Indulge in the mind-blowing flavours of Vietnamese cuisine on this food tour of Ho Chi Minh City. Discover the French influence and visit the best street food stalls.

Ho Chi Minh City Food Tour Itinerary

Your guide will pick you up from your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City at the chosen time. You will ride a motorbike around the city exploring the best food trucks, stalls, and shops.

The routes vary depending on whether you choose the morning, lunchtime, or nighttime tour.

Morning and Lunchtime Food Tour

The tour begins with a typical Vietnamese dish, broken rice, featuring barbecue pork, vegetables, pickled carrots, and fish sauce.

Next, you will visit the old quarter, observe buildings from the US occupation, and then stop for a cup of local coffee while learning about its preparation.

Proceed to the Flower Market, Vietnam's largest, to take photos and learn about flower-buying traditions.

Then, head to Chinatown, visiting the Chinese Lantern Market and the Chinese Medicine Market, concluding with a visit to a historical Chinese temple.

Your next food stop features crepes filled with Asian vegetables, meats, and seafood, a dish influenced by French Indochina.

Discover the floating market, enjoy fresh coconut water, and learn about local business practices. The tour finishes with traditional Vietnamese beef noodle soup before returning to your hotel.

The nighttime tour follows a similar route but skips the coffee and focuses on the Flower Market.
