Eye opening experience into Saigons rich street food culture
We had an awesome time on this food tour. I couldn’t recommend this highly enough to someone visiting Saigon. We discovered great food that we couldn’t have by ourselves. Everything we ate was phenomenal. The experience was extremely good value for money. Victor and Ben are fantastic tour guides, really cool guys with lots of knowledge to share and a great sense of humour. They even gave us further suggestions as to places to visit based on what Vietnamese foods we expressed interest in. I hope to see them again in the near future!

fantastic tour with Anna
Anna did an incredible job showing me the best parts of Ho Chi Minh City. She shared fascinating stories about Vietnam’s history and daily local life. She gave great tips for food and shopping, took nice photos for me, and was always thoughtful and helpful.

Excellent Street Food Tour
The food tour was phenomenal and informative! Loved that we got to try real local food away from District 1, all the food we had were dishes I never heard of before. The food was all delicious and the right portions; we left very, very full. Victor and Ben were amazing guides who were great at telling us details and backgrounds of the foods and were great at answering all the questions we had for them. They were patient and good about engaging with us when we wanted to stop by and ask random questions about the street food or the markets. Would 100% recommend a tour with them!

Delicious food and local culture
I had a fantastic time on Sophia’s bike food tour. I felt completely safe on the bike the entire time. There was a big variety of local specialties to try, and everything was delicious. Sophia is incredibly informative. It was very interesting to hear her stories and learn about the local culture.

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Committed Non-Touristy Saigon Street Food Tour By Scooters/Car: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Committed Non-Touristy Saigon Street Food Tour By Scooters/Car cost?
+
Prices start at $29 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ho Chi Minh City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Committed Non-Touristy Saigon Street Food Tour By Scooters/Car take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ho Chi Minh City is not rushed.
Is Committed Non-Touristy Saigon Street Food Tour By Scooters/Car worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 75 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Committed Non-Touristy Saigon Street Food Tour By Scooters/Car?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Committed Non-Touristy Saigon Street Food Tour By Scooters/Car suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Committed Non-Touristy Saigon Street Food Tour By Scooters/Car?
+
Around 26 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ho Chi Minh City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ho Chi Minh City and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Committed Non-Touristy Saigon Street Food Tour By Scooters/Car start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ho Chi Minh City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ho Chi Minh City?
+
On Outty we rank every Ho Chi Minh City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cai Be Mekong Delta Tour: Cooking Class, Cycling & Craft Villages, Adventure Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From HCM, Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta 1 Day Tour With Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Committed Non-Touristy Saigon Street Food Tour By Scooters/Car?
+
Included: Snacks; and Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Committed Non-Touristy Saigon Street Food Tour By Scooters/Car include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Ho Chi Minh City. Be ready about 180 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Committed Non-Touristy Saigon Street Food Tour By Scooters/Car offered in?
+
