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

I took this tour on the 15/10/25 following a recommendation from 2 good friends. Hands down, the best food tour I've ever experienced. As a passionate foodie with dietary restrictions (no pork or shellfish), I was genuinely impressed by how thoughtfully the organisers accommodated my needs, nothing felt compromised. What surprised me most was that the tour wasn’t just about food. It included a deep dive into several fascinating districts around Ho Chi Minh City, offering a rich cultural perspective alongside the culinary delights. My guide, Vy (number 9), was absolutely brilliant. She shared stories about her life in Vietnam, which added a personal and meaningful layer to the experience. The leader of our group was Giang3 and she was also fantastic, fun and really knowledgeable about the city and the various districts. If you're considering a food tour, I highly recommend paying the extra as it’s worth every dong.

My girlfriend and I did this moped food tour on September 29th, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our trip to Vietnam. We explored loads of great local spots outside the main districts and learned so much about the culture and history along the way. My guide, Vy, was absolutely amazing - her English was perfect, she was hilarious, easy to chat with, and made me feel completely safe on the bike. She taught me some Vietnamese too. She went above and beyond to make sure I had non-seafood options, encouraged me to try new dishes, and even sat with me at the table rolling bo la lot wraps for me one by one. Such a kind gesture and genuinely one of the best guides I’ve ever had. Couldn’t recommend this tour enough - it’s worth every penny.

We recently did the XO Tours Saigon motorbike experience and absolutely loved it. From the moment we were picked up, we felt completely at ease — the drivers were confident, friendly, and made us feel safe weaving through the chaos of the city. Seeing Saigon from the back of a bike was an incredible way to take it all in — the smells, sounds, and energy of the streets were unforgettable. Our guide was brilliant: warm, funny, and full of great local insights that made every stop more meaningful. The food was genuinely local, not watered down for tourists, and we discovered dishes and neighbourhoods we’d never have found on our own. It was a perfect mix of adventure and authenticity, and by the end of the night we felt like we’d experienced the real Saigon. Highly recommend XO Tours — easily a five-star experience for anyone visiting the city.

We booked the XO Foodie Tour for our stay in Ho Chi Minh City. The entire experience, from beginning to end, was nothing short of spectacular. Not only did we explore the city, including a stop at the market to see amazingly fresh fruits, vegetables, and seafood, but we ate delicious food the entire evening. We started with crab with noodles and soup, then onto grilled beef and goat, and finished the night with scallops, clams, crab, and snails. Many a beer was had as well. Most of all, our hostesses for the evening were welcoming, kind, and truly made the evening one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. If you’re in Ho Chi Minh City, this is a must-do!

This has to be one of my favourite tours ever ! The ladies were absolutely fabulous. I learned so much about Vietnamese culture and food. I felt very safe with my driver, Lim who was also friendly, helpful and shared so many interesting Facts about Saigon. The food was amazing and we were treated like VIPs from the moment we were picked up until we were safely dropped back at our hotel. I would highly recommend this XO tour to anyone visiting Saigon.

Booking the XO Foodie Tour was hands down the highlight of our trip to Saigon! Our incredible guides — Vy6, Ngoc2, and Linh2 — were not only so kind and welcoming, but also incredibly knowledgeable, skilled drivers, and so much fun to spend the evening with. They made the whole experience even more special than we could’ve imagined! Each of the three food stops and the three different districts we explored offered something unique — delicious local dishes, beautiful sights, and such rich cultural insight. We learned so much about Vietnamese culture while having an absolute blast. I can’t recommend this tour enough — if you’re visiting Saigon, this is an absolute must-do!

I booked with XO tours twice (May 2019 & August 2025) and enjoyed both experiences. I was thinking of booking with another company and I’m glad I didn’t. We purchased the additional video footage which I thought was worth it. Although I booked the Saigon by night twice, I feel like they were both different experiences despite it being with the same company. During the August 2025 booking, we were able to visit a different part of the city and learn about the recent changes affecting the area as it attempts to gentrify. We were served food and drinks, which were definitely not items I’ve tried before but glad I was able to eat them since they were soooo yummy!! All the girls that were our tour guides were so sweet, easy to connect with and just genuinely the kindest people. I enjoyed hearing their stories and how they love working with XO tours. Since it was my second time with them, they gave me a unique token of appreciation to take home with me! My tour guide also sent me some recommendations after of different places to try. Would definitely go again to try the foodie tour or the sight seeing around the city.

I had a really great experience on the XO Foodie tour on September 19th. I joined the tour by myself and our guides went out of their way to chat to me. It was my first time riding on a motorbike and my guide Tiên was awesome - I always felt safe and in very capable hands. The sightseeing given by tour leader Yen Tran was very interesting and informative and the food was all delicious and, as promised, not overly "typical" Vietnamese dishes. I would go on this tour again and highly recommend XO tours.
