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

This was simply one of the most amazing food tour and cultural experiences I have participated in while traveling! Not only do you get to try some of the most delicious food ever (foods that you might not find on your own without a local’s knowledge), but you also learn a bit about Vietnamese culture and modern life. The coolest part is being driven around by a super experienced tour guide. If you’re not used to riding on motorbikes, the first go around might be a little exhilarating, but you will get the hang of it. Trust your tour guide — they are super experienced! All in all — I would definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone who loves food and adventure! PS my tour guide Chi was the most lovely person ever! We were a match made in heaven!

Our tour guides were so genuine, helpful, and fun to spend the day with. Jenny and Lin… you rock! Seriously. They made it clear they were open to all questions about the culture in Vietnam and by the end of it they felt like our friends. They also went above and beyond and did a little celebration song and flower for our honeymoon. Driving: we were nervous but they were so safe, asked how we were doing along the way, and it was a ton of fun! Tour: daytime history and sites tour :) Highly recommend!

Oh my gosh, what an AMAZING experience! My partner and I had the absolute best time on the scooter foodie tour— it exceeded all of our expectations. I will definitely recommend this to all my friends and family! It was actually on my birthday, and they went above and beyond by surprising me with a birthday cake! We got to explore so many cool districts and tasted so many local dishes. Every stop was a new adventure! And even though we were zipping around during rush hour, I felt super safe on the scooter. The weather didn’t hold us back at all. A huge thank you to the team for making this one of the absolute highlights of our trip. We’re already planning to come back—can’t wait! 🌟

Our Saigon by Night tour with XO was the highlight of our trip. It was an exhilarating, informative and delicious tour of the real (not touristy) Saigon. Our hosts/scooter drivers were delightful as they expertly navigated the chaotic streets. Their energy and passion were obvious. The combination of street markets, family home visit and dinner + dessert stops were a perfect blend - providing a unique insight into Vietnamese life. We are so glad that we did not settle for the cliche or ordinary tourist excursion. A truly memorable experience.

An Unforgettable Experience – Rain or Shine! We had the absolute best time on the XO Food Tour in Saigon – even with the rain pouring down, it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Our guides, Duong, Phoebe, Nung, and Grace, were amazing – warm, knowledgeable, and so much fun to spend the evening with. They took us to five fantastic local restaurants that we likely would have never discovered on our own. Every stop featured authentic, delicious Vietnamese dishes that gave us a real taste of Saigon’s culinary scene. We also enjoyed a lively market tour that added a cultural touch to the experience. Riding on the back of the scooters felt very safe, even in the rain, thanks to the professionalism and confidence of the XO team. The energy, food, and personal insights from the guides made this a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Saigon – it’s a must-do!

First of all, a shoutout to Thu, Tram and Dieu for being early to pick us up from our hotel to the first stop of the Foodie tour. Their safe riding throughout the tour makes us feel extremely safe to be with. This is true till when we are back at the front of our hotel. The constant engagement with us about different topics has also made the tour very interesting and insightful. First first stop, a crab noodles store, is already so mouth watering but the following stops provide equally delicious or even better foods too. The sightseeing stops are also very interesting as they allow us to understand more about Ho Chi Minh City. Only praises for the tour ever since we got back from Saigon and we will definitely be back for more tours with the XO tours! Mot, Hai, Ba, Dô!

What can I say except that this is the tour everyone should experience when visiting Saigon! I booked the XO Food Tour without expecting much, but wow—this exceeded all my expectations. From exploring different districts to learning about Vietnam’s rich culture, every moment was incredible. And let’s not forget the food… oh yes, the food! Every stop offered an all-you-can-eat feast of authentic Vietnamese dishes, making it an absolute dream for food lovers. If you’re heading to Vietnam, do yourself a favor and book this tour—you won’t regret it!

A must do in Saigon. We enjoyed the XO Tours so much 10 years ago, that we did it again this time with more family. Well organised, very friendly, competent ladies who delight you with their conversation, wonderfully inquisitive and sharing personalities and skill at driving you on the motorbikes effortlessly around many locals districts. Enjoyed great local cuisine, had so much fun on the busy roads and formed connections with our drivers. I appreciated the small gift for returning to the tour years later. Highly recommend.
