5.00Really cool tour, you get to see the city from a different perspective. Riding on the streets is an adventure itself, but the guides watch out for you. The tour was also very relaxed, you get to see everything with no stress. Our tour guide Curly was a real treasure. She showed us her favourite Café and told us stories from the city. I can only recommend the tour to experience and explore the city in a very fun way.
Amazing ride in Saigon

5.00Incredible bike ride through the streets of Saigon. My husband and I ride bikes in New York City so we are comfortable on roads but nothing prepares you for Saigon! Our guide Quang was incredible and helped us and another person navigate beautifully through traffic, narrow lanes and more. It’s a perfect way to get to know this city. I would recommend doing the 7.30 am tour which is what we did, as it might get rather hot to bike in the afternoon if heat bothers you. Also to note, the bikes are probably the best we’ve had in Vietnam, good gears, brakes and more. Thank you Quang for an amazing ride. 🚴🏽♀️🚴🏽♂️🇻🇳

5.00I showed up at Jackfruit in the morning to find I was the only one who had signed up for the tour - so I had a private tour guide for 4 hours! The bikes are very solid with good brakes and a comfortable saddle. There's a small zippered pouch up front for carrying items like your wallet or water bottle. They also supply helmets, which seemed clean and in good condition. My guide was Duc, and the whole time I was riding, I felt reassured that we were safe. We were in and out of alleyways and lots of traffic - yet I was able to feel confident as rider. It was a fascinating look at how people live outside the tourist areas, along with some history of the city. Taking it all in by bike is a great way to cover a lot of ground in a little time. Plus, it helps to be on the bike in a cool breeze. There was a stop for an "herbal beverage" that was very tasty, as well as fruit & coffee later. I would not call it an easy ride, but it was not too challenging, either, as the city is mostly flat, and your guide will adjust to your pace to make sure you feel comfortable. As they say, ride your own ride!! Duc went above and beyond the call of duty, even transporting me back to my hotel because I had a flight to catch, providing me a recommendation for lunch for banh mi, and snapping photos along the way. He's a kind, charming guide who will help you learn more about Sai Gon!!
Great experience to get a glimpse into the daily life of this city!

5.00We had a great time with the family, cycling through a parts of Ho Chi Minh City! It is an amazing way to experience the city. This bike tour took us through narrow alleyways, bustling local markets, and Chinatown. It gave us a real glimpse into the daily life of the city — something you don’t easily get as a tourist. The guides were friendly, gave a lot of interesting information, and made sure we felt safe at all times. Even with the busy traffic, we never felt uncomfortable. Just go with the flow — and everything works out fine. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Ho Chi Minh City in an adventurous and active way!
Enjoyable

4.00This was an enjoyable tour away from the touristy area of district 1. Christian was our guide, he was fun and very knowledgeable about HCMC. You need to be reasonably confident riding a bike as you really get immersed in the traffic- but we felt totally safe and managed it with no trouble at all. Bikes were good with gears etc. It was a fun experience riding through little alleys and seeing the locals getting on with their lives.
Unbelievable adventure

5.00Really good trip. Fun with the bikes in the small alleys. The motorcycles in Saigon are plenty but it didn’t feel scary at all. Good guide!

5.00We did a bike tour through Ho Chi Minh City and it was amazing. Riding through the chaos—cars, scooters, and then there we were, on our bikes. It was such a great way to see another side of the city. Our guide, Quang, was incredibly kind. He even took photos of us without us having to ask.
Excellent Tour Guide

5.00There was a glitch about the starting point, but the company went out of their way to make up for it. I got two tours for the price of one (including the countryside around HoChi Minh City), and the tour guide, T, was the best! Navigating the city traffic was a fun and interesting experience.
