What To Expect
Ho Chi Minh City
Your personal English-speaking tour guide will be waiting for you in the hotel lobby to greet you. We will provide you with a quick briefing on how to ride safely and what you need to do while seated behind us on the motorbikes. Hold on tight, and let's begin an exciting adventure!
Phố Tau Sai Gon (Chợ Lớn Quận 5)
We will go with the flow of traffic during the rush hour but we guarantee it's not a big problem since we are good drivers. After 20 - 25 minutes, we will be completely outside of those tourist destinations and be at real local vendors, where you have a chance to try Vietnamese pancakes while learning about the history and also special significant of each dish.

5.00This was such a unique experience. We got the feel of the city and tried new delicious foods for the first time. Riding around on scooters in rush hour traffic was crazy but super fun. It added to the experience of the local culture and will be one of the most memorable experiences of our Vietnam trip. Even with the chaotic traffic, we felt safe the entire time. Tien and the rest of the crew made us feel welcome and Tien did a great job explaing the history and culture of the different foods and sites. Thank you for offering a vegetarian option for us that don't eat meat. Even though my family does eat meat, they loved the food too!
