If Saigon is known for one thing, it's the fantastic food—and maybe its swarms of buzzing motorbikes if you are afraid of being behind scooters in this bustling city—this evening food walking tour with me when most of the street vendors open for business. You will taste cuisine from North, Central, and South Vietnam. Get picked up at the meeting point, Huyen Sy Church, and then we leave the tourist area behind and walk to the local area. Start your food adventure in the non-tourist district.
This itinerary can be customized to meet your needs and preferences. Send me a message with your requests!

It's great to meet you, I'm Binh
I founded a local guide team with well-trained, knowledgeable, passionate co-hosts Emmie, Hani, Lily, Urri, Den, Bob, Daniel, and others
I first discovered Saigon while studying at University after leaving our hometown in rural Vietnam. I immediately became fascinated by the city's unique blend of culture, history, and delicious cuisine. My education focused on tourism. I finally decided it was time to bring my custom-tailored experiences to my guests.
Our interest is that we like to show people around our city and share our perspectives and stories. We know the hidden gems and have a very deep passion and love for our city, which we like to share.
Great experiences for our guests are never accomplished by one person but by a team. Thanks for our team’s dedication to providing exceptional hospitality.
We are looking forward to connecting with you more!!
Best regards,
Ben
