Premium Street Food Tour at Pamamasyal sa Scooter sa Ho Chi Minh City

If you want to experience Ho Chi Minh City like a local, this tour is a must. I joined Saigon Adventure’s 12-food tour, and it was easily one of the highlights of my trip. Our guide, Daniel, was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Vietnamese food. He explained the history and culture behind every dish, making the experience much more than just a food tour. Every stop was excellent, but my favorites were the bánh mì, bánh tráng nướng, bò lá lốt, and chuối nướng. By the end, I was completely stuffed and couldn’t believe how much amazing food was included. The tour is done by motorbike, which sounded intimidating at first, but despite Ho Chi Minh City’s chaotic traffic, Daniel made me feel safe the entire time. Riding through the city was an adventure in itself. If you’re visiting Ho Chi Minh City, I can’t recommend Daniel and the Saigon Adventure team enough. Come hungry—you’ll leave with a full stomach and a much deeper appreciation of Vietnamese food and culture.

Ang pakikipagsapalaran sa buhay ay nagsisimula sa isang desisyon at isang click lang (sige, ilan din pala, 😆) Ang pag-sign up para sa isang 1:1 scooter tour sa Saigon Adventure ay isa sa mga bagay na hindi ko pinagsisihan at lubos kong irerekomenda! Sa pag-sign up para sa isang 12-dish tour, maswerte ako na napares kay Rae, ang aking personal na gabay. Mahusay siya sa Ingles, at ang aming mga komunikasyon at pag-uusap ay hindi kailanman nabigo na sorpresahin at bigyan ako ng kaalaman sa dami ng impormasyon na alam niya tungkol sa HCMC. Nag-iingat siya nang husto nang simulan namin ang tour, tinuruan niya ako kung paano sumakay sa kanyang motor, kung ano ang dapat bantayan sa tambutso, at sinigurado niyang komportable ako sa buong biyahe. Ang napansin ko bukod sa tour ay ang koneksyon niya sa mga tindera na aming binisita. Hindi ito transaksyonal kundi isang malalim na personal na koneksyon kung saan pinapahalagahan niya ang mga matatandang tindera na nagsisikap para mabuhay. Kung gusto mong malaman pa, makipag-ugnayan sa Saigon Adventures at ipagdasal na si Rae ang makuha mo (bagaman sigurado akong ang ibang mga gabay ay kaaya-aya at mahusay din makipag-usap). 100% inirerekomenda! 👍🏻☺️

One of the best half-day tours we’ve ever had! We booked a private food tour and got to try so many local foods, including grilled banana sticky rice, sugar cane juice, beef noodles, banana crackers and more. Everything was delicious, and it was also a great way to see and understand a little more of local culture. Leon was a wonderful guide, and his colleague was incredibly friendly and helpful as well (sorry, I forgot his name! A tall and good looking young lad). They were both so warm-hearted and even helped look after our 3-year-old son during the tour, which made the whole experience so relaxed for us. We also really appreciated the short cultural explanations along the way. When we noticed some similarities between Vietnamese local beliefs and Chinese religious traditions, Leon kindly shared some background about Chinese Taoist religious practices in Vietnam. It was a really interesting and unexpected part of the tour. Highly recommend this tour, especially the private option.

It was one of the best things we did in HCMC! Highly recommend this tour. Kevin was very professional throughout the whole tour with intensive background explanation of the places we visited. He also explained us about the food we are eating as well. I liked his little quizzes that he prepared to have us thinking in between. Kai was also very supportive throughout the tour being the right hand of Kevin. I would say it is one of the best way to see how the locals eat and live!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lubos na inirerekomenda si Leon, ang babaeng may salamin, at ang kanilang kahanga-hangang team! Ang door-to-door na pagkuha at paghatid sa hotel ay nagpadali at nagpakalma sa lahat. Ang mga driver ay napakahusay at propesyonal—pakiramdam ng aking mga magulang ay 100% silang ligtas sa buong oras. Ang 4 na oras na tour na ito ay sulit sa bawat sentimo. Dinala nila kami sa mga kamangha-manghang lokal na "hidden gems," tulad ng District 10 market, Vườn Lài night market, at ang makasaysayang Bàn Cờ neighborhood mula 1968. Tunay na isang tunay na lokal na karanasan! Ang 12 Tasting with Seafood menu ay napakasarap at lubos kaming nabusog! Ang mga highlight ay ang masarap na Bún Bò Huế, world-class na Chuối Nướng, sariwang scallops na may taba ng sibuyas, at napakalamig na Saigon Beer. Tinrato kami ng team ni Leon na parang matagal nang kaibigan na may walang kamaliang Ingles. Isang di malilimutang gabi sa Saigon! 💯🛵🔥

