Best activity in Saigon!
This was our favorite activity in Saigon! Our drivers were excellent and really gave us insight into life in Vietnam. The food was excellent and safe to eat. The motorbike riding was exhilarating! The owner was very flexible and modified the tour to fit our schedule.

A great night in Saigon!
My wife and I had an invigorating experience with Long and his friend V. We safely rode the streets of Ho Chi Minh City on their bikes enjoying the night views on our way to where local people eat, share and enjoy life! What a special way to learn about the culture and the people by eating their favorites right where they eat! Each one of the 6 dishes were delicious, clean and quite fun to share together. Afterwards we walked the night market and my wife said this was better than the night market in Taipei! By the way… she is from Taipei…

Amazing experience and highly recommended!
My tour guide was Khải who was very knowledgeable on the foods and history of the area. Khải was well spoken and I always felt safe with his riding through the crazy traffic. Food was great. I got to visit a lot of places I wouldn't have found on my own. And I was very full by the end of the tour. I highly recommend this tour and tour guide to my family and friends.

Unforgettable Food Tour with Long
Our guides name was Long & even after me messing up our booking he was so very helpful. We enjoyed this tour with Long, he was extremely pleasant & very knowledgeable. We made him laugh with our Aussie ways. I was hesitant about trying street food in Vietnam but everything was delicious & we had no ill effects afterwards. Even drank peach tea with ice cubes. I would definately recommend this tour to give you an idea about their local food & some of their traditions. We had a great time!!

Why this scores 85
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Street Food Tour by Motorbike/Car with Local Students: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Private Street Food Tour by Motorbike/Car with Local Students cost?
+
Prices start at $70 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 Private Street Food Tour by Motorbike/Car with Local Students 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 Private Street Food Tour by Motorbike/Car with Local Students worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3,955 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Street Food Tour by Motorbike/Car with Local Students?
+
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 Private Street Food Tour by Motorbike/Car with Local Students 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 Private Street Food Tour by Motorbike/Car with Local Students?
+
Around 1,384 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 Private Street Food Tour by Motorbike/Car with Local Students 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.
