Full description

This is a 4-hour experience in Ho Chi Minh City. It is run by VIETNAM STREET FOODS TOUR, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

A private day with a driver-guide is the way to see the most of a Japanese city or region in one day, because it removes the transfers between sights that eat a third of the day on public transport. Prices are usually per vehicle for up to a set number of guests rather than per person, and cover the car, fuel, tolls and the guide; entrance fees and lunch are paid as you go unless the listing says otherwise. Japanese guides are licensed for the work and typically punctual to the minute. Give the operator your priorities, and expect them to reorder the day around opening hours and crowds; that is what you are paying for.

The price covers 4 hour tour on a motorbike, High-quality open-faced helmet and raincoat, 2 kinds of drink and 1 meal, Accident insurance and Private friendly English speaking tour guide. It does not cover Personal expenses and Tips, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Ho Chi Minh City. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with VIETNAM STREET FOODS TOUR before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

I travel a lot and this was honestly one of the best tours I have ever had in my life. Lyn is an excellent guide, very generous, knowledgeable and kind. She navigated expertly and safely through the streets, alleyways and markets, and took me places I would not have ever reached alone. I am very grateful. You should definitely book this tour, and ask for Lyn if you can!

The tour I went on with Lyn was out of this world. It was the most amazing time, so calm and relaxing and the most perfect way to see this beautiful city. The food and coffee were really enjoyable and felt really authentic. I would go on this tour again and again thanks to Lyn!

We joined the tour with two little kids and the experience was just amazing for all of us. The drivers made sure we navigated through traffic safely, the different stops were exciting, gave us so many amazing photo opportunities and we were able to do everything at our own pace. The guides were super friendly, especially with the kids and shared a lot of valuable insights. We definitely recommend this tour if you want to get a different view on this bustling city besides walking around as a tourist 😉

It was great, Moon was so lovely! My tour guide Moon took me to a couple places around Ho Chi Minh City and then we went to a village 50 minutes outside the city, where we went to a temple with a stunning garden and had some local food. I definitely recommend booking, it's a great way to both experience local life and learn history.

We had a great tour exploring the city! Lucie and Anna Phan were absolutely wonderful – both are excellent drivers and made us feel very safe throughout the journey. They showed us all the main sights as well as hidden gems that even locals might miss. Their knowledge, friendliness, and great company made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a unique and insightful look at the city!

I had an amazing experience on this food tour and city mototour in Ho Chi Minh City. My guide Kris was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel personal and fun. She explained everything so clearly from the history of the city to the background of each dish we tried and was always happy to answer questions.
