Hold it tight! After hotel pickup by scooter, zoom off your first stop for an appetizer. Sit like a local at the food stall eating 1#banana sticky rice before doing a small cooking class where you will make your own 2#mini savory crispy pancakes, rolled up with 3#grilled beef wrapped in betel leaf.

Then, take a walk around the street food heaven in District 10 to taste 4#shredded pork crispy rice and 5#fried bao buns. At the next stop, immerse yourself in the biggest flower market of Saigon and try the best 6#Vietnamese pizza, 7#grilled crackers, and challenge yourself with 8#snails stuffed with pork.

Next, venture into the oldest apartment area to enjoy sugarcane juice and 9#Hue beef noodle soup before stopping for fantastic 10#Banh mi. Finally, head for 11#dessert with different flavored caramel flans and jellies before heading back to your hotel. Especially your guides(also your drivers) are local students who are excellent licensed drivers, well-trained and fluent in English
