Deze tour kan ik iedereen aanraden! Gids Mimi rijdt uitstekend en veilig door het drukke verkeer en de smalste steegjes, dat is op zich al een belevenis. Je komt in 6 heel verschillende delen van de stad, en krijgt evenzoveel heerlijke gerechten, met goede uitleg over beide. Dat lukt je alleen of in een bus/taxi nooit. Top!

The tour just felt like I am sitting on the back of a friends bike, going around to places I never would be able to find myself! It was very informative and relaxed, unlike other tours, I went solo so it was just a nice one on one which is what I prefer. My tour guide Dan was very patient despite the traffic and our tour went a little over time but he never made me feel rushed to eat.

A wonderful shelter doing meaningful work to give dogs a second chance. I really appreciate that they are committed to being kill-free and focus on helping the dogs find loving, permanent homes.

I especially enjoyed volunteering to help socialise the dogs and get them more comfortable around people.

Really fun and unique class! If you like fish sauce, this really is the workshop for you. 

The instructor was kind and thoughtful, and I really appreciated the pace of the tastings.

Our Guide for our half day cycle trip though the Mini Mekong was Duc. He was excellent guide. His passion for nature and culture was very evident. He was very knowledgeable and we left with a better understanding of the local history and culture. The many stops along the way were a blessing as I had not been on a bike in 2 years.😉 Drinking tea in a local house, visiting the temple, the local market and the 1970's apartments was something we would not have discovered only for Jackfruit Travel. It was a brilliant 4 hours. Thank you Duc for a brilliant experience 👏

Duy gave very detailed introductions to each location, and was very friendly. The tour went very smoothly and managed to see many parts of HCMC that I wouldn’t otherwise have seen on my own. Lunch and drinks were included.
