We're so happy to be a Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best winner for 2026 on Tripadvisor.
Since 2019, we have guided 50,000+ travellers and partnered with local chefs to offer high-quality, small-group tours that are fun, engaging, and—most importantly—uniquely true to Saigon and safe for all ages.
Why this tour is for you:
Saigon is famous for street food, but finding the best spots takes hours of research. We'll walk you straight to food stalls serving southern flavours, passed down for generations, sharing the stories and traditions that make Saigon what it is.
How this tour works
Before the tour:
Your guide will already have your hotel pickup address and dietary restrictions from your booking. If it is outside of Districts 1, 3, or 4, we will reach out via email to arrange a convenient meeting point at the Saigon Opera House.
The total walking distance is 2.7 km, featuring many food stalls along the way. It’s a relaxed, enjoyable walk suitable for everyone.
On the tour:
Your guide is always punctual and will arrive 5 minutes before the tour starts. You’ll be picked up by a complimentary Grab car directly from your hotel, Airbnb, or apartment. Below is the menu of food and drinks included:
- “Bánh Cuốn” - A delicate Vietnamese dish featuring thin, steamed rice rolls filled with seasoned ground pork, mushrooms, and aromatic herbs, typically served with a side of dipping sauce.
- ‘Chuối Nướng’ – A hidden Saigon culinary gem featuring grilled bananas wrapped in leaves and served with a silky, sweet-and-salty coconut milk sauce.
- “Bò kho” - Vietnamese beef stew with glass noodles, slow-cooked with whole shallots (naturally sweet), carrots, and herbs in a rich, flavourful broth loved by Mark Wiens (exclusively offered on this tour)
- “Bò nướng sả” - Khmer secret recipe for lemongrass grilled minced beef.
- Vietnamese pizza - A good combination of melted butter, cheese, egg and Vietnamese sausage
- Enjoy and drink Saigon beer
- “Bò lá lốt” - A popular Vietnamese dish consisting of seasoned ground beef wrapped in fragrant betel leaves
- ‘Bánh Mì’ – Vietnam’s best-known baguette, served in the traditional style with Vietnamese sausage, butter, and meat (the bánh mì locals actually eat).
- “Bánh Xèo” - Savoury Vietnamese crepe, bright yellow crispy crepe filled with shrimp, pork and vegetables
- “Chè Mâm”: Local Vietnamese sweet soup for dessert or creamy flan.
All local Vietnamese street food-stalls have Government Safe Food Certificate. Any food restrictions can be accommodated.
After the tour:
Your guide will send you the photos taken during the tour, a thank-you message, and a copy of the food list (upon request).