Lubos na inirerekomendang tour! Isa sa mga highlight ng aking biyahe sa Saigon! Nasiyahan ako sa paggalugad sa mga lugar ng lungsod na hindi gaanong dinarayo ng turista habang marami akong natutunan tungkol sa kasaysayan, lutuin, at relihiyon ng Vietnam. Si Tom, ang tour leader, ay puno ng kaalaman at hilig. Mahusay din siyang magsalita ng Ingles. Mahusay ang ginawa ng kanyang team sa pagtiyak na ligtas at komportable ang bawat isa sa grupo. Pinahahalagahan ko ang aking driver, si Cherry, sa pag-aalaga sa akin at sa pagbabahagi ng marami tungkol sa kasaysayan ng Vietnam. Masarap ang pagkain at maayos ang pagpaplano ng itineraryo. Gagawin ko ulit ang tour na ito kung kaya ko :)

🇻🇳This time in Vietnam, I joined a street food tour, and it has been one of my favorite experiences of the trip. Our guide, Rae, is incredibly knowledgeable. Not only did I get to enjoy amazing local food, but I also learned a lot about Vietnam’s history. Walking, exploring, and eating at the same time — I truly loved this part. It made the whole journey so rich and exciting. I honestly think this is one of the best and fastest ways to get to know the city. What impressed me the most was how caring Rae was. Every time I finished a dish, she thoughtfully handed me wet wipes to clean my hands🧻, and even fanned me to help cool me down🪭. Her English is excellent, and she can even speak some Chinese, which made communication so easy and comfortable. Her kindness and patience truly touched me. I’m so grateful for this experience — thank you for making me give Ho Chi Minh City a big thumbs up.👍

Talagang kamangha-manghang tour. Pampamilya. Ako ay Biyetnames at nakapunta na sa Saigon ng 4 na beses at namangha pa rin ako sa tour na ito. Ang aming mga gabay at drayber na sina ANH NGOC, TÍNH LÊ, NGUYEN TRANG THE VINH ay napakahusay. Nagkaroon na kami ng mga tour sa buong mundo at sa totoo lang sa tingin ko sila na ang pinakamahusay! Sila ay palakaibigan, nagbibigay impormasyon, napaka-accommodating sa aking pamilya (mayroon kaming dalawang maliliit na bata - 2 at 5!), at sinigurado rin na mayroon akong mga pagpipiliang vegetarian! Ang pagkain ay masarap at ang laki ng pagtikim ay napakalaki - higit pa sa isang sampling. Umalis kami na busog na busog at masaya ang mga puso. Ang pagsakay sa scooter sa pamamagitan ng lungsod ay kamangha-manghang - ang mga vibes, ang mga tanawin, ang mga amoy. Isa pa! Mas malaki kami sa mga gabay ng ilang kgs at nagawa pa rin nila kaming i-drive nang walang problema. Nakuha namin ang drayber, bata, at isang may sapat na gulang sa isang scooter. Irerekomenda ko ang tour na ito sa sinuman, buong puso. Ang kanilang Ingles ay mahusay din! Napakasaya sa aming karanasan.

We booked a 7 course food tasting scooter tour at night. Hannah Dinh and her team, Cherry and Genie took great care of my wife and son as it's their first time pillon on a scooter. We explored various districts of Ho Chi Minh City, learnt the culture and lifestyle during and after the American war. 7 course food tasting is just nice for my family members, we also shared some of the meals like (banh mi, grill banana with coconut milk) in order not to anything waste food. Our favorite foods were Bun Bo Hue, Banh Mi, Grill beef in betel leave and creme brulee. The scooter ride was safe for my 10 year old boy, he had an amazing experience of the smooth and yet busy traffic of Ho Chi Minh City. I will highly recommend travellers with family and kids to experience this activities.

The itinerary was so well thought out!! My friend and I had a great time with Anna and Nora, who provided excellent service. I think this is 100% a must-do activity for anyone visiting Vietnam for the first time. It was interesting to see Ho Chi Minh City from the perspective of the locals. My friend and I felt extremely safe riding on the scooters with our guides. This will definitely be the highlight of our trip!!
