What To Expect

Ho Chi Minh City

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.

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.
Wonderful tour with my local guide.

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).
A lot of delicious food and friendly guides

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
Amazing street stall night tour with Justin - highly recommend!

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!
