Sa Ba Street Food Tours

Bypass the hotel breakfast and we'll take you to the downtown spots where locals kick start their day with mohinga or soft peas scooped up with freshly baked nan breads and spiced potato pastries. Strolling down historical streets we'll negotiate our way through two very different market places while dropping in at an old-school tea-shop to try locally grown tea and snacks. Take in all the sights and tastes as we tuck into all the must try local dishes surrounding Sule Pagoda, beautiful Bogalayzay St. and beyond. Get your day started the local way and explore the city's stunning neighborhoods brimming with local vendors and fuel yourself for the rest of your day's sightseeing.

2 hours • Admission Included

The Secretariat

This spectacular building has played host to some of the most epic moments in Myanmar's history. Once home to the British administrative system, then infamously the place where General Aung San and his Cabinet were assassinated. It has now become a cultural and historical epicenter of the city.

Just wrapped up an unforgettable food tour in Yangon — and wow, what an experience. From hidden teashops in quiet alleys to sizzling street-side mohinga, every stop was bursting with flavor, history, and heart. The guide didn’t just show us where to eat — he brought each dish to life with stories, context, and local charm. It wasn’t just about the food (which was incredible), it was about connecting with the city and its people. If you want to taste Yangon — its resilience, creativity, and culture — this tour is a must.
Best tour in Yangon !!

Highly recommend a tour with Sa Ba street food tours. I went during a trip visiting my wife’s family who lives in Yangon. It was a lot of fun going around with my son, who was visiting Myanmar for the first time. My favorite part of the tour was trying different preparations of teas and pastries. It was also nice to have some bits of the tour for both my wife and mother in law who know Yangon and my son and I who don’t.
Great experience, must-do!

The tour is a must-do when you visit Yangon! We visited a lot of local vendors and tried a lot of different food. Marc is a great tour guide. It was amazing! Even for those with a sensitive stomach, this tour did not give any issues afterwards ;)

Outstanding in every way. I intend to go back for the evening tour very soon. Yangon itself is beutiful and peaceful. Everyone we encountered walking the streets and markets greeted us with a smile. Marc, the guide, knows his food, history and culture. We went well over the time and he never showed any impatience. I'm sure I asked plenty of inappropriate questions, but he did his best with all of them. The food was fantastic. It was a great intro to Myanmar. I picked up a few words and I know some dishes that I like and even some places to get them. Interestingly, he is a food hygiene expert. He has taught many of the street vendors and he is alert to what may not be healthy for us sensitive westerners. The pace is great. The walk itself is easy and could be handled by almost anyone. I will be here for two more weeks and this was the perfect way to start to get oriented. If I was running an embassy or something like that, I would make this tour mandatory for new people.
Oh the Pastries!

This should be a requirement for all that visit Yangon. I can't believe I waited almost a year since arriving in this beautiful city to do this! This was so fantastic. Included amazing breakfast food, rich history lessons and a 101 class on traditional market shopping. I learned about all the vegetables I constantly see and didn't know what they were or how to cook them. Highlights: a 45 year old bakery and their coconut pastries, traditional Burmese tea and tea leaf salad at a tea house, coconut grinding for flour and cream in the wet market. Now we cant wait to do the evening tour. 10 stars! *We went with my 3 year old and she loved it as well and could easily keep up!
Yum!

Had the best morning with MiMi around the markets and local food joints of Yangon. She was a fantastic guide and seemed very happy to share her knowledge about food and Burmese life. The food was amazing, and catered for our food needs (shellfish allergy), and we really enjoyed eating and engaging with the local people of Yangon. Recommend to everyone, and definitely pace yourself - plenty of food!!
Thoroughly enjoyable morning

We had. great morning with Marc wandering round the narrow streets and back allleys of downtown Yangon and stopping at food stalls, tea shops, hole-in-the-wall restaurants and market stands. We ate so much good food! Pastries, sticky rice, mohinga, tea leaf salad, shan noodles, fresh coconut milk, sweet Myanmar tea. These are all really typical Myanmar foods, you see them on the streets all the time. But for most of us we never dare to try, or don’t know what it is we should be ordering. Marc rolls all these experiences into a great tour. He’s fun to be with, treats the shop and stall owners as friends, and knows a lot about the food and the culture. We even learnt about some of the buildings we were passing, and the history that’s taken place there It helps that Marc is a chef, has lived in Yangon a long while, and speaks the language. His colleagues are really skilled too, so either way you’ll pick up a lot of local knowledge. My advice: pace yourself! The food is so good and you just can’t eat it all!! I seriously recommend you do this tour!
Make the time!

Such a great way to experience more of the local cuisines in a totally relaxed but interesting and informative way. Be warned you’ll need to pace yourself food wise as it’s plentiful and all super delicious so tempting to eat too much too early! Really loved the opportunity to experience a more local insight and get to ask questions about way more than just food. Highly recommended
