Private Vegan Food Tour By Scooter

Qué esperar

Hello! I am Vinny, the founder of Street Food Man and also a street food blogger.I have been an English speaking guide for 7 years and Vietnamese street food is my HUGE PASSION ever. I created these tours with the purpose of taking tourists from all over the world to explore Saigon, taste Vietnamese street food off of the beaten path and experience the life of the local people. Take in the sights, sounds, and smells of Saigon as I guide you through the back alleys and hidden street that you otherwise wouldn't find on your own.

Meet your guide at your accommodation and depart right away on the back a motorbike. Get ready to experience the the insane Vietnam traffic! The only thing that really stands between you and some awesome vegan food is the ‘daily-dice-with-death’ traffic situation, but don't worry your guide is an experienced driver and will calmly lead you through the traffic. Your first stop is in District 3, a hip new spot with a relaxed, historical environment all around. Here you’ll kick the tour off with a famous story about a Vietnamese Mahayana Buddhist monk who burned himself for protesting the persecution of Buddhists by the South Vietnamese government. After learning about the history of the people of Saigon, head up to a local vegan restaurant, a calm spot combined with nostalgic vibes, where you’ll savor "Banh Xeo" - vegan Vietnamese rice pancake served with fresh vegetables and vegan "fish sauce". 

Go on a short adventure to climb up to the top of some old buildings and see the contrasting architecture between modern and authentic Saigon. You can even visit a local pagoda which was built inside an old apartment by a female monk. Coming over District 10 then going off-the-beaten-path and diving into Saigon’s deep-rooted culture. Visit a true maze of the biggest wholesale flower market and a local market inside to have an authentic local experience in hidden alleys by grilling banana crispy crackers and local hangouts that you should not miss out on. Come to the most famous restaurant in Saigon to sample vegan food fares. At the peak of culinary innovation, let your senses run wild with carefully planned Vietnamese dishes featuring sustainable ingredients and sip on your old-fashioned water or vegan beer.

I wish to connect you with Vietnamese young generation, and also create a good job for them. I have chosen and carefully trained excellent guides who are passionate, energetic and have a HUGE PASSION for Vietnamese street food. They like talking with the tourists and possess a lot of enthusiasm in sharing culture, history, food and everything about Vietnam with you. They not only are willing to help you in the tour but also after the tour finishes. As our slogan “come as a guest, leave as a friend” we want to become your friends in Vietnam.
