Full description

This is a 3-hour experience in Ho Chi Minh City. It is run by SAIGON ADVENTURE COMPANY LIMITED, 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, Food hygiene and safety confirmed, Drink at each food place and beer at the last stop, We happily cater to vegetarians! Just leave a note when you and Visit to flower market. It does not cover Hotel transfer, 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.

We loved our food tour with Francis! His information on the food and the areas we traveled through was top notch. We especially appreciated his accommodations for our 9 year old that didn’t like particular things (like bean sprouts or spicy). The banana sticky rice was my favorite!! Absolutely incredible! Loved this tour and our time with Francis!

It was great and there was so much food! We did the 12 tasting walking tour but we probably could’ve done only 7. We were so full so come hungry. All the vendors were nice and welcoming. Our guide Tân was awesome. I can tell he really enjoys his job. He went above and beyond and even assisted my cousin buying some things with the language barrier. 10/10 would recommend.

We had an amazing evening with our guide Kim. We tried so many foods/dishes I couldn’t keep up. The food was delicious and we left feeling full and happy. Kim had a great sense of humour and was full of interesting information and knowledge. Couldn’t recommend more highly!

Would recommend this tour to anyone! Our guide Antoni was FANTASTIC - so knowledgeable and accommodating to our (super annoying) dietary requirements. Part culinary tour, part cultural experience, anyone wanting to scratch below the tourism surface should give this a go.

Everything was great. Kristen is a talented and funny guide, he not just showed us delicious, traditional foods, but told us a lot about Vietnam, Vietnamese people and HMC. The tour truly worth its price, we can recommend it.

Leon was a great guide and super informative! We've never done a tour like this and we're glad we did it -- learned a lot and had some new dishes we hadn't tried before.

Francis was an awesome tour guide! He was friendly and very enthusiastic about sharing a variety of amazing food (12 different tastings on our particular tour with Adventure Saigon), as well as knowledge of his home country, with us. He spoke excellent English and we enjoyed sharing stories and chatting during our afternoon together. Francis was always thanking us even though he was the one getting us things. :) We also appreciated the included taxi ride back to our hotel as we were almost too full to walk back! We and our tummies had a fantastic time and would recommend a food tour with Franc

Our tour with Kai was one of the highlights of our trip to Vietnam. We visited areas of Saigon that we would have found on our own and all the food was super tasty and we finished leaving very full! Kai is a first class guide and we would definitely recommend him.

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.
