Description
Join us for a unique Saigon evening street food adventure, where we'll take you on a culinary journey off the beaten path to discover authentic local flavors. Unlike typical food tours, we'll skip the commonly known dishes like Pho, Spring Rolls, and Banh Mi Sandwiches, and instead introduce you to hidden gems that locals love. Get picked up at your hotel address and hop on our scooter to join a 4-hour Saigon evening street food guided by locals. On this evening food menu, you will taste your way through cuisine from North Vietnam, Hue, and South.
