Description

Good to Know

Hop on the back of a motorbike for Saigon’s ultimate street food adventure! After a quick safety intro, we kick off in a bustling local park with Gỏi Đu Đủ Bò—a refreshing green papaya salad bursting with flavor. Next, head to a legendary 30-year-old vendor for Bún Thịt Nướng—grilled pork, crispy spring rolls, and noodles drenched in tangy fish sauce. Cruising hidden alleys, your guide weaves stories of culture and history before your taste buds meet Bánh Khọt—crispy coconut rice cakes topped with shrimp or pork. Seafood lovers will feast on a decadent spread: grilled shrimp, scallops with green onion & peanuts, finger snails sautéed in pork fat & butter, clams in lemongrass chili broth, and the showstopper—a whole crab simmered in sweet-sour tamarind sauce. We end at a cozy dessert spot with traditional Vietnamese sweet soup before a safe ride back to your hotel. This isn’t just a food tour—it’s Saigon’s street food scene like never before. Book now!

One of the best experiences of our trip

Just Book It !! We travelled through Vietnam and met some wonderful people and experienced some great places and food.

Probably up there with one of the best experiences of our trip !! Don't hesitate do it ! Such fun being driven around the city and the places we were taken were very local and the food was amazing! Thanks to the ladies who made our tour so br...read more

Safe, fun and irresistible food

What were we thinking, get on the back of a bike in Ho Chi Minh City? Turns out, one of the best nights we had on our 3 weeks around Vietnam. Hoa and Giang were outstanding drivers darting safely in and out of the traffic. Each destination had amazing food, we tried mussels, snails, jumping chicken (frogs legs), and rice paper rolls. It was sad when the night ended as we had an amazing time.

Loved it so much!

Unbelievable!!!!!! This was one of the best tours I’ve ever had. Scooting around Ho Chi Minh with the expert driving of Quyen while my partner drove around with Truc was next level. The food stops were delicious, Quyen and Truc were accommodating, friendly, kind and SO funny. I love how they take photos for you so I didn’t have to take out my phone and could just enjoy it fully. I can’t recommend this tour enough. You won’t want to miss this while in Ho Chi Minh. Thank you again Quyen and Truc f...read more

A must-do for first time visitors!

A must-do for a first time visit to HCMC/Saigon. We went for my friends bachelor's, and our group didn't really plan this trip. An acquaintance recommended back of the bike tours and so I booked a tour for the boys after watching on YouTube. While the price may seem steep for street food, you get so much more than that. Not only do you get free flow food and drinks (yes, including beer), you also get transportation taken care of as well as your own personal tour guide driving you around the ci...read more
