⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable night in Ho Chi Minh – and Joey made it even better!
If you’re visiting Ho Chi Minh City, book the Foodie by Night Tour immediately. It was without a doubt one of the highlights of my trip! The food was incredible, taking us to authentic local places I would never have found on my own. Every stop was different, delicious, and gave me a real taste of Vietnamese culture. Riding through the city’s buzzing streets on the back of a scooter was an adventure in itself and made the whole experience even more exciting. But what truly made this tour special was Joey, my guide and driver. She was absolutely fantastic! From the very first minute, she made me feel completely safe and comfortable on the scooter. She’s an excellent rider, incredibly friendly, funny, and full of positive energy. Joey shared interesting stories about the city, answered all my questions with a smile, and made the evening feel like I was exploring Ho Chi Minh with a good friend rather than being on a tour. Her enthusiasm is contagious, her English is excellent, and she genuinely cares that everyone has an amazing experience. Thanks to Joey, I didn’t just discover amazing food—I also discovered the heart and soul of the city. A huge thank you to Joey and the entire team for an unforgettable evening. If you can, ask for Joey—you’ll be in the best hands! Highly recommended. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat!
Response from the operator: Xin chào! Thank you so much for taking the time to share such an incredible and detailed review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that our Foodie by Night Tour was one of the highlights of your visit to Ho Chi Minh City. Introducing our guests to authentic local flavors while exploring the city's vibrant streets by scooter is exactly the experience we hope to create, and we're delighted that you enjoyed every stop along the way. Your heartfelt compliments about Joey truly mean the world to us. We're so pleased that she made you feel safe and comfortable from the very beginning, and that her warmth, enthusiasm, sense of humor, and local knowledge transformed the evening into something much more than just a food tour. Helping our guests experience the true heart and soul of Saigon is what our team is passionate about, and we're delighted Joey was able to create such a memorable experience for you. We'll be sure to share your wonderful feedback with Joey—she'll be absolutely thrilled to know she made such a lasting impression. Thank you once again for your enthusiastic recommendation, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure the next time you're in Vietnam! Asiana Link Team

Delicious Food.
I’ve come to Saigon to experience the food and the people. This tour certainly didn’t disappoint. The people were so hospitable and the food was of the highest quality. My taste buds were still ticking, long after the tour had finished. Thank you Thang, for presenting such a memorable tour. I was captivated from start to finish by your food knowledge and your unique traffic skills.
Response from the operator: Xin chao! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that your foodie experience in Saigon lived up to your expectations and allowed you to enjoy both the amazing local cuisine and the warm hospitality of the people. Your kind words about Thang truly mean a lot to us. We are very happy to know that his food knowledge, enthusiasm, and even his “traffic skills” helped create such a memorable and enjoyable evening for you. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for more delicious adventures in Vietnam soon! Asiana Link Team.

Authentic Street Food Experience with a Knowledgeable Local Guide
We had a delightful experience on this food tour with Daniel. The itinerary offered an impressive variety of street food—we sampled a total of 12 dishes, each showcasing a different aspect of the local cuisine. My personal favorite was the Bún Cá (fish noodle soup), which stood out for its flavor and freshness. The tour was very filling and well-paced, and having a knowledgeable local like Daniel made a big difference. He not only guided us to great food spots but also shared helpful context about the dishes and the area. Overall, a highly enjoyable and worthwhile experience.
Response from the operator: Xin chao, Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a delightful food tour experience with Daniel. Sampling a wide variety of dishes is exactly what we aim for, and it’s wonderful that the Bún Cá stood out as your favorite. Daniel will be very happy to know that his knowledge and local insights helped enhance your experience. Creating a well-paced and enjoyable journey through Saigon’s street food scene is something we truly value. Thank you again for your kind words, and we hope to welcome you back for more culinary adventures! Asiana Link Team

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Small-group Foodie by Night in Saigon (04 hours): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Small-group Foodie by Night in Saigon (04 hours) cost?
+
Prices start at $39 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 Small-group Foodie by Night in Saigon (04 hours) 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 Small-group Foodie by Night in Saigon (04 hours) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 52 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 Small-group Foodie by Night in Saigon (04 hours)?
+
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 Small-group Foodie by Night in Saigon (04 hours) 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 Small-group Foodie by Night in Saigon (04 hours)?
+
Around 18 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 Small-group Foodie by Night in Saigon (04 hours) 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.
