Ho Chi Minh City
Our talented guide with the motorbike picks you up at your hotel (or any location requested by you). After a short riding instruction and program introduction, we hop on the motorbike. The guide makes sure you are ok on the motorbike before weaving the city to explore brilliant hidden gems in 8 districts.
Ho Chi Minh City
The first stop is Venerable Thich Quang Duc Monument where you listen to less-known history and story about the monk and his unburned heart. Head to District 3 and a Nguyen Thien Thuat apartment buildings since the 1960s to see the real Saigon local life which is totally different from life in the city center.

Tour guide Lily was wonderful. She was very personable and informative. She took me all over Saigon to see places I’ve never seen before. We even got a chance to have coffee in one of the historic family-owned coffee places in town. We even went through some back roads that tourists rarely see. This tour was well worth the money. Recommend.!

The guides were so nice and helpful and they took us exactly to the places we wanted to see. The explanation about the places were interesting and the side talk live in the city also.

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