Saigon Morning Walking Food Tour: We will start your day by slurping a bowl of Vietnam’s unofficial national dish, phở (noodle soup). We will take you out of the tourist district for a food stroll through the “real” Saigon. We will begin at a phở place that has been serving phở for more than 40 years. This place is one of Saigon’s best-kept secrets … and it also serves wonderful Vietnamese coffee.
Next, what will we do on Saigon Morning Walking Food Tour?
After breakfast, we will go for a walk around the backstreets, past food stalls, cơm tấm (broken rice) restaurants, and other intriguing local shops.
We will take a walk through a chaotic local wet market, where tiny stalls sell fresh, dried, and pickled produce, as well as frogs, live seafood, and fresh meat. We will stop in the busy eating area to soak in the craziness, and learn about the tropical fruits and vegetables, in season at the time.
A short walk from the market is a green peaceful park, and a temple famous for its fortune-telling and its Saigon history. After this stop, we will get to enjoy a family-style meal in a nearby rice restaurant.
This tour, suitable for families, is a wonderful introduction to Vietnam. During the tour, you will get to learn some of the basics that will make your visit to Vietnam interesting, including how to cross the road!
In spite of not eating everything that you will see on the tour, when finishing the tour, you will be able to identify a range of local dishes and know how to order them. We also hope that you will have a deeper understanding of Vietnamese culture and history.
