Exceeded our expectations
We booked this tour because we wanted to taste the flavors of Ho Chi Minh City and we got so much more. We were able to arrange a pick-up at our cruise terminal and our guide, Leah, took advantage of the time to tell us so much about the area and history of HCM. Once we reached the market area, Leah took us from place to place, explaining about the food and all the sights we were seeing. At our request, we combined the food tour with a general tour so we were able to see the top spots of the city before delving into the market. Even with the numerous closures due to the New Year celebrations, we were treated to Pho, Vietnamese pancakes, spring rolls, crab in a clay pot, a Vietnamese flan dessert, and coffee.Everything was delicious! Leah kept us learning the whole time and our conversation never wavered.She helped us shop in the market and get good prices on a few things to take home. The pictures she took and shared are amazing and the memories will last a lifetime. I can't express enough what a wonderful day this was and what a wonderful person Leah is. Thank you!

Simply amazing!
This night food tour was splendid! This is an experience one should not miss. The food were authentic and unpretentious yet delicious! Loved the Vietnamese pancake/crepe. Leah, my guide, was great, informative and fun to be with! Highly recommended and will definitely book another tour if I'm back at HCMC.

Great food and great people!
This was a great tour! With only 2 days in Ho Chi Minh we wanted to eat and see as much as possible in a short time, and this was a great add in to our trip! The food was great and explained in great detail by our guides Swang and Quan. We were also told cool facts as we drive between the different restaurants both about the food and the city. So above and beyond my expectations. And the cherry on top was the donation a part of the fee went towards helping local children or people. Such a great idea! I will definitely do this tour again if I come back!

Fab Foodie Tour
This night food tour on the back of a motorbike is excellent! There were four in our group and we had the best time. We're all big people so were a bit worried how the 40kg riders would cope, but wow - they were fantastic. They drove us around Saigon during the night time traffic like pros - I felt completely safe and comfortable the whole time. The food was amazing. Our first stop was a local eatery specialising in pork sausage and spring roll noodles. They were hot, delicious and plentiful. To pace myself, I only ate a small portion. My husband and friends got carried away and almost finished their bowls, which they totally regretted. Next we tried rice rolls - like I've never eaten before. These were my favourites - I won't say too much, as I don't want to spoil the element of surprise. We then rode on to a Vietnamese crepe place - wow. They came with fresh greens and sauces - we even got to try our hand at making them. They matched beautifully with the local beer. Finally, we tried a selection of Vietnamese deserts - they were a mix of jelly and coconut creams and juices - we loved them. At the end of the tour our drivers delivered us safe and sound back to our hotel. Although we were full to bursting, we were all sad it was over - the tine flew by. A great bunch of young guides, and a very exciting and flavour-filled night on the town! Well worth the price.

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Food Tour of Ho Chi Minh City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Food Tour of Ho Chi Minh City cost?
+
Prices start at $73 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 Food Tour of Ho Chi Minh City take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Food Tour of Ho Chi Minh City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Food Tour of Ho Chi Minh City?
+
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 Food Tour of Ho Chi Minh City suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Food Tour of Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Around 2 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Food Tour of Ho Chi Minh City 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.
