What is the cheapest price?
How much does Ho Chi Minh City food tour cost?
On an OTA website, I found that there was the Student Motorbike Tour with Saigon Unseen and City Highlight sold at the cost of $17 USD. However, the lowest price is never the best price. We should consider the food quality and safety as well as the services. It can be a short tour with cheap eating places and low priced foods and run by an inexperienced local student. These tours are usually hosted by local students who would like to practice English and sold popularly on some websites. Although there are some good cheap tours, we can not guarantee the quality of cheap tours. You should read reviews and research carefully before booking low priced Ho Chi Minh food tours.
What is the highest price?
The highest price is perhaps $120 USD. Vespa Saigon food tour and jeep Saigon food tour are among the most expensive choices because of the high costs of transfers by Vespa and jeep. In addition, many local dishes at good local restaurants are served on these deluxe tours. Another high priced choice is Saigon food tour with chef which costs up to $120 USD.
Do Ao Dai Saigon food tours have higher prices?
Yes, Ao Dai Saigon food tours are more expensive than other food tours because of the difficulty of arranging and high costs of Vietnamese traditional dresses. XO Tours offers a night foodie tour at the price of about $80 USD. Saigon Kiss Tour sells Saigon Evening Food Tour On Motorbike at the price of about $60 USD. Ao Dai Saigon Food Tours offers a better price, only $45 USD. Qualities are not too different and you can choose one of them.

Are Ho Chi Minh City food tours including seafoods, snails, BBQ, and beers more expensive?
The answer is yes. BBQ, seafood and snail dishes are amazing and should not be missed on your trip to the city. When eating these dishes, local people usually sip some local beers. You will learn so much about the real local life, “drinking” (“Nhau”) culture, and have fun like Saigonese people. Prices of the dishes and beers are higher than other Vietnamese dishes such as noodle soups, savory cakes, desserts, broken rices, grilled girdle cakes,… so prices of the food tours including seafood and snail restaurants are higher.
What is the average and reasonable price of Ho Chi Minh City food tour?
As I know, some good Ho Chi Minh City food tours offering more than 10 tastings and lasting 4 hours cost about $45 USD. It is a reasonable price and you can rest assured booking these tours. In my opinion, a 4-hour food tour by motorbike that costs more than $50 USD is considered overpriced.
The price of $100 USD for a jeep food tour in Saigon is affordable. It is a good choice to book a Vespa food tour that costs about $70 USD. A local student food tour should not cost more than $35 USD.
