XO Tours is one of Saigon's best-known food tour operators, running evening motorbike tours where guests ride pillion behind local female guides dressed in traditional ao dai, weaving through the city to five or six street-food stops most independent travelers would struggle to find on their own. The tour balances well-known dishes with more obscure local favorites, and the guides double as cultural interpreters, explaining the history and etiquette behind each stop along the way.
