Ho Chi Minh
Hear the sizzle of a table-top barbecue, lift a spoonful of crab noodle soup and fold a crisp banh xeo around its filling. This Ho Chi Minh City evening street food motorbike tour takes you between five eating stops, riding pillion with an English-speaking guide who also drives.
Begin with soft banh uot in District 3, continue to barbecue in District 10, then enjoy banh canh ghe, banh xeo and a sweet finish. The food adds up to one included dinner, with drinks from the tour’s offered selection and digital photos to remember the evening.
You do not need to drive. Send us your hotel, travel date, group size and dietary requirements so we can confirm the collection arrangements and menu before you book. Chat with us on WhatsApp · Email our travel team
This experience suits travellers who want to follow a local guide from dish to dish and enjoy Saigon from the back of a motorbike. Between stops, the ride brings the evening streets into the experience; there is no promised night-market visit or fixed landmark circuit.
Banh uot: start with delicate rice sheets in District 3 and learn about their preparation.
Barbecue: settle at a table in District 10 while your guide grills the food.
Banh canh ghe: try crab soup with thick tapioca noodles and the accompaniments served at the stop.
Banh xeo: taste savoury Vietnamese pancakes, with a chance to try their preparation under guidance.
Dessert: finish with an available option such as tropical fruit, mango and sticky-rice ice cream, or hibiscus frozen yogurt.

No. You ride pillion as a passenger with an English-speaking guide who also drives. Tell us beforehand if you are uncomfortable travelling by motorbike so we can discuss a different arrangement and its price.
The programme lists 17:55 following hotel pick-up. Send your hotel name and address so Vietpower Travel can confirm the collection time and pick-up coverage for your booking.
The tour includes drinks offered within its food-stop programme: bottled water, local beer, Strongbow cider, tea or soft drinks. The selection depends on the stop. Extra purchases outside this programme are separate; your confirmation will state the included choices.
The source programme includes unlimited food and drinks on the tour. This applies to the food and drink selection offered at the five included stops, rather than purchases from any vendor you pass. Ask us to confirm the selection with your quotation.
Send the exact allergy and any cross-contact concerns before booking. The planned menu includes crab, pork and fish products. We need the participating vendors to confirm what they can accommodate; an allergen-free environment is not promised.
Please ask before paying. The standard menu contains meat and seafood; a vegetarian, vegan or other dietary version needs confirmation and may involve different dishes. It is not automatically included in the published menu.
The programme includes learning about banh uot preparation and a chance to try preparing banh xeo with guidance. Participation depends on the arrangements at the stop; this is an evening food tour rather than a separate cooking course.
Tell us each child’s age and any mobility or riding concerns first. Passenger arrangements, helmet fit and suitability must be checked for the individual booking. We do not describe the motorbike experience as suitable for every age or ability.
Weather, traffic and vendor opening can affect the sequence and timing. Vietpower Travel will confirm any change to the evening’s arrangements; a rain-or-shine departure is not guaranteed.
Yes. Digital photos of the experience and the return to your hotel are part of the programme. Confirm the hotel coverage, expected finish time and photo delivery arrangements before departure; no fixed return hour is advertised.

17:55, following hotel pick-up: meet your English-speaking motorbike guide, go through the riding briefing and take your passenger seat. Your guide handles the riding as the evening begins.
Head to District 3 for banh uot and an introduction to preparing the soft rice sheets. Continue to District 10, where your guide grills the barbecue at your table.
At the third stop, taste banh canh ghe: ocean crab soup with tapioca noodles, served with accompaniments such as pork rinds, fried fish cake and green chilli sauce. Next comes banh xeo, the savoury pancake, with a chance to try making it under guidance when the stop’s arrangements allow.
Leave room for the final sweet stop. Depending on availability, dessert may be tropical fruit, ice cream with sticky rice and mango, or frozen yogurt with hibiscus flower. These are alternatives, rather than a promise of every dessert.
Along the way, your guide introduces the dishes and local life, while support staff capture moments from the evening. Return to your hotel after the final stop; the finish time depends on the evening’s route and traffic. Meal included: dinner.
Please confirm hotel coverage, menu choices, dietary requirements and the final arrangements in your quotation before booking.
Ask for the final price for your travel date and hotel before booking. Any applicable surcharge or separately requested arrangement will be itemised in the quotation.

Bring your appetite and wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe footwear for motorbike travel and food stops. Share your hotel address, food allergies and any riding concerns when you enquire. Do not assume the standard meat-and-seafood menu can meet a special diet without confirmation.
You travel as a passenger rather than driving. The team must confirm passenger arrangements, helmet fit and individual suitability, particularly for children or anyone with mobility concerns. Menu and sequence may change with vendor opening, weather and traffic.
The itinerary names District 3 and District 10 for its first two stops. Restaurants, subsequent food addresses and the exact riding route are arranged for the evening; no fixed night market, named restaurant or landmark stop is included in this description.
