Overview

  • Guided 50,000+ travellers since 2019, this tour partners 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.

    Hundreds of options out there. WHY US?

    This tour is just $29, including 8 varieties of dishes, 1 beer, 1 dessert, and hotel pickup. We focus on the quality of the food -our Vietnamese beef stew is even better than the Michelin one, but at a third of the price! *select Check availability to see our menu for each option.

Le Van Tam Park

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
First stop: We will visit a coconut juice stall to enjoy a refreshing coconut juice infused with pineapple or tangy kumquat jam as we get to know the other guests and tour guides. Then we head to the 2nd stop to try papaya salad, originally offered in our tour since 2018. It includes long strands of thinly cut green papaya, roasted peanuts, black beef jerky, a wonderful addition of sliced Vietnamese coriander, and finally a handful of extra crispy fritters and fried shrimp crackers on the very top. *fresh, yummy, and must-try

Nguyen Thien Thuat Apartment Buildings

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Now we’re heading to the heart of District 3. For the third stop, we’ll try grilled bananas wrapped in their leaves and served with sweet and salty silky coconut milk, a creation honed over 20 years by our vendor. *sometimes, the owner doesn't allow many bikes at the same time due to traffic, so we may buy it and bring it to the 4th stop

Ban Co Market

  • 35m
  • Admission ticket included
Nothing beats Saigon Bo Kho (our 4sth stop): Southern-style 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)

Ho Thi Ky Flower Market

At this market, we will try Khmer-style grilled beef, Vietnamese pizza, and Saigon beer. We learn how to cheer like a Vietnamese Also, would you ever guess which Bánh Mì locals eat every day? Yes, we will show you the authentic one (not Huynh Hoa or any expensive version) after visiting this market.

Chinatown (Cho Lon) - District 5

  • 45m
  • Admission ticket included
As we mentioned, there will be a lot of food to come on this tour, so we hope you still have some room for Bánh Xèo in Chinatown, which is 3 km away from Ho Thi Ky Market (District 10). Bánh Xèo is a savoury Vietnamese crepe, bright yellow and crispy, filled with shrimp, pork, and vegetables, and served with sweet chilli sauce and pickled sweet sauce for dipping.
