Overview

This is a scooter-based food tour lasting about four hours in Ho Chi Minh City. You start with a hotel pickup where your English-speaking guide gives you a safety briefing and helps you get comfortable riding the scooter. The tour visits several local spots including the Nguyễn Thiện Thuật Apartment Buildings, where you see a 1960s residential block and sample traditional Vietnamese snacks from family vendors. Next, you explore Hồ Thị Kỷ Flower Market, known for its colorful flowers and Cambodian street food stalls, with one or two tastings depending on your package choice of 7, 9, or 12 dishes. The tour continues into Chinatown (Phố Tàu Sài Gòn), where you taste authentic street food prepared by third-generation chefs and learn about the area's Chinese-Vietnamese heritage through stories shared by your guide. You also walk through narrow alleys in Chinatown to see more of the neighborhood’s local life and history. The tour finishes with a relaxing scooter ride through District 3’s tree-lined boulevards and French-era villas. At the end, your guide returns you safely to your hotel or starting point. The tour includes all food tastings, scooter accident insurance, and free hotel pickup and dropoff, with no extra fees for private or group tours.
