As the sun begins to set, meet your local guide and discover why Ho Chi Minh City is known for its dynamic food scene. Leave the main tourist areas behind and head into District 5, where eateries, street food stalls and neighbourhood gathering spots offer an insight into everyday life in the city.
Taste a selection of southern Vietnamese specialities while learning how generations of Chinese migration have influenced Ho Chi Minh City's culinary traditions. Along the way, you'll hear stories about local life and gain a better understanding of the customs behind some of the city's most popular dishes.
You'll also stop at a neighbourhood café to experience Vietnam's coffee culture before continuing with more local food tastings. Later, take a seat on a small plastic stool and enjoy a cold Saigon beer, a common way for locals to unwind after work.
The tour ends with a traditional Vietnamese dessert before your guide shares tips and recommendations to help you make the most of the rest of your time in Ho Chi Minh City.
