A visit to the most popular tourist attractions in Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) and learn more about the architecture, history, and less-known stories is a must thing to do in the city. However, we will do it in a different and fun way on the back of a motorbike. A plus to a normal city tour is zipping through the huge network of alleyways, see lots of hidden brilliant gems, learn how to make a cup of the special Vot coffee, enjoy a drink while chatting leisurely with the nice female guide and the owner at a 80-year coffee shop.

Our talented guide with the motorbike picks you up at your hotel (or any location requested by you). After a short talk about the tour program and making sure you are ok on the motorbike, we weave around the main streets and narrow alleyways to see 7 districts, lots of must-see attractions, 11 markets, and many interesting things of the city. Firstly, we stop at tourist attractions including Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral and Saigon Central Post Office. Then we drive along Independence Palace, War Remnants Museum, and Turtle Lake. Head to Thich Quang Duc Memorial where you listen to the mysterious story about the unburned heart. Then we drive to Nguyen Thien Thuat apartment building since the 1960s to learn more about the real local life which is totally different from what you see in the city center. After that, we drive to Ho Thi Ky - the biggest wholesale flower market and Cambodian market hidden in alleyways to see thousands of colorful flowers and many strange things. We stop at an 80-year coffee shop hidden in an alley to learn how to make "Vot" coffee, interact with the nice owner, enjoy a drink and chat leisurely with your guides as friends. Arriving in China Town in District 5, we visit Binh Tay Market, Thien Hau Temple and have a drive around brilliant gems including fashion street, painting street, medicine street, electronic market, fabric market, lantern market, fruit market, bird market. On the way back, we show you stilt houses in slum areas along Saigon channels. The scene reflects a sharp contrast between the poor and the rich in the city. Ben Thanh market is the last attraction in the journey. The guide returns you to the hotel. It is time to say goodbye, tour ends but memories last forever.

This was a great experience with Heidi and Lily who showed us the real life of the locals instead of the tourist spots!

Great tour in middle of day so hot! We visited significant sites in Chinatown like flower markets, Chinese Temple & statue of Buddhist Monk who sacrificed his life in 1960s. We stopped for Vietnamese coffee & asked to stop for lunch. Helmets & water supplied by guides.

Riding a scooter in Saigon is a challenging, even scary, proposition. My driver was excellent and I recommend it to anyone who wants to see the real city.
