THE EXPERIENCE
To experience Ho Chi Minh City, you need to do two things: Ride a motorbike, and eat the food. On this tour, you’ll do both. Zooming across five districts with your English-speaking guide, you’ll hop on and off your motorbike to taste the most popular street food in Vietnam. It's perfect for those hot Saigon nights.
ITINERARY
- After a fun ride on the back of the scooter, our first stop is Beef Noodle Soup ( Bun Bo Hue - NOT PHO that you can find everywhere in Vietnam).
- After the first meal, your guide driver will take you to a “food heaven” in District 3. Street food sold here is diverse since people in the area come from many places and have different tastes. Climb up to the buildings and see the contrasting architecture between the modern and the traditional.
- The next stop for food is in the Cambodian market. Over here you will sample Banh Trang Nuong and Crispy Banana Cracker
- Hop on the scooter and get to another area to enjoy the most popular street food in Vietnam – Banh My – This food is listed as #1 street food that Vietnamese people eat almost every day because it is very convenient and delicious.
