Our Story
Founded in January 2014, Saigon Food Tour was born from the passion of Dent, a native of the Mekong Delta who has called Saigon home for more than 20 years. To him, Saigon is more than a city — it is his second mother-home. With his deep knowledge of every corner, from hidden alleys to lively markets, Dent set out to share the authentic Saigon that locals know and love.
At Saigon Food Tour, we believe that travel is not only about sightseeing, but also about tasting authentic cuisine and understanding the culture behind it. Too often, visitors to Vietnam miss out on the dishes locals truly cherish. Our tours were created to change that — carefully curated food stops showcase flavors that are both authentic and unforgettable, offering travelers a genuine taste of Vietnam’s culinary soul.
Your experience is guided by our professional team of well-trained, English-speaking guides, who are also skilled and safe motorbike drivers. Riding a scooter in Saigon can be overwhelming for newcomers, but with us, it becomes a thrilling yet safe adventure — just as the locals live every day in a city powered by motorbikes.
Over the past decade, more than 20,000 travelers have joined our tours, leaving with not just full stomachs but also lasting memories of Vietnam. From sizzling street barbecues to hidden cafés and vibrant night markets, we don’t just show you Saigon — we let you taste its heart and soul.
Join us and discover why “The Journey of Taste” is more than a slogan — it’s the promise behind every Saigon food tour.
