Le Van Tam Park

First stop: We will visit a coconut juice stall to enjoy a refreshing coconut juice infused with pineapple or tangy kumquat jam as we get to know the other guests and tour guides.

Then we head to the 2nd stop to try papaya salad, originally offered in our tour since 2018. It includes long strands of thinly cut green papaya, roasted peanuts, black beef jerky, a wonderful addition of sliced Vietnamese coriander, and finally a handful of extra crispy fritters and fried shrimp crackers on the very top. *fresh, yummy, and must-try

Vo Van Tan street

Now we’re heading to the heart of District 3. For the third stop, we’ll try grilled bananas wrapped in their leaves and served with sweet and salty silky coconut milk, a creation honed over 20 years by our vendor.
*sometimes, the owner doesn’t allow many bikes at the same time due to traffic, so we may buy it and bring it to the 4th stop

Ban Co Market

Nothing beats Saigon Bo Kho (our 4sth stop): Southern-style beef stew with glass noodles, slow-cooked with whole shallots (naturally sweet), carrots, and herbs in a rich, flavorful broth *loved by Mark Wiens (exclusively offered on this tour)

Ho Thi Ky market

Ho Thi Ky is the largest wholesale flower market, located in District 10, Ho Chi Minh City, supplying flowers to the city and some provinces in the south of Vietnam.

At this market, we will try Khmer-style grilled beef, Vietnamese pizza, and Saigon beer. We learn how to cheer like a Vietnamese

Also, would you ever guess which Bánh Mì locals eat every day? Yes, we will show you the authentic one (not Huynh Hoa or any expensive version) after visiting this market.

Chinatown

As we mentioned, there will be a lot of food to come on this tour, so we hope you still have some room for Bánh Xèo in Chinatown, which is 3 km away from Ho Thi Ky Market (District 10).
Bánh Xèo is a savory Vietnamese crepe, bright yellow and crispy, filled with shrimp, pork, and vegetables, and served with sweet chili sauce and pickled sweet sauce for dipping.

Afterward, we will visit an old apartment in District 10 for Chè, a traditional Vietnamese sweet soup, or creamy flan.

Drop off

Back to hotel: We will drop you off at your hotel (the same as the pickup address), or you can choose a meeting point at bars or pubs located in Districts 1, 3, and 4. We can also provide you with a list of food and addresses upon request after the tour.

My 16 year old son and I had a blast with our guides Mac and Alex! They were super knowledgeable about the food and the city, and kept us entertained the whole time (we were lucky enough that it ended up being a private tour). Highly recommended for everyone traveling to Ho Chi Minh City!

Mac, Linh, and Andy were AMAZING and so full of life!!!!!! They kept us engaged & full of good energy, informed and comfortable throughout the entire tour! My wife and I truly enjoyed learning about Vietnamese culture through the food and history, as well as seeing the different districts throughout the city. We truly appreciate their time and dedication they put into making us feel welcome, loved and definitely fed. Highly recommended for everyone. I recommend not eating before you go on this tour because you will not be disappointed! 1000/10 DEFINITELY RECOMMEND 🏆🔥 -Manny & KC

Wow we had such a great time with Bao and Huyen. The food was incredible and varied. I am vegetarian but it didn’t change anything about the quality of food or the overall experience. It was incredible. We loved going to each side on the motorbike and felt safe. Our guides were the real highlight though we got to ask so many questions and never stopped talking with them the hours flew. I cannot recommend enough!
