Itinerary
The first stop is Bánh mì – one of the most delicious sandwiches in the world. It features a crispy outer baguette and is known for its wide variety of fillings, such as vegetarian options, fish, chicken, or the traditional pork and pâté. It's a perfect and tasty choice to kick off your culinary discovery journey.
Bánh xèo is a must-try dish in Southern Vietnam, known for its crispy, fragrant rice flour pancake filled with pork, shrimp, and bean sprouts. It’s typically served with a variety of fresh herbs, pickled vegetables, and a sweet-and-sour fish sauce. Tasting this dish is a flavor explosion that blends multiple layers of herbs and ingredients, offering a deeper understanding of Vietnamese culinary culture. Here, you’ll also get to enjoy gỏi cuốn (fresh spring rolls) – one of the iconic dishes of Vietnamese cuisine. These fresh rolls are made with thin rice paper wrapping around shrimp, pork, vermicelli noodles, and fresh herbs, served with a rich, savory peanut dipping sauce. Light, fresh, and delicious, it’s a dish you simply can’t miss.
This stop offers you a chance to explore Vietnamese beer-drinking culture: How do locals enjoy beer? What kinds of dishes are typically served with it? You’ll get to taste at least three delicious seafood dishes such as grilled oysters with scallion oil, lemongrass-steamed clams, and stir-fried seafood noodles. It’s a true local experience where you’ll enjoy the authentic flavors just like the Vietnamese do.
At the dessert stop, you’ll enjoy a trendy treat loved by Vietnamese youth: coconut ice cream or avocado ice cream. Made from pure coconut or fresh avocado, these desserts are rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying—a perfect way to end our culinary journey on a sweet note.
Before concluding the food tour, our motorbike team will take you to Ba Son Bridge – a new symbol of Ho Chi Minh City. From here, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the city sparkling with lights from above and take memorable photos by the Saigon River. It’s the perfect way to wrap up our flavorful journey.

We had an amazing time on the Saigon Street Food by Scooter tour! Traveling as a family with kids, we were a bit nervous at first, but everything was so well organized and thoughtfully planned that we felt completely at ease. The guides were incredibly friendly, professional, and safety-conscious, especially with the kids, which made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. What impressed us the most was how well the food itinerary was customized to suit a family. The stops were varied and balanced — from flavorful but not-too-spicy dishes to fun, interactive street snacks that our kids absolutely loved. Every location felt authentic but also clean and comfortable, which really helped us relax and enjoy the local flavors. The team even made sure to ask about any dietary restrictions or preferences beforehand, and they adjusted the menu accordingly. It was clear they cared about giving each guest a memorable and personal experience. Riding through the streets of Saigon on the back of a scooter, sampling delicious bites at hidden local gems, and learning about Vietnamese culture — it was a night to remember for the whole family. Highly recommended!
We had warmly welcome with the local guide from HCM city. Enjoy time with foods, sightseeing and hear some story sharing by them. The first time, my team from North come to the South and HCM city, a new perspective for us. Love it ♥️
