What To Expect

After being picked up from your central Ho Chi Minh City hotel by your private guide, hop on the back of a scooter for a thrilling tour of the city’s neighborhoods.

First, zip around the monuments of downtown Ho Chi Minh City and stop to snap photos of landmarks such as the Central Post Office, Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Independence Palace. Jump off to soak up the atmosphere of the lively Ben Thanh or Binh Tay markets, take a peek at the colorful Ho Thi Ky flower market, and marvel at the imposing Bitexco Tower, the city’s tallest skyscraper.

Continue through vibrant Chinatown as your guide tells stories of Ho Chi Minh City’s fascinating history and heritage, from its stint as the colonial capital of Saigon to the war years and the ‘Fall of Saigon’, and its subsequent rebirth as Ho Chi Minh City.

Finally, get a taste of local life as you take a detour through one of the city’s most affluent neighborhoods, then explore the traditional stilt houses of District 8, dotted along the Saigon riverside.

After taking in the city’s varied highlights, your tour ends with drop-off back at your hotel.

Best way to see the city!
Lia_T, Nov 2022
We didn’t have much time and this was definitely the best way to see as much of Saigon as possible! Tom and Ken were awesome guides, with excellent history knowledge as well as English. They took us to some great sights and food places, and zipping through the city on the back of their scooters always felt very safe!
Nice tour of HCM city on the vietnameese way of transportation
Marcus_N, Jul 2019
Very nice tour of city on motorbike, guides were friendly and answered all your questions. Good tour of city in gravt traffic but still feels very safe. Stop at some very interedting spots in the city with wasn’t the usual tourist points. We were very pleased with everything. Only one dissapointment, they promise to e-mail pictures from tour but we still haven’t received any??Maybe they forgot...

A great experience with wonderful tour guides. With the flexibility to stay a little longer at the places that were of personal interest and less time at others. A little bit of insight into to the city in a short amount of time and a whole lot of fun.

We had a fantastic scooter tour with our reps Trang and Evita, these girls are amazing, we could not ask for better. Both were very informative to what happens in Vietnam. Great drivers. we had a BALL. Would definitely recommend, we will be doing this again on our next visit to Vietnam.

This was a wonderful way to see the city in a limited time allotment. Trang and Nikki were our scooter guides and were gracious hosts as well as skilful drivers. We saw local markets, back alleys, the riverside houses, buildings from pre-war Saigon, plus had the best Vietnamese coffee ever and a taste of street side cuisine. I highly recommend this tour to everyone including those who feel they are too old to do this. My girlfriend and I are both over 60 and we were hesitant at first, but boy are we glad we did this! Definitely a highlight of our visit to Vietnam! My only suggestion is that you wear a surgical mask while riding since the fumes of hundreds of motorbikes and cars beside you can be overwhelming at times.

This was a wonderful tour with two amazing young ladies. Suong was our tour guide. She was very fluent in English as was her tour partner. We had a comprehensive tour that included the main sites plus how Vietnam coffee is made. It ended with a Vietnamese dinner downtown. We sampled about every food available, and it was all delicious. It should be a must-tour if you travel to Ho Chi Minh. Especially if you have a tour guide as competent and knowledgeable as Suong.

This was the best experience we had on our trip to Vietnam. The girls who took us out were amazing. So nice, knowledgeable about town history, and incredibly accommodating. They hunted down the souvenir we were looking for, stopped at places we wanted to see not usually on the tour, etc. Just great!

Michael_O, Apr 2016
This was without doubt the highlight of our trip to HCMC. The guides were pleasant, friendly girls who spoke excellent English and were very knowledgeable about the city - and excellent drivers!!. I went on the trip with my wife and 11 year old daughter. We felt very safe despite the chaos of the traffic around the city. A scooter is definitely the way to get around. This tour is a must for visitors - highly recommended.
