Itinerary

1. Ho Chi Minh City
Hear Saigon sizzle with frying woks and charcoal grills, where dusk's draw brings out some of the city's best eateries for locals-in-the-know. Your evening food tour invites guests on a culinary experience around Saigon. It's a carefully curated food adventure, led by our team of professional food guides. Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine, & the limitations of street food vendors means we unfortunately cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed: ✘ Unsuitable for vegetarian diets sorry, as there would be 5-6 less tastings. ✖️ Unsuitable for severe allergies, halal and celiac diets, due to the risk of traces & cross-contamination. If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!
Duration: 60 mins
2. Ho Chi Minh City
Our food adventure navigates Ho Chi Minh City’s District 3 to discover street food heroes who have been serving up hot suppers for generations. From crispy taro khoai môn chiên cakes, to Michelin-rated grilled beef wrapped in lolot leaves. We'll slurp on rich, flavourful bánh canh cua crab noodle soup, dunked with Chinese crullers, and savour fresh razor clams stir-fried with crunchy morning glory. For the adventurous, there's delicious babylon snails in salted egg sauce, and for the classics there's Ms. Hoa's home-made bò kho Vietnamese stew. With 15+ tastings and plenty of surprises in between, this is the ultimate Saigon food tour. We even serve up a side of history with an invite-only visit to a hidden weapons bunker from the war.
