Join this tour to spend three hours eating like a local! We all know Vietnam legendary when it comes to street food, and if you want to make the most of your time, you’ll want to head out with a local to pick out the best of the best of Saigon’s street food.

Your food tour starts with some authentic local appetizers such as chao muc (a dry squid porridge) and xa xui (Cantonese barbecued pork). Then, you'll make your way to the corner of Nguyen Cong Tru and Calmette for a unique street food called banh bo banh tieu. This spot is also a good place to learn about Calmette and Yersin, the two disciples of Pasteur who greatly contributed to the health system in Vietnam. Next, you'll enjoy coffee at a popular local gem. Then, get ready for another of the city’s iconic street food dishes: bo cuon mo chai (barbecued beef meatballs) and fried rice flour cake with egg. You'll cap off your food tour with a refreshing street beer with peanuts and rice crackers. Taste some deep-fried tofu with lemongrass or salted egg yolk with green chili.

To take your experience to the next level you can choose to have a private guide, just for you and your group! Simply select the option you prefer at checkout.
