THIS IS HOW THE TOUR WILL BE DONE: Right after understanding all safety instructions from our guides, you will hit the road and immerse yourself into Saigon’s rush hours with thousands of vehicles.

Then, we’ll continue our drive for about 30 minutes to taste the first food named PHỞ BÒ, which means beef rice noodle soup, at a very local and busy food stall.
The next food is BÁNH XÈO, which means in English Rice pancake folded in half. You’ll witness how the food is made and try it with our guide’s explanations. Also just right here, you will taste GỎI CUỐN or Fresh Spring Rolls in English. Our guide explains how the food is made, what is the most accurate way to eat it and more.Through our guide’s stories, you’ll learn great things about this food. The next stop is at a street BANH MI stall. Banh Mi has been so well-known all over the world so why not give it a try right on the street. For this food, we don’t sit down as it’s only for takeaway. Just taste it to have a true feel of the most common Vietnamese breakfast for busy people.
Seafood food must be in the list of street food tour. You will be sitting on little chairs as the locals and try some common seafood that they normally eat. You will be told by our guide why these seafood eating stalls are so common. You’ll also see how the locals enjoy their free time with friends. The last food is a common desert food which is called Flan Cake or an alternative. This is where you can have interesting chats with your guides to end the tour with great memories.
