About this tour

Over four hours, you'll stop at eight to twelve street stalls tucked into alleys and markets, tasting everything from Bun Bo Hue to barbecued scallops and sweet soups. Hotel pickup and drop-off included, plus bottled water and local beer to wash it all down.

What to expect
Expect to arrive hungry—you'll be eating continuously for four hours. Your guide will collect you from your hotel and take you on the back of a motorbike through Saigon's quieter streets and laneways. Each stop is brief: you'll pull up, order, eat standing or perched on a plastic stool, then move on. The pace is fast but unhurried; guides encourage you to linger and chat with vendors and other diners. You'll encounter proper neighbourhood food, not sanitised tourist versions. Beer and water are provided to cleanse your palate between stops.
