Itinerary
Your local student street food guide, who is passionate about Vietnamese street food, will pick you up at your hotel, apartment, or Airbnb by taxi. You will leave the tourist area behind and start your food adventure in a street food paradise. You will taste “Banh Xeo” and “Banh Khot”, which are rice pancakes from the Central and South of Vietnam, with lots of fresh Vietnamese vegetables. You will stroll along a street known for its barbecue seafood vendors. Then, you will head to a local-favorite restaurant to taste the best “bo la lot” (beef in wild betel leaves) and “Hue beef soup” (or Bun Thit nuong), which is an 8-hour slow-cooked soup from Hue. You will continue your immersion in mouth-watering food as you head to the alleys of food in the heart of the street food district. You will sample a tasty “Bo La Lot”, which is pan-grilled beef wrapped in betel leaves. It is cooked by a local chef with over 17 years of experience.
Next up on your food adventure is Banh Mi, which is Saigon Baguette. You will experience the perfect fusion of 4 delicious flavors just after the first bite. You will walk into the heart of District 3 and discover the old apartments called Nguyen Thien Thuat. This area is home to dozens of famous Vietnamese street food that will tempt your stomach. On the corner of Seafood alley, you will sit like the locals and munch on Vietnamese pizza, which is the best in town. You will have local drinks with Saigon special beer, sugar cane juice, or mineral water. To cap off your Saigon street food walking tour, you will enjoy an amazing dessert at the night flower market. You can choose Vietnamese sweet soup (chè) or flan cake with caramel and coffee. Your local guide will take a taxi to take you back to your accommodation.
Ho Thi Ky is the largest flower market in Ho Chi Minh City, supplies flowers to the city and some provinces in the South of Vietnam. Founded in the 1980s, this is a rare place that upholds the characteristic of the old Saigon.

Highly recommend this tour. Our guide Kelly was a joy. Passionate about her country, its culture and food, she had us exploring Districts 3 and 10. Forget the Michelin recommendations and go enjoy the authentic street food of Ho Cho Minh City.
Guides Kelly and Will were fantastic, funny, friendly and professional. Sampled 10 different dishes, visited places we would never have gone on our own and got a real insight into everyday Vietnamese life. Highly recommended.
Great food, all from areas the locals eat. Brian our guide was great, so much fun and told us lots of interesting things. We were so full we didn't need to eat an evening meal that night.
Absolutely loved this tour and couldn’t have had a better guide than the fantastic Kelly! She is THE BEST! So much food, so much culture. Lovely to eat with local people and enjoy authentic food. Kelly goes above and beyond with advice and tips as well as answering any questions you might have. She grew up in the area and is passionate about her city. She also gave us some excellent suggestions on where to try different coffees etc in the city. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone and ask for Kelly if you can 😊
We weren’t at all confident with being part of the crazy traffic after our first day in the Minh but riding with our hosts Mei and Phu was a breeze. It is an experience I would recommend to anyone able bodied. We enjoyed lots of different foods in a variety of locations and even got the chance to cook some of it! I have now ridden in taxis and buses too but the back of the scooter was the best for taking in the sights and sounds. Highly enjoyable and Mei is a delight to communicate with.
Such a wonderful and unforgettable trip with Phuc. Phuc showed me around the local market and historical old apartment building which will never found it by myself. Nice trip and i never forget it. Thanks so much !!!
I did this tour on the back of a bike with my guide Justin. I had a fantastic time. He took me to a few non-touristy street food places and I even had a chance to try to make some Vietnamese street food by myself. Great food and an incredible way to explore Ho Chi Minh City. His driving was also very safe. I'd recommend this tour to anyone who wants to sample the food in HCM City and explore this city lifestyle (which everyone should).
Thank you for your kind words! Justin enjoyed the time with you too. It was our pleasure to experience our beautiful city with you on our Street food tour. We were happy to be your friend and bring you to hidden places and try the best foods in town. Hope to see you again soon to do another must do tour of us in this amazing city.

It was a pleasure to take part at the Tour. Especially the guides, Justin and his friend gave everything they got to make us a comfortable, interesting and unforgettable tour through the crowded streets of HCMC. One of the best things were, one guide for one person. You do the tour by riding a motorbike which is actual a big adventure. We want to thank them for all the information about Vietnam and the food and we wish them all the best. Thank you guys and maybe we will meet each other again. Alex & Paula
Justin has been a tour guide for 5 years - went on a privte food tour with him and my mom on a friends recommendation and really enjoyed it! It’s a 4 hour trip with so many food stops along the way. Justin brought us to the most local places and we have managed to try Vietnamese snacks that I haven’t ever tried before! Absolutely love the banh cuon would have that every day if I can! The banh mi is also nothing I have tried before - local ones are definitely different! Justin also brought us to the old apartments where American soldiers lived. Super friendly, good English, and good value for money too. Guys this is the street food walk to go to! Thank you Justin for a lovely time and hope to have another tour with you when we are back next!
It is our pleasure to have you as our guest. Thank you very much for your good review on this tour, with our tour guide, Justin. He was very happy to hear you enjoyed it. We loved all your beautiful words and it very helpful to improve our service in the future. Our tour guide enjoyed having the opportunity to meet and share our cuisine to you. We hope you had a lot of interesting stories about “ Vietnam’s cuisine” to tell your friends and family! If I can help anything for you, please don't hesitate to contact me.
