Small-group Saigon City Tour: 3-Hour Cyclo Ride to Hidden Stories
Overview
Available languages
3 hours
Mobile ticket
Xích Lô (say it out loud and you’ll hear the word – Cy-clo!) was one of the most popular taxi services in the early 20th century, and is still the best way to experience Sài Gòn’s insane traffic and wonderful city scenes. We designed this three-hour tour for who would enjoy glimpses of local, daily life in Sài Gòn. This “authentic” way allows visitors to discover the city center in intense emotions. It’s like you are in the center of a whirlwind of movement, wrapped in a cacophony of horns and the bustle of people who trying to make their way in the middle of all this excitement.

5.00What a great afternoon we had with Luan. He was a great guide and we had such fun travelling around Saigon in an old US army jeep. He was very informative and accommodating. He is a first class guide. I highly recommend him.

Novel Experience

5.00A trip to remember !! Being ridden slowly through the throngs of weaving motorcycles and cars the synchronicity of the traffic movement is even more stark. The guys doing the cycling in the heat and fumes deserve medals. Our tour guide, Daniel, was a pleasant and knowledgeable person who showed us around the flower and Chinese markets before visiting a temple. Would recommend as a novel experience.

5.00We did a tour with Joey and our three cyclo riders. We went to the flower market and sampled some drinks freshly made in front of us and Joey was very informative about the flower market and showed us how to fold the lotus flower and explained about thelotus Silk. Then off again to a chinese temple. Last stop was the french designed post office. Wich was not part of the original plan but the original planned markwt was closed and the otherone she was going to take us to we had already been to. So Joey arranged the riders totake us to the post office. We had a great time. Just sitting in the cyclo while the riders navigate the traffic is an experience.
