Saigon soul on a Plate: A true taste of time!

5.00A Flavorful Journey Through the Heart of Saigon This walking food tour was an unforgettable experience that offered a deep dive into the culinary soul of Saigon. We tasted an incredible variety of local dishes—from the iconic bánh mì to savory bò bía, and a delightful dessert of banana wrapped in sticky rice, served with rich coconut milk. Each bite told a story. Our guide, Tri, was exceptional. His explanations of the food were insightful and engaging, and he sprinkled in fascinating historical anecdotes that brought the neighborhoods to life. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about sharing the city’s culinary treasures. Highly recommended to anyone looking to explore the vibrant flavors and culture of Saigon in a truly immersive way.

5.00The guide was very sweet and really took us in the very back streets. 1st we had some type of banana dessert. Was awesome! Then some rice rolls, didn’t like it as much, then some dry noodles: - the best ever, and he continued to give us tons of food, we couldn’t eat everything he had planned for us. Everything good! Great guide!
So much good food

5.00I had a wonderful time and enjoyed the tour and our guide, Wisky. He was very accommodating for my husband who is not as mobile as I am. All of the food choices were outstanding.

5.00A “must-do” experience if you want to discover a sliver of the complexity, vibrancy and depth of HCMC. Our guide, Daniel, was the perfect person to lead us on our street-food adventure; he provided us with insights and details of what it’s like to be a Saigoner while having us discover a wonderful variety of delicious treats from “safe” vendors across the raucous Districts 1, 3 and 5. It was a great day!

5.00Finn was the most passionate and informed tour guide we could possibly ask for. The selection of food on offer was delicious and diverse and not only did we leave with a greater appreciation of Vietnamese cuisine but also a deeper knowledge of this unique culture and history. What a wonderful experience that we wholeheartedly recommend.
Was a great food tour!...

5.00Was a great food tour! And Harry was a wonderful host, funny and engaging. Definitely an experience to be had! Went to a range of places in District 3 that you wouldn't get to by yourself.
