Full description

This is a 3-hour experience from Ho Chi Minh City, built around Local bakery. It is run by VIVA VIETNAM, 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.

Japanese food tours work because the best places are small, unmarked and full of regulars, and a guide who orders for you opens them. An izakaya crawl covers yakitori, sashimi, karaage and the local pours of sake, shochu and highballs across three or four counters in an evening; a ramen walk explains the broths, tonkotsu, shoyu, miso and shio, and the regional styles. Most places seat eight to twelve and tours run six to eight guests for that reason. Vegetarians should say so when booking, because dashi stock is fish and hidden in almost everything; halal-certified options exist but are fewer.

The price covers 3-5 Michelin-selected dishes, local food guide, Walking route through authentic neighborhoods and Cultural insights & food history. It does not cover Hotel pickup & drop-off, Additional food & drinks not mentioned, Personal expense and Private tour upgrade, 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.

Nhà hát Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with VIVA VIETNAM before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

I had a great time on this tour. My tour guide Vy spoke very good English and was very enthusiastic about the food we tried. We visited three restaurants and a street food stand. The restaurants we visited had delicious food and the dessert was scrumptious. I’m glad I had not eaten for most of the day because there was so much good food by the end of the tour I could not have eaten another bite. I would definitely recommend this tour for food lovers.

Yes, if you say so at booking. Fish sauce is in most dishes, so vegetarian, vegan and shellfish allergies need naming specifically; the guide swaps stalls and dishes. 'Khong cay' means not spicy. Street stalls with a queue and fast turnover are the safest, which is exactly where a good guide takes you.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
