Firstly, We start at Chuoi nep nuong Vo Van Tan, Located in District 3, one of the city’s most unique districts, this vendor occupies a small street corner where a local family has been preparing a mixed Vietnamese-Cambodian dish called “Chuoi Nep Nuong” or “Banana Grilled with Sticky Rice” for over four decades. Next, We'll walk into the heart of district 3 and explore the old apartments has the name Nguyen Thien Thuat Apartment Buildings Area which is home to dozens of famous Vietnamese street food that will tempt your stomach. This is where you’ll have original Bun Bo Hue, a unique recipe that takes approximately 8-10 hours to craft a rich broth combined with beef slices, pork sausage, and vibrant onion and spicy coriander. This food-stop is owned by a local with over 25 years experience from Hue (central Vietnam) Then, stroll along a street known for its barbecue seafood vendors and head to a local-favorite restaurant to taste the best “Bò Lá Lốt” (Beef in Wild Betel Leaves)
A street food paradise is here, You will watch ‘Bánh Xèo” and “Bánh Khọt” being made in front of you– Originating from the Mekong Delta in the western part of Vietnam, “Banh Xeo” derives its name from the sizzling sound it makes when cooked on a hot pan.

We had 2 great guides, Tom and Vince and they both drove very carefully and safe in the chaotic traffic in Saigon. The spots were we enjoyed our streetfood were original and the food was good. And the guys were superfriendly.
Vince speaks very well about the food tour and the history of the food. Super friendly and accommodating.
Virgil and Lucy were great! If you want to try all sorts of Vietnamese food in a short time, this is the tour to do that!
Vergil and Anhphuoc Le were very friendly and accommodating. Awesome experience and tour guides. The food were authentic and yummy as well. We learned so much about Vietnamese culture because of them. Though the description says 8-10 tastings, we only had 6 (1 was beverage) which is okay considering the booking price is cheaper than other offers we saw online. I just hope the agency could be more honest than making it look like it's misleading.
We had a really great time! It was my first time on a motorbike but journey was very smooth and the drivers make you feel very comfortable. Everyone was very friendly and informative. Would definitely reccomend!
Had an amazing experience with my wife. Tour guides were very friendly, helpful, and informative about local cuisine and history as well as general advice about the city.
This tour is private one on one with just our group of 2 people. Hanne and Phuoc were so fun and accommodating. They challenged themselves to find foods that we never had before as fellow Vietnamese. Highly recommend.
Excellent night out with Vincent, Tom, Jerry and Kim. Food was great, travel through Saigon on the motorcycles was a great way to be part of the city. The guides were first class. This is a must do in Saigon. Highly recommend
A wonderful way to spend an evening. Travelling through the streets of Ho. Chi Minh on a scooter with the family, visiting authentic food stalls was an experience we will remember for ever. Thanks for a memorable evening!
The guide tour crew were phenomenal, super welcoming and very friendly and sweet. The food was amazing and the motorbike rides around the city were very scenic and smooth. Would recommend to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh, 10/10 experience.
