XO Tours - Saigon Food Tours and City Tours Led by Women

XO tours gave us a memorable ride around Saigon with excellent food stops. My GPS recorded 22 miles of cycling through multiple districts, starting and ending at our hotel. Two of my friends were hesitant about bike safety but were soon at ease with the safe driving and skills these women exhibit. While riding and eating, we learned so much about Vietnamese life from their life stories. Our evening was during some downtime during a Viking river cruise and was definitely a highlight of our 3 week trip. I highly recommend to others.

This food tour was such a unique and memorable experience! The dishes were incredible, and I loved trying foods I’d never had before. The hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming—they truly felt more like friends than guides. My scooter driver Hang was so attentive and I had such good conversations with her! The main host was very knowledgeable about the city’s culture and shared interesting insights throughout the tour, which added so much depth to the experience. They were also incredibly attentive to each customer, making sure everyone felt included and well taken care of. The fun games along the way added an extra layer of enjoyment and made the whole experience interactive and lively. I would highly recommend this food tour to anyone looking for great food and an unforgettable experience.

XO Tours delivered one of the best experiences I had in Ho Chi Minh City! This women-led initiative pairs you with local women who take you around the city on their bikes, and it was absolutely fantastic. I opted for the vegetarian food tour and was blown away by the variety. We started with delicious vegetarian phở chay, followed by an amazing array of dishes including lotus stems, sautéed greens, and with mung bean rolls. Everything was paired with plenty of local bia from Tiger and Saigon - the perfect way to experience the local drinking culture! Our route took us through fascinating neighborhoods, including the local Koreatown area and bustling food markets. Our bikers were incredibly friendly, professional, and made us feel completely safe through the evening. You can tell they genuinely loved sharing their city and culture with visitors.😊🇻🇳 This tour gave us exactly what we were hoping for: authentic local cuisine, real cultural immersion, and the chance to connect with local people. It was a highlight of my trip. Highly, highly recommend XO Tours to anyone visiting HCMC who wants to experience the city like a local!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

My mum and I had the best time on 2 different XO TOURS during our time in Saigon: First, we did the Foodie Tour with amazing guides Tao and Thang. The two guides were so kind, fun, articulate and knowledgeable and extremely safe and capable drivers. We saw 5 districts and ate a variety of amazing local dishes. They even surprised me with a cake for my birthday that had happened the week prior. My mums favourite stop was through the chinatown fruit market, and our guides picked up some exotic fruits for us to try. Overall, we absolutely loved our guides and this tour and would highly recommend. We had such a great time on the food tour we also went on the XO Sights of Saigon tour which was a cultural and historical tour of Saigon with amazing guides Linh and Truc. They taught us so much about Vietnamese history, religion, politics and culture and showed us fascinating sights including a secret bunker used to smuggle weapons during the war. Our guides were extremely kind, fun and happily answered all of our questions along the way. We also had a delicious lunch with our awesome guides. Our only regret is that we could not do the Saigon by Night tour. My mum stated those tours were here favourite part of visiting multiple countries in Asia over a three week trip. We love XO Tours!

This tour was one of our best experiences in Ho Chi Minh and a great way to taste local food. I went with my boyfriend and both of our drivers (Han and Lin) were friendly, knowledgable and made the experience one to remember. Make sure you come hungry! You get loads of food and drink included and an opportunity to try many different local dishes. It is also a great way to learn about Vietnamese culture and the girls are happy to answer any questions. There are even some fun games!! I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the city!

What a fun experience! This was our third food tour and third motorbike tour in Vietnam and this was a standout. Our drivers (Hang and Thanh 2) met us at our hotel to meet up with the rest of the group. I was a little nervous at how large the group size was compared to our earlier tours, but our guide (Giang 2) made everyone feel included and my fears were unnecessary. The night ride was beautiful and the stops were unique. Wide variety of food and activities. I suggest doing this on your first day in Saigon to give you a good overview of the city and the different districts. Hang and Thanh 2 were fantastic drivers and great guides while we on the bikes, and Giang 2 had impeccable English and boundless enthusiasm. Such a fun evening - not to be missed!

My two boys and I had a fantastic experience on the XO food tour and I’d do it again. We were greeted at our hotel by the courteous guides who drove us away in their motorbikes, expertly handling the chaotic traffic and always making sure we were comfortable. Trying the different foods was so interesting, but honestly the fun part was zipping around in different areas of the city we would never have seen. Will always remember this tour with my family.

XO Foodie Tour on 26th December 2025 After a lot of research on which were the best things to do in HCM city, this XO Foodie Tour stood out the most in almost all must-do activities. And without a doubt, it was an amazing experience. We had the most memorable and delicious tour that one can ask for. The highlights were the 5 key stops they make during the tour - 2 sight seeing and 3 food stops (and my favourite was the barbecue stop where the beef and goat were superb). But, what makes the tour a stand out is the warmth, friendliness, hospitality and courtesy of the local guide rider who takes you pillion on her motorbike. I was paired with my rider Tran who was an amazing person, very knowledgeable, very helpful and also very passionate. Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Saigon and must ask for Tran as your tour guide 😊
