With Vietnam Vibes’ Walking Food Tour, you don’t just eat like a local—you live like one. 10 Signature Dishes – 1 Unforgettable Journey: Start with 4 royal Hue cakes once served in the imperial court: bánh bèo, bánh nậm, bánh bột lọc, bánh ram ít.

Taste street food staples: bánh tráng nướng (Vietnamese pizza), crispy bánh phồng, bánh xèo with a Mekong twist. Then savor smoky bò lá lốt, sip on local beer, and end with coconut caramel flan made from a secret family recipe. Explore Hidden Saigon: Walk through the city’s oldest apartment complex, a bustling wholesale flower market, and Cholon (Chinatown). No tourist traps, no hidden fees.

Meeting & Pickup

Pickup Details
Pick up in District 1, 3 and 4 and drop off back your hotel. If it is not in the central, just let me know, it needs a bit extra for transportation. The tour would be the combination between car/taxi and take short walks through place to place.

Cancellation Policy

Cancel your booking at least 24 hours before the experience start time to receive a full refund minus a 3.2% transaction fee.
