We had two wonderful guides who spoke good English and knew the history of the city well. They brought us to interesting places and even adapted the tour to skip spots we had already been. And very fun (and safe) on the motorbikes!
The real Saigon by scooter!

The guides were excellent and the tour felt very safe. We saw lots of out of the way places we wouldn’t have seen otherwise.
Scooter Tour Excellent!!!

The two kids that picked us up at the hotel were great and they showed us around Saigon like we would never have seen on a regular tour! I highly recommend this "Scooter Tour" if you want to see areas of Saigon that you wouldn't normally see!!! Also it was very safe riding with the kids the drivers in Saigon are very good!
Really was hidden

Highly recommended. Seeing the city from the back of a motorbike is the way to do it here and is a lot better than a car. Seeing places that most people don't see is really a highlight and learning about how local people live was really interesting. If you like culture, unique, and learning about the city then this is the tour for you.
The girls were absolutely delightful...

The girls were absolutely delightful. We had a great day exploring Saigon.
Un moment très sympa à parcourir...

Un moment très sympa à parcourir tous les districts de Saigon via les petites rues. Nos conductrices/guides Trang et My enthousiastes et dynamiques ont été aux petits soins avec nous durant 4 heures. On se sent très vite à l'aise dans cette circulation pourtant dense derrière nos pilotes émérites. L'arrêt café local a été particulièrement apprécié. Bref je recommande.
