GREAT SERVICES
We book a food tour, not realizing it was on motorbike. At first, we were scared, but it was too bad. We had two university students Son and Thang who took us around on their bike and it was so much fun. they made us feel so safe and we tasted so much delusions street food. It was like lunch with a couple of friends then a tour. The two guys were so friendly and informative. Love this food tour!

A must Do !
The food tour with Son and Thang were amazing, these two students were so accommodating and delight to talk too. We felt like it was with friends that tour guide. We ride around in Ho Chi Minh city tasting all the popular local food. EXCELLENT! A MUST DO!!

Amazing way to experience the local food culture
I only had one day in Ho Chi Minh and as a big foodie I wanted to make the most out of it. So I got in touch with this tour and did the trip. The guides where super friendly and went the extra mile to explain me all the details about the dishes I was eating. When I'm back in Ho Chi Minh I will do another trip with this team again 100% hands down.

Best street food tour ever
If you are feeling adventurous and aren’t a picky eater this tour is for you. Tina and May were great hosts, riding on the Vespa was very fun and I felt safe. The food was amazing and learnt a lot about the city and history of Vietnam.

Absolute must do
I highly recommend this tour. You get to see the real Saigon not just the shiny new parts. The food is also absolutely delicious. Our tour guides, May and Tina, were FAB! We couldn't have asked for better guides. It felt like we were out with our girlfriends, eating yummy food and drinking coffee. Couldn't rate them any higher. Thanks!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for coming with us. It's awesome to hear that you were pleased with our service and had a wonderful night out with our local guides. We still have more amazing food for you next time. It was a pleasure taking you through and showing you exciting places and telling you all the local lifestyle stories and food cultures. You are welcome to come back on our tours any time you are back in Saigon. Thank you.

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Saigon local street food-tasting tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Saigon local street food-tasting tour cost?
+
Prices start at $69 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 street food-tasting 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 street food-tasting tour 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 5 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 street food-tasting 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 street food-tasting 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 street food-tasting tour?
+
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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Saigon local street food-tasting 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 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.
