Saigon Street Eats by Motorbike – A Night of Local Flavors

We had an incredible food tour in Saigon with Lucy! It was just the two of us, and we explored the city on motorbikes, with Lucy and her friend driving us. Despite the chaotic impression of Saigon’s streets, the ride felt surprisingly relaxed, and we could fully enjoy the experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and the beef stew we had was the best meal of our entire Vietnam trip! We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and enjoyable food adventure in Saigon!

I’ve taken a motorbike tour in a different city before, so I had high expectations for this one. I was excited to try my first motorbike food tasting tour. However, after experiencing it, I was a bit disappointed with my guide and the overall experience. My guide was Levi, who was friendly enough but seemed very inexperienced. The ride felt bumpy and rough, and a couple of times I genuinely thought we might crash into a pole. When he gave the presentation at the flower market, it felt very scripted and unnatural—like he had just memorized a bunch of random facts. He also seemed incredibly nervous. I think with more practice, his delivery and confidence would improve. While he was friendly for most of the tour, he didn’t say anything when we parted ways at the end and just left awkwardly. Throughout the tour, he also seemed visibly frustrated when I didn’t understand his English, which made me uncomfortable. There were two other guides and drivers on the tour. At one point, one of the guides insisted we order more dishes after I suggested sharing just one. It ended up being too much food and we had to waste some, which I found frustrating. Later, the guide admitted we were right and should’ve just ordered one dish. On a positive note, the food was delicious, and I appreciated getting to try dishes that aren’t typical or touristy. I genuinely enjoyed the food and would eat it again. Overall, I would rate this tour 3/5 stars. There’s room for improvement, and I believe your experience really depends on the guide you get.

Tour was great! The guys were awesome guides and spoke English well. They were friendly and animated. Food was delicious. Really enjoyed seeing the wholesale flower market too! Highly recommend!

We had a super nice evening on this tour. It was customized to our food preferences, they drove very very safe and we had a great time together. All the food in the different Districts was delicious.

Had a great last night in Saigon touring on motorbikes around and sampling the best street food! Helen & Binh were amazing guides and it was a great experience to have locals speaking English to us and explaining how to eat like a local!
