson. I was convinced that "Hoa Tuc" is an attractive restaurant even for locals. I heard that they make different dishes on different days of the week, so I would like to change the day and participate again when I visit Vietnam. The lesson, a cute recipe book, and photos with everyone became souvenirs for myself.

Our experience was absolutely outstanding! Chef Vivian and the entire staff were so friendly and welcoming. Chef Vivian really knows her craft and kept the whole class fun and entertaining from start to finish. She even shared great recommendations for places to eat and visit. Kudos to Chef Vivian and the team for an unforgettable experience. We had such an amazing time and highly recommend this class!

It was even better than I imagined. They taught me about the quality of the flavors and even told me about shops. I signed up on the last day, but I wish I had gone on the first day. I was able to learn authentic Vietnamese cuisine, and it was very beneficial!

Thanks for a fabulous tour - we had just a wonderful time - was a great way to learn so much about Vietnam and meeting local people and cooking food! Thanks for an amazing tour.
