Way more than I expected!
K9929NGsofiam, October 2026
I've lived in Vietnam with my family for 5 months, but I'd been too nervous to try street food. This tour was the perfect introduction. Every stop offered a well-curated selection of local dishes, and it was so filling and delicious!
One of the best parts was getting to know our guides, Albert (a Ho Chi Minh City native) and Joyce. Seeing Vietnam through their eyes was unforgettable. They taught us about the culture and how to enjoy the different flavour combinations, and they were kind, attentive, passionate and insightful. They happily answered every question we had.
We also covered a lot of ground by motorbike: 4 districts in total, including parts of the city we hadn't yet seen despite living here. It's so important to stay a tourist in the place you live, and this tour reminded me how much fun it is to learn about local food.
Spending time with engaging guides gives you the deeper understanding you need to get the most out of the experience.
Highly recommended!

My tour with Thuy was phenomenal! The food was exceptional, and at spots supporting local families making the best dishes you can find in Vietnam! Thuy was an infinite resource of information about the city and culture. This is a can’t miss experience in the city!

Gluten Free Food Tour

I booked on to the private motorbike food tour with Thuy and Grace. My partner and I had an amazing evening, even catering towards her coeliac disease (gluten free). The food options as well as the local knowledge made the whole experience incredible.

Great value for money and a well paced tour with a mix of sight seeing and eating. The tour also had a good range of Vietnamese food.
Catherine and Tran were excellent guides - extremely knowledgeable and well spoke. They were also safe drivers.

Fantastic Food Tour

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our private food tour with The Street Food Man in Ho Chi Minh City was easily one of the best experiences we had during our entire trip through Vietnam.
Our guides Catherine, Tuoi, Joyce and Phuong were absolutely amazing from start to finish. They were friendly, funny, knowledgeable and incredibly attentive, and they made the four of us feel completely comfortable and looked after throughout the evening.
One of the highlights was simply experiencing Ho Chi Minh City from the back of their motorbikes. We travelled through busy streets, little laneways and neighbourhoods we would never have discovered on our own, stopping along the way to try some fantastic local food. It felt like we were seeing a completely different side of the city.
And then the heavens opened!
We ended up riding through a proper Ho Chi Minh City rainstorm, but rather than ruining the night, it somehow made the experience even better. The girls handled it like it was just another day at the office, got us sorted with rain gear and kept the adventure rolling. We are so glad we didn’t cancel because of the weather. Riding through Saigon in the rain is now one of those travel memories we will probably be laughing about for years.
What impressed us most, though, was the care they took with a serious seafood allergy within our group. This included avoiding seafood and fish sauce, which you might imagine could make a Vietnamese street food tour fairly challenging! Not for this team. They had clearly done their homework and made sure there were safe, delicious alternatives at every stop. Nothing felt like an inconvenience, and the person with the allergy was still able to fully enjoy the experience with everyone else. That level of care was hugely appreciated.
The food was fantastic, the motorbike ride was brilliant, and Catherine, Tuoi, Joyce and Phuong turned what could have simply been a food tour into one of the absolute highlights of our Vietnam adventure.
A genuine five-star experience and something we would recommend without hesitation.
If you are visiting Ho Chi Minh City, don’t just see it from the footpath — jump on the back of a bike, trust these wonderful guides and experience the city properly.
And if it rains… definitely don’t cancel. That might just end up being the best part!
This tour was absolutely value for money. We were on the tour for well over 4 1/2 hours and we literally couldn’t fit in all the food. There was just so much.
