This was a brilliant thing to do. Trying the different foods and having the guides explain how things are made, we went to different parts of the city and felt very safe in their hands. Would definitely recommend using Saigon Vibes

Visit the below see photo for the best juicy stuffy varied stuffing crusty crunchy Banh Mi that many locals buy for just 20.000 dong. She has a cart on the streets of Ba Chieu Market and produces the bread & fillings from scratch. Such a talented lady who deserves more recognition. They don’t use internet much so am trying to help them. The tiny carts on the street here have vendors who are generous kind & very patient as I am English and don’t speak Vietnamese. Must visit her cart for best Banh Mi see attached pic for her address.Mel418

I can’t recommend this enough!! I did this with three other friends and we had such a fun night! Jack, Trixie, Tai and Tracy were not only very informative about the food, their language and culture, they were also wonderful company (and very safe drivers!). Jack was a fantastic guide and we had delicious food from places we would never have experienced otherwise (the beef salad was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten!), and exploring the city by bike is a great experience. A fantastic evening and by the end of it we felt we made four new friends!
