Full description
This is a experience in Ho Chi Minh City, built around 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.
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 Accident insurance, All foods and drinks, Private friendly speaking tour guides and If you request a vegetarian option. It does not cover Personal Expense, 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.

Our guide Anna and the other motorbike drivers were amazing. They rode carefully and took us to some amazing places for food. Anna gave us plenty of information on Vietnam life and spoke fluent English. I would highly recommend this tour to everybody ❤️
It was a great and super informational tour! Jack was so knowledgeable about the history of Vietnam and the food. There were so many tasty treats and it was perfect amount of food and he personally took us around we were the only people in the group so it was amazing. Definitely recommend it and thank you Jack for an amazing time!
Patrick and Pablo were just fantastic - Engaging and very knowledgeable . I think the small seats in the food market are just brilliant… Congrats guys, well done. Thank you 🙏
Tyrone was excellent! Despite the rain he was super enthusiastic and still tried to make the best of the situation. Super knowledgeable on the food and city!! Would recommend to anyone coming to Ho Chi Minh as a must!
We had a lot of fun during the tour with our guide Tyson. The food was delicious and we learned a lot. Absolutely recommend this tour :)
Tyrone is so good and a knowledgeable boy, friendly, informative. All the food was great. The flowers market is so lovely. Definitely 1000/10 for this tour
Beck was a wonderful guide. From the moment he picked us up from our hotel we were transported to the authentic back streets of Saigon and offered 12 very different and exciting culinary experiences. Beck was very knowledgeable about everything from food to football. I would thoroughly recommend as a great introduction to Vietnamese life and culture. Thank you.
As first time visitors to Vietnam Jack not only guided us around the street food options, he also gave us a very good insight into the history and culture of the country. His English was excellent and we had no problem understanding him and it was obvious he enjoys his job and was very keen to ensure we had a great start to our vacation, which we did. Thank you Jack.
Phoebe was an amazing guide. I was so impressed with how well she navigated the traffic, and educated me about the amazing food of Vietnam. I highly recommend this tour, and Phoebe as a guide.
Wonderful experience to be with the locals and eat like the locals. Peter was full of knowledge about Vietnam and Saigon. We kept on taking pictures and sending them to our family. They too enjoyed. Lots of fun
It was a wonderful tour, we had a lot of fun with our guide Red, he ist an very nice guy and showed us very interesting places and wonderful restaurants ...a must-have in Saigon... Many thanks to Red...
Exceptional experience. What I liked mostly was interacting with the tour guide. I am a hospitality professional and learned that the tour guide was pursuing the same career. Overall, a fun and eventful evening.
