Experience Details

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!
