Ho Chi Minh City Food Tour Itinerary
Your guide will pick you up from your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City at your chosen time. You will ride on a motorbike as the guide takes you to various food trucks, stalls, and shops in the city.
Routes differ based on whether you choose a morning, lunchtime, or nighttime tour.
Morning and Lunchtime Food Tour
The tour begins with a typical Vietnamese dish: broken rice, which consists of barbecue pork, vegetables, pickled carrots, and fish sauce. Next, you will explore the old quarter and enjoy a cup of local coffee while learning about its preparation.
After coffee, visit the Flower Market, the largest in the country, to photograph and learn about flower-buying traditions. Proceed to Chinatown to discover its influence, visiting the Chinese Lantern Market and the oldest Chinese temple.
Next, enjoy Vietnamese crepes filled with Asian vegetables, meats, and seafood. Visit a floating market, drink fresh coconut water from the fruit, and discover stories about the local mafia history. The tour concludes with traditional Vietnamese beef noodle soup before dropping you back at your hotel.
Nighttime Food Tour
The nighttime tour starts similarly with broken rice, but skips coffee to head directly to the Flower Market. You will ride through mafia territory and try Vietnamese crepes. Next, sample a banh mi, a Vietnamese baguette filled with exotic flavours.
The final stop features BBQ fish and seafood paired with a Vietnamese beer. After this, you will be returned to your hotel.
