Ho Chi Minh street food review
If you like street food, then this is the tour for you. Tien our tour guide went above and beyond to cater all of our needs. He took us to a lot of different local vendors to try authentic, everyday meals. Our guide Tien was wonderful. He was incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive throughout the tour. He took the time to explain many things about the local food, culture, and traditions, and was always happy to answer our questions. We really appreciated his warmth and effort. One tip I would definitely recommend is ordering just one dish at each stop and sharing it with the group. There are many stops and a lot of food, so this way you can taste everything without getting too full too early. While the tour itself wasn’t my favorite, I have nothing but positive things to say about our guide. He truly did his best to make the experience enjoyable.
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Customer, Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We are truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed your travel experience with us. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and it means a great deal to know that our efforts helped make your trip memorable. We sincerely appreciate your trust in our services and your thoughtful comments. They motivate us to continue improving and delivering even better experiences in the future. We look forward to welcoming you again on your next journey. Warm regards, Manager.

Lam is the best food guide for Siagon!
Amazing and comfortable tour with my wife. Lam did an amazing job showing us all of the best spots that were delicious and not over crowded! She got us more amazing food in 3 hours then we could have ever found in 3 weeks!

Unique and unforgettable experience
Our tour with Lily, Lam, Trieu and Alex was absolutely fantastic. These 4 were so friendly und informative and we felt safe all the time. They guided us safely to non-touristic areas and gave us the possibility to experience the vietnamese culture. The food was so good! Thanks again to Alex and his team : ) We highly recommend this tour!

Amazing experience with Lilly and Sammy!
I booked a fantastic tour through Vietcruise Tours (www.vietcruisetours.com), and it exceeded all my expectations! From the very first contact, the service was top-notch. A huge shoutout to Lily, the sales lady at the office—she was incredibly helpful, patient, and responsive. She answered all my questions promptly, customized everything perfectly to my preferences, and made the booking process so smooth and stress-free. The highlight of my trip was the street exploration tour through the vibrant streets of Ho Chi Minh City with my amazing tour guide, Sammy. She took me to incredible hidden spots, showed me authentic local life, and truly brought the city to life. What stood out most was her patience—she took the time to explain everything I wanted to know in perfect English, sharing fascinating history, culture, and tips along the way. Her enthusiasm and knowledge made the experience unforgettable and so much more enjoyable. Vietcruise Tours delivered a personalized, high-quality adventure with friendly, professional people who genuinely care about making your trip special. I highly recommend them to anyone visiting Vietnam—whether you're looking for city tours, day trips, or more. I'll definitely be booking with them again on my next visit! Thank you, Lily and especially Sammy—you made my Ho Chi Minh City experience magical! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Saigon Street Food By Night - Foodie City Private Tour With Local Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Saigon Street Food By Night - Foodie City Private Tour With Local Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 Street Food By Night - Foodie City Private Tour With Local Guide take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Street Food By Night - Foodie City Private Tour With Local Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 32 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 Street Food By Night - Foodie City Private Tour With Local Guide?
+
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 Street Food By Night - Foodie City Private Tour With Local Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Saigon Street Food By Night - Foodie City Private Tour With Local Guide?
+
Around 11 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Saigon Street Food By Night - Foodie City Private Tour With Local Guide 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.
