A Ho Chi Minh City Food Tour with Back of the Bike Tours
Our Ho Chi Minh City Food Tour, A Taste of Vietnam, is our most popular product since our opening in 2011. Our menu has evolved greatly over the years to match the tastes and demand of hungry travelers coming to Saigon.
What will we eat on your Ho Chi Minh City Food Tour?
We have multiple tours that run everyday and the menu is different for each tour. Some examples of dishes we might have on our food tours:
Banh Uot, a steamed rice paper that we use to wrap around roasted meat, julienned mango, and fresh herbs. Served with 4 dipping sauces like sweet fish sauce or pureed sticky rice with shrimp.
Bun Thit Nuong, rice noodles served under grilled pork belly, ground pork sausage, fried spring rolls, fresh herbs, peanuts, and chili. The whole dish is covered in a sweet fish sauce with pickles and eaten at room temprature. You can find this dish all over Ho Chi Minh City and it has been a staple on our Afternoon food tour for many years.
How much is your food tour?
Our food tour prices range depending on if its a group tour or a private tour. Also our night tour is more expensive than our street food tour in the afternoon. You can check out all of our prices on our website at
Where will we go during the tour?
Our Tours are only in Ho Chi Minh City, but we do get outside of the very center of the city pretty quickly on every tour. Our Taste of Vietnam will take you to District 1, 3, 10, and 5 as we make our way through the night on motorbikes. Our food tour in the Afternoon, Big Eats & Small Seats, is all about street food so we will explore a little bit further. The traffic is lighter in the afternoon in Saigon, so that help us travel greater distances in a short amount of time. On the afternoon tour we will go through Districts 1,3,10,5, and 8.

SAIGON MOTORBIKE TOUR: Explore Ho Chi Minh City with Saigon on Motorbike!
EXPLORE SAIGON ON A MOTORBIKE
Vietnam and Saigon are all about motorbikes, so what better way to tour the city than on the back of one? We've been on many sightseeing tours before, but this has been one of the most fun and exciting so far.
For four hours, I rode with Saigon on Motorbike to experience some of the best Ho Chi Minh City has to offer. We had some tasty bun thit nuong and went to an interesting and unique cafe with ties to the Vietnam War. We rode through as many of Saigon's districts as we could, exploring interesting neighborhoods like the Cambodian market, Monument Park, and an historic apartment block building.
If you're looking for a fun way to experience Saigon, then you may want to check out this tour.

Our Favorite Pho in Ho Chi Minh City!
Chad and Fred catch up over a bowl of phở at Pho Le, 413 Nguyen Trai street in Saigon Vietnam learn more about Pho in Ho Chi Minh City here
Pho, the ambassador of Vietnamese street food across the entire globe. This one dish has helped spark an entire foodie movement of Vietnamese Street Food fans who come to Vietnam searching for a delicious bowl of Beef Noodle soup.
If you want to learn even more about Ho Chi Minh City Street Food be sure to check out our playlist here:
What is Pho?
Simply put, a beef broth soup with flat rice noodles, braised beef, and fresh herbs. It's a Vietnamese street food that can be found up and down the entire country of Vietnam and can differ greatly in style depending on where you are eating in Vietnam or even across the globe. The dish can be rather inexpensive around 30,000 VND or extremely pricey like 18 AUD in places like Sydney or some upscale restaurants in Vietnam.
Saigon Pho vs. Hanoi Pho
Whats the difference? The amount of ingredients would be the simplest answer. For many many years Northern Vietnam, which is where Pho orginated, was one of the poorest areas in Vietnam. The classic bowl of Pho here, would have been very simple with the least amount of ingredients found inside the broth and the garnish inside of the soup. In southern vietnam, the addition of Thai Basil, Sawtooth Coriander, Mint, and Bean Sprouts is a common site at most any Pho restaurant but that is not the case in Northern Vietnam. The garnish would have been added into the broth and would simply be green onion and sliced white onion. This is a simplified version, there are a few other differences but I'll leave that to a much longer blog post to dive into the history, origin, and differences of Pho across Vietnam.
How is Pho prounonced?
If you say the phrase, What the F*, the beginning of the bad word would be the correct pronunciation. You don't want to say it like the word, Foe. Remember, Pho is your friend, not your foe!
What does Pho mean in Vietnamese?
Pho will actually refer to the rice noodle used inside of the beef noodle soup. Its a flat, long rice noodle that will be fresh and not dried. In Vietnamese Cuisine, if you use that noodle for a different dish, you would then use the word pho to describe it and the Vietnamese would understand that you are talking about the noodle and not the beef soup.
What ingredients can you find inside of Pho Broth?
The classic style of cooking Pho broth is time consuming. It takes up to 8 hours to boil beef bones to get the flavored broth you will need for a great bowl of Pho. Burnt onion and ginger is used inside of the broth, along with other various spices that will depend on each cooks own recipe. If you want to experiment you can start with Cinnamon sticks, Black cardamom, fennel seeds, cloves, and coriander seeds. Don't get caught up in being such a purist that it stops you from making your own pho, there are many recipes and videos out there showing how to make a much quicker pho that most Vietnamese households use. Most families are so busy that they aren't going to spend 12 hours to make a bowl of Pho for family dinner. Don't be worried and just jump in and have fun!
