Ride a motorbike, sample a variety of local foods, and explore Ho Chi Minh’s history and culture.
This tour was led by the friendly and energetic local guides Ben and Kevin. At first, riding a motorbike on the crowded streets of Ho Chi Minh City made me a little nervous, but thanks to wearing the helmet securely and riding calmly, I quickly got the hang of it and was able to enjoy the cityscape in the cool breeze. Instead of the famous restaurants crowded with tourists, we were able to experience up close and firsthand the gem-like hidden spots tucked away in the alleys and the lively daily lives of local residents that we would never have visited on our own. Ben and Kevin explained Vietnamese culture and hidden stories wherever we passed, making even the time spent traveling very rewarding. You can enjoy a wide variety, from fragrant freshly pho, to crispy on the outside and soft on the inside banh mi, and even sweet, nutty coconut desserts! Ben and Kevin also shared tips on how to enjoy each dish deliciously, so we were able to truly experience the authentic flavors of Vietnam.If you want a special and vivid local experience during your trip, we highly recommend the Ho Chi Minh Motorbike Food Tour! Thanks to Ben and Kevin, we spent a happy night in Saigon that we will never forget.
Response from the operator: Dear Son Ghe Ho, Thank you so much for such a wonderful and detailed review! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed exploring Saigon with Ben and Kevin, especially the hidden local spots and food. It means a lot to know you felt safe, had fun, and enjoyed the experience. Hope to see you again in Saigon someday! Best regards, Saigon Taste Tours Team!

Great food tour around Ho Chi Minh
We had an amazing experience with Grey and Han as our tour guides. The booking process was easy and fast through Whatsapp and they accommodated our needs, as we had already been travelling through Vietnam an had already tastes some dishes. They proposed other dishes to do in the tour and they were all absolutely delicious. Our guides picked us up from the hotel, and drove us very safely around Ho Chi Minh in the hunt for tasty local food. Their energy was amazing and their English is very fluent, so it was very nice and easy to learn more about local life with them. We recommend it 100% to find local tastes and explore this vibrant city during the tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re really happy to hear you had such a great experience with Grey and Han. They’ll be glad to know you enjoyed the customized food stops, local stories, and the overall experience. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to see you again in Saigon someday! Best regards, Saigon Taste Tours Team!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Premium Saigon Michelin Food Experience by Insider Scooter: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Premium Saigon Michelin Food Experience by Insider Scooter cost?
+
Prices start at $45 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 Premium Saigon Michelin Food Experience by Insider Scooter 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 Premium Saigon Michelin Food Experience by Insider Scooter worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 125 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 Premium Saigon Michelin Food Experience by Insider Scooter?
+
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 Premium Saigon Michelin Food Experience by Insider Scooter 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 Premium Saigon Michelin Food Experience by Insider Scooter?
+
Around 44 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 Premium Saigon Michelin Food Experience by Insider Scooter 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 Premium Saigon Michelin Food Experience by Insider Scooter?
+
Included: Private transportation; All 11 food tastings, 3 drinks, and 1 dessert. Beverage: sugar cane juice mixed with kumqu; Private Scooters; Equipment: Hand sanitizer Rain poncho. Helmets Scooters; and Drivers. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Premium Saigon Michelin Food Experience by Insider Scooter include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 892 listed pickup locations in and around Ho Chi Minh City. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Premium Saigon Michelin Food Experience by Insider Scooter offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Premium Saigon Michelin Food Experience by Insider Scooter?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Premium Saigon Michelin Food Experience by Insider Scooter wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
