Saigon Evening Walking Street Food Tour
Description
For most first-time guests, the haste of Ho Chi Minh City can be a overwhelming prospect. In the event that there’s one thing to be experienced on the roads of Ho Chi Minh City, it’s the nourishment. Leaded by a local guide, you’ll encounter six famous and true dishes, a few hailing straightforwardly from Vietnam’s southern locale for a genuine sense of Saigon. From bun thit nuong to banh xeo to kem dua, you’ll taste Anthony Bourdain’s favorite cuisine—direct from locals’ favorite home bases.

Itinerary
Your local street food tour guide, who is extremely passionate about Vietnamese street cuisine, will pick you up from your hotel by taxi before taking you on your culinary excursion to a non-tourist sector and our first stop will be at a famous local restaurant (over 30 years opening) in district 3 specializing in “Bánh Mì Thịt Nướng” (Southern Banh Mi Style with marinated beef).
You continue to immerse yourself in delectable cuisine as you make your way to the food alleys in the centre of the street food district, where you can sample a tasty "Bún Bò" Lemongrass Beef Noodles Soup, prepared by a local chef with more than 25 years of experience. Next up on your food adventure is "Bánh Cuốn" - Steamed rice rolls. Inside each piece of rolls, the sweet aroma of the mixture of pork, chopped onions, Jicama, mushrooms, salt, fish sauce, and black pepper, all lightly stir-fried before steaming will tantalize the taste eaters’ buds. You will experience the perfect fusion of 4 delicious flavors just after the first bite.
Take a stroll down a street where "all kinds of street foods" are sold before going to a popular restaurant with the neighbourhood to taste "Bánh xèo" and “Bánh Khọt” (South and Central rice pancakes), one of the most popular and extremely traditional dishes in southern of Vietnam , and learn how they are made from a chef with over 20 years experience.
At the night flower market, round up your Saigon street food walking tour with a delicious dessert like coconut ice cream, or coconut ice cream blended with an avocado smoothie. Your local guide will ride in a cab with you so you may return to your lodging.

Great and informative experience. Food was excellent.
Nhu was an amazing guide. History, insights into life in Vietnam and of course the food. The food was amazing. So fresh and watching it being cooked in front of you. The coconut icecream at the end was sooo good. Could not have asked for a better experience. Would highly recommend this tour.

Nhu was a great and enthusiastic guide. The food portions were HUGE! This was like eating 4 meals! WHOA! The price was more than worth it. Also, these were true street food stalls with over 15 years experience, each one different. They all had little stools or steps for seating. My favorite was the pork banh mi - OMG - it was outstanding! There was no one else on my tour, so it was like a private tour. The meeting point was great. The communications on WhatsApp were great. The vibe was so cool. I loved it! And, my guide accompanied me back to my hotel with the taxi - what a perfect ending. It was about 3 hours long which was just right. And Nhu shared some interesting history about the food and Vietnam which made the tour more interesting. I totally loved this experience! I can’t wait to share all my photos! Just give me a day to catch up on that.

I had a great tour with Nhu, the food was fantastic, he was very knowledgable and it was so good to be in an authentic local area and get to see and learn more about Vietnam as well as the food. He arrived very promptly to pick me up at my hotel and we went via taxi to district 3 and started the tour with a bahn mi. Definitely plan to be hungry for the tour as there is a lot of food to try! Well worth it!

Binh was very engaging and helped showcase the depth and variety of Vietnamese street food. The tour was just the right length, and the dishes were delicious and filling. Make sure you begin with an empty stomach.

Absolutely brilliant tour with Tony. 10/10. His English is phenomenal, his knowledge of food amazing, and he navigated the back streets of District 3 to take us to places we would never have found by ourselves. He knows all the best locations, and seeing the street food markets at night is unforgettable. Do this tour!
