An unforgettable way to experience Saigon — 10/10!

5.00I did the Vespa tour today with Yudan and his team, and it was an absolute 10/10 experience. Riding through Saigon’s famously chaotic traffic on the back of a Vespa is thrilling and incredibly immersive — something you simply can’t experience any other way. Along the route we made several food stops featuring dishes we never would have found on our own, and Yudan and the team shared fascinating historical and cultural insights that made the tour feel truly meaningful. A huge thank you to Yudan and the entire team for an unforgettable evening. If you’re visiting Ho Chi Minh City, this tour is an absolute must — highly recommended!

5.00Our family consisting of 3 teenagers and 2 parents were picked up on time by a cheerful bunch of drivers on great looking vintage vespas. We cruised around ho chi minh which was exciting and fun, dodging traffic and heading to some awesome food places. Always felt safe, had lots of fun with the crew and again the food was brilliant everywhere. The night tour is a great way to get beyond the usual places, feel the buzz of the city and spend some time with locals. All with the difference of being on the back of some old italian relics! Thoroughly recommend!
A Unique experience around Ho Chi Minh City

5.00I asked for a specialist tour of 5 military museums all containing aircraft. They gave me a brilliant quote and I booked it for the next morning. Like most Asian cities, Ho Chi Minh is OWNED by small motorbikes/Vespas, they are also the EASIEST and QUICKEST way of travelling around the city.. Vespa a Go Go not only provided me with an OUTSTANDING tour, the guide was perfectly fluent in English and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER. My Vespa driver couldn't speak English but was kind, considerate and a TOP CLASS DRIVER with SAFETY his ultimate priority. As this was a "Specialist Tour" I also got to see a lot of the city, the amazing temples, palaces and UNIQUE city architecture that MOST other tour companies will NOT offer you. An added bonus was a few photos of me at these Temples/Palaces and on the back of my drivers Vespa courtesy of Vespa a Go Go I can say with 100% accuracy that when you come to Ho Chi Minh City you would be CRAZY not to book a tour with Vespa a Go Go.

5.00We loved it. We took a private tour with Khoa & the gang. They were so attentive and very generous, knowledgeable AND have a big love for their city. They took us safely around the districts & shared insights & insides of the history of Saigon. They even got us Bahn Mi & Coffee. Mostly the tour gave us a sense of pride for the future of Vietnam because Khoa & the team are the age of our own kids & they were so professional and fabulous. We highly recommend Secrets of Saigon.
Vintage Vespas fun interesting places

5.00We wanted to go to a heap of thrift/vintage shops and wanted to combine that with a Vespa ride. I contacted Vespa a go go and right away they got back to me straight away and were very open to our ideas. They sent me an itinerary and cost and we were on our way the next day. ‘V’ was so lovely, and she directed the group, they managed to find these shops we found on google and they admitted they had never heard of some of these shops, so they were surprised when we got to each one and how good they were. I can’t recommend these guys enough. They create an itinerary to suit your needs and we’re very professional.
