Our private food tour
We thoroughly enjoyed our private food tour. Our guide Hanne was exceptional with her knowledge and enthusiasm. She spoke English very well and knew all the hidden local authentic places to experience traditional Vietnamese cuisine. We recommend you go on an empty stomach as there is so much food.

Fantastic experience. Our...
Fantastic experience. Our guides Leo and Hanaie were amazing. The food was very very good and explained well by the guides. I was nervous about the motorbike ride but found it fun and exhilarating. We felt very safe as they were experienced and careful drivers. We had a lovely evening and would do the tour again!!!

A great way to experience the city!
Such a fun experience! Mango and Leo were excellent guides and took us to some amazing local places with fabulous food! Riding around the city on scooters (they were very safe drivers!) was such a local experience. I highly recommend this tour!

Amazing Family Experience
Surpassed my expectations!! Amazing experience with my family. Wing, Hanne, Mango and Jonathan were high energy and engaging. We went to 4 delicious spots we would have never found on our own. My kids (10 & 8 yrs) had a blast and we really enjoyed it

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ho Chi Minh city: Michelin-Recognized Food Tour with Local Expert: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Ho Chi Minh city: Michelin-Recognized Food Tour with Local Expert 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 Ho Chi Minh city: Michelin-Recognized Food Tour with Local Expert 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 Ho Chi Minh city: Michelin-Recognized Food Tour with Local Expert worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 120 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 Ho Chi Minh city: Michelin-Recognized Food Tour with Local Expert?
+
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 Ho Chi Minh city: Michelin-Recognized Food Tour with Local Expert 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 Ho Chi Minh city: Michelin-Recognized Food Tour with Local Expert?
+
Around 42 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 Ho Chi Minh city: Michelin-Recognized Food Tour with Local Expert 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 Adventure Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From HCM, Cu Chi Tunnels Small-Group Tour: Vietnam War Underground Network, Cu Chi underground tour - Learn Vietnam war with others. 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.
