Premium Saigon Michelin Food Experience by Insider Scooter
Description
Join us for a unique Saigon evening street food adventure, where we'll take you on a culinary journey off the beaten path to discover authentic local flavors. Unlike typical food tours, we'll skip the commonly known dishes like Pho, Spring Rolls, and Banh Mi Sandwiches, and instead introduce you to hidden gems that locals love. Get picked up at your hotel address and hop on our scooter to join a 4-hour Saigon evening street food guided by locals. On this evening food menu, you will taste your way through cuisine from North Vietnam, Hue, and South.

We had an amazing experience with Grey and Han as our tour guides. The booking process was easy and fast through Whatsapp and they accommodated our needs, as we had already been travelling through Vietnam an had already tastes some dishes. They proposed other dishes to do in the tour and they were all absolutely delicious. Our guides picked us up from the hotel, and drove us very safely around Ho Chi Minh in the hunt for tasty local food. Their energy was amazing and their English is very fluent, so it was very nice and easy to learn more about local life with them. We recommend it 100% to find local tastes and explore this vibrant city during the tour.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re really happy to hear you had such a great experience with Grey and Han. They’ll be glad to know you enjoyed the customized food stops, local stories, and the overall experience. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to see you again in Saigon someday!

I did a city tour with Ben's company the day before and yesterday I contacted him very last minute to ask if he had someone that could do a food tour with me and he was able to make it happen! My tour was with Grey and he was an absolute joy to be around! He explained each dish very well and was so social and personal. I really appreciated his energy and kindness. We had the best time singing Taylor Swift and Shakira on our way to Saigon River! Thank you for s wonderful experience!
Thank you so much for your lovely review and for choosing to tour with us again! I’m really happy we could arrange the food tour for you last minute, and even happier to hear you had such a fun time with Grey. He’ll be so glad to know you enjoyed the food, the conversations, and of course the Taylor Swift and Shakira singalong 😄 Thank you again for your kindness, and we hope to see you again on your next trip to Saigon!

I first went on a food tour with this company two years ago when I travelled in a group so when I came back to Ho Chi Minh solo I knew I wanted to book again! My tour guide, Grey, was so so great! Straight away we were chatting like friends! He told me lots of information about the different foods I was trying and I taught him some British slang, a cultural exchange! The vibes were so fun, we were singing together whilst driving round the city and I didn’t want the tour to end! Grey really was an excellent guide and I would recommend this tour to anybody staying in Ho Chi Minh, you won’t regret it!
Thank you so much for coming back to tour with us again — that truly means a lot! We’re so happy to hear you had such a fun experience with Grey. The best tours always feel like exploring the city with a friend, so it’s wonderful to know you connected so well together. I’m sure Grey will never forget the British slang lessons either 😄 Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation, and we hope to see you again on your next trip to Ho Chi Minh City! Best regards, Saigon Taste Tours Team
Grayson took me to many interesting places in Saigon, including must-gos and hidden gems. The experience at the bunker cafe is immersive and impressive. I also enjoyed the drinks and food on the tour. As a Chinese tourist it is interesting for me to see the Buddhist temple in Chinatown and learn the history. It was a 1–1 tour so everything was explained in a very thorough manner and I was very well taken care of. Very friendly for solo travelers. There’s no extra admissions fee on the tour. I would recommend this experience if you have half day in Saigon!
Dear Joy, Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review! I’m really glad you enjoyed the mix of must-see spots and hidden gems, especially the bunker café and Chinatown experience. Happy to hear you felt well taken care of on the private tour — that means a lot to us. Thanks again for your recommendation, and hope to see you back in Saigon! Best regards, Ben, Grayson, and the Saigon Taste Tours team
