Pham Ngu Lao Street is located in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon, Vietnam. The street was named after a national hero of Vietnam. Pham Ngu Lao Street or “Pho Tay” or “Khu Tay Ba Lo”, are familiar way of Saigon people and tourists named for the residential areas located on three main roads of De Tham, Bui Vien and Pham Ngu Lao. The reason for the call “Pho Tay, Khu Tay Ba Lo” is because this place has a number of foreign visitors, especially Western backpackers (used to refer to foreigners who travel to Vietnam often wear backpacks on their backs).

Interesting street food tour!
We had an amazing Street Food tour in Ho Chi Minh City with La Truc as a guide! She was super knowledgeable about the city and showed us around lots of cool places, including the cool skyline. We also had a driver who arranged the transport between the different places, which was super convenient. We got to taste three different Vietnamese dishes at three different local restaurants, and La Truc shared lots of interesting facts about local life. She was really a great guide!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Saigon Local Food Night Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Saigon Local Food Night Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $20 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 Saigon Local Food Night Tour 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 Saigon Local Food Night Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Saigon Local Food Night Tour?
+
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 Saigon Local Food Night Tour 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 Saigon Local Food Night Tour?
+
Around 1 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 Saigon Local Food Night Tour 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 Saigon Local Food Night Tour?
+
Included: 4 hours tour on motorbike, fuel, high quality open-faced helmet, bottle of water, rain pon; Guide; and Meals. Not included: - Beverage/drinks on meal (if any) - Personal expenses - Other expenses not clearly. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Saigon Local Food Night Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2423 listed pickup locations in and around Ho Chi Minh City. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Saigon Local Food Night Tour 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 Saigon Local Food Night Tour?
+
