The Best Street Food Motorbike Tour in Ho Chi Minh City by Saigon Vibes has earned more than 3,000 reviews on Airbnb, with an average rating of 4.98 out of 5. It has also been ranked the #1 Food Tour in Vietnam on Airbnb since 2022.
That many reviews, all from real guests after their trip, is rare for any tour anywhere. Airbnb doesn’t hand out this ranking based on opinion. It comes directly from travelers rating their experience after they’ve actually taken the tour.
So what’s the tour, and why do so many people love it?
Guests ride on the back of a motorbike with a local guide, weaving through small alleys and markets that most visitors would never find on their own. Over one evening, the tour stops at 10 different food and drink spots around Ho Chi Minh City. Highlights include papaya salad, a Southern-style Vietnamese beef stew, banh mi made the way locals actually eat it, and banh xeo in the Cholon (Chinatown) area. One stop features a secret family recipe for grilled lemongrass beef. The owner once turned down 200 million VND to sell it.
Reading through the reviews, one thing comes up again and again: the guides. One traveler who joined with two young kids said it was incredible value for money and that the kids absolutely loved it. Another guest wrote that the tour “made our trip a million times better,” saying the guides shared their love for Vietnam so openly that it made the whole group fall for the country too. Groups are kept small on purpose, so guides have time to slow down, answer questions, and explain the story behind each dish.
The tour is run by Hữu Phước, founder of Saigon Vibes, who has worked as a tour guide in Ho Chi Minh City for 9 years. It’s open to guests ages 2 and up, and food restrictions can be accommodated.
