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

I booked the Foodie tour for our first night in Vietnam and it was an incredible way to start the trip and get our bearings in Ho Chi Minh. The ladies were an absolute blast, the food was excellent, and they were able to accommodate a few of us vegetarians. We loved it so much we booked the Sights of Saigon for the next morning. While a very different vibe we were equally impressed with this tour. We got in a lot of sightseeing and Thy was such an excellent guide, providing a lot of history. We would not have been able to come even close to this experience trying to see the city on our own. My driver, Chi, was a real highlight of my whole trip to Vietnam and I’ll remember her and her infectious laugh for years to come. Absolutely recommend XO tours! Best way to experience HCM.

This was the best tour we've had in all of Vietnam and it's because of the tour guides. Our guides Nhi and Dieu were kind, friendly and we had great conversations. They made the tour. All the guides are really nice, thoughtful, funny, energetic, and wonderful. There's time to get to know them, ask them questions about Vietnam's culture/history/personality, The food was delicious and riding around on a motorcycle in HCMC is great. Riding around felt like I could get to know the city more than taking a car around. The food places the picked felt really local and authentic. Would absolutely do this again. And will book tours through XO exclusively next time we're in HCMC.

This was far and away the best night of our entire trip. 10 years ago a friend and I went to Vietnam while backpacking south east Asia, and while we were there we met some people who convinced us to do a foodie scootie tour. They said you ride on the back of a Vespa and go around to local restaurants trying out delicious food. I have been talking about that night / tour for a decade! So when my husband and I, and another couple went on this trip, I said that we must do it again. This time though we wanted to book with XO Tours because we loved the idea of an all female company, and it seemed as though they would show us more unique restaurants and foods. We were right! We had already tried the most popular dishes, so going around and trying foods we had never heard of was so fun! All the female drivers / tour guides were so kind and fun, and they made the evening the best night of our whole trip! They are smart, curious and gave us loads of knowledge about customs in the big city and in Vietnam as a whole. We loved how insightful they were, they drove really safe and just made the whole night such a blast! We laughed hard, played games, learned how to properly cheers beers and it made us feel secure taking scooter rides around town on Grab because they helped us with etiquette of riding on scooters. Thank you again for such a memorable night!!! It’s an absolute must book with this company! Do not second guess it.

Friends and I took the City Tour, and what an incredible experience it was! I have traveled the world and have done 100s of tours. This absolutely ranks as one of the best tours I have ever taken. We were given overviews of the plan for the day. Nhu, the leader, had maps that we could look at as she explained Saigon to us and showed us the various districts that we would be visting. We heard incredible history, got some great local insights along the way, had a fun food stop and ended in nirvana. I learned so much. It was so fun to ride the scooters and travel the way the Vietnamese do. You definitely need to do this tour. Nhu and her entire team were so fun. The tour was absolutely fabulous!

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.

I can't say enough good things about this experience. The XO ladies are an absolute delight! We learned more about the culture, traditions, city, and (of course) the food than we could have possibly expected. Our tour guide (Cam) was amazing - thoroughly explaining the dishes, answering questions, and getting to know everyone in our group. Our individual drivers (Han and Lam) were also wonderful! Such confident drivers in the chaotic traffic of Saigon! They shared so much knowledge with us and were total sweethearts. And finally, the food was delicious and special. We have been in Vietnam for a month and every dish was new to us. If you are considering this tour - you won't regret it. It is a bit more expensive than some of the other food tours, but totally worth it IMO. Thank you so much, XO!

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!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
