Ho Chi Minh City

Our food adventure navigates Ho Chi Minh City’s District 3 to discover street food heroes who have been serving up hot suppers for generations. From crispy taro khoai môn chiên cakes, to Michelin-rated grilled beef wrapped in lolot leaves. We'll slurp on rich, flavourful bánh canh cua crab noodle soup, dunked with Chinese crullers, and savour fresh razor clams stir-fried with crunchy morning glory. For the adventurous, there's delicious babylon snails in salted egg sauce, and for the classics there's Ms. Hoa's home-made bò kho Vietnamese stew. With 15+ tastings and plenty of surprises in between, this is the ultimate Saigon food tour. We even serve up a side of history with an invite-only visit to a hidden weapons bunker from the war.

Amazing tour with Nhi

We loved our food tour with Nhi. It was far more than just a food journey, Nhi shared so much about the history and culture of Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam. We felt lucky to learn from her and eat such amazing dishes.

Tasty tour, highly recommended!

Saigon Stories Food Tour was excellent! David was a fantastic guide and provided the right mix of historical information and local anecdotes, all accompanied by delectable food. I think I can safely say I wouldn’t have discovered any of the places on our tour by myself, and loved walking between stops. Highly recommended!

An excellent street food tour trying the popular dishes of Saigon with the assurance that all places are quality checked

Hien was a great guide and took us around Saigon trying street food that we otherwise may have been too apprehensive to try. We loved how he interspersed food tastings with Vietnamese history and his own personal experiences which gave us time to digest and learn more about this wonderful city and country. Hien also provided us with great recommendations to try after the tour.
