Ho Chi Minh City Sightseeing & Local Street Food Tasting Experience
Discover the vibrant soul of Ho Chi Minh City through its iconic landmarks, lively neighborhoods, authentic street food culture on this evening sightseeing and tasting experience. This tour combines city highlights with carefully selected local food stops, offering you a deeper understanding of Saigon’s daily life, flavors, stories.
Unlike typical food tours, this experience focuses on tasting a variety of local street dishes without getting full too quickly. We intentionally order smaller portions but more dishes at each stop, allowing you to try a wider range of flavors and specialties just like locals do.
Due to the nature of local street food vendors, invoices for tax purposes cannot be provided, so food is not included in the tour price. However, food prices are clearly published, affordable, transparent. At the beginning of the tour, a cash tip of 350,000 VND per person is collected as part of the tour policy.

Last minute bookings do not happen!

1.00Highly unprofessional, wasted 2 hours of my very limited time in the city waiting until they refunded me without notice. They had the availability and accepted my booking, confirmed that the driver will arrive 1 hour late and then proceeded with refunding me without notice. I came to Ho Chi Minh City for only 11 hours just to get a street food tour and this unfortunate situation happened. For those reserving last minute like I did be CAUTIOUS. 1/10 very dissapointed
Amazing street food tour in Ho Chi Minh City! 🌟

5.00We’re a young couple and had Paul as our tour guide, with Anh as one of our drivers. Our tour was informative, interesting, and truly lovely. As a couple who love food, we really appreciated that Paul made sure to take us to some fantastic local spots. Through the tour, we got a wonderful glimpse into Vietnamese culture, and Paul shared everything in such an engaging way. He made us feel comfortable the whole time and went out of his way to ensure we had an amazing experience. We highly recommend Paul.
A Wonderful Experience in Ho Chi Minh City with Vinh and Vy

5.00My friend and I visited Ho Chi Minh City and decided to book a local guide service to take us around and introduce us to local food. We chose the option that did not include food because neither of us eats beef, so it was easier for us to choose our own dishes and have more privacy. We were guided by two people, Vinh and Vy. They took us to many different places and recommended lots of delicious food. They also showed us how to eat each dish and introduced us to different kinds of vegetables we had never seen before. On top of that, the food prices were more than 50% cheaper than what we found ourselves in District 1. Both of them drove very safely, so we never felt scared. They were also very friendly, talkative, and fun the entire time, always smiling and taking good care of us. We both feel that if we come back again, we will definitely choose this service once more.
A great approach to the city with a very nice guide

5.00Having little time to devote, I booked this night tour at 8pm. My young guide speaks very good English, it allowed to exchange on all subjects. She knows the city as her pocket and took me to streets typical of real life Vietnamese. I enjoyed all the dishes she made me taste. Despite the traffic she drove very carefully and I always felt safe. I highly recommend for its kindness and efficiency.
So much fun!

5.00This was just fantastic. Kieren and Sunny were awesome. They knew their stuff. Took us to places that we never would have gone. By the end of it I could not have fitted another mouthful in. This was authentic Vietnam and with some great young authentic Vietnamese people. Cannot recommend enough. Please give them a go. You won’t be disappointed.

An unforgettable tour with friendly local guides

5.00We went on the motorbike tour with our guides Diny and Jenny. It was an unforgettable experience where we saw a lot of landmarks in Ho Chi Minh City, and Diny told us about the history and culture. I was nervous about travelling by bike at first but Diny put me at ease straight away with her caring nature and skillful driving, and it was a lot of fun. Going by bike also meant we could see a lot of different areas such as China Town and the flower markets, as well as the more central sites. The tour also included a trip on the water taxi and a visit to the War Remnant Museum. It was really great to experience it all with a local guide, and I feel like I learned a lot about Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnamese history. Thank you! ♥️
