Our concept is to show travelers a different side to Saigon, it's not always pretty but it is pretty amazing.Our aim is to provide a unique view that combines traveling on the back of a motorbike through the mayhem and chaos that are Saigon streets. « less

A friend and I enjoyed being shown around Saigon by the friendly vietnamese drivers. With a flexible itinerary, nothing was a problem. I highly recommend if you want to get a true feel for Saigon and to experience the sights, sounds and smells of this amazing place, to jump on the back of a motorbike with these guys and enjoy...

My partner and I did the Saigon Unseen Tour on 01/01/12. It was fantastic! Definitely the highlight of our visit to Ho Chi Minh City! It also came as the perfect finish to our time in Ho Chi Minh, and put the fast changing city into perspective for us! There was only my partner and I on the tour and... More

My wife and adult son enjoyed a morning tour and it was extraordinary. Always felt safe as guides had great local knowledge and revealed a side of Saigon we would never had experienced on out own. Some of the areas we explored will be gone soon due to development so felt fortunate to have seen this side of Saigon. The... More

Like many, I chose this tour based on the reviews that I read on Trip Advisor. I contacted Saigon Unseen via email prior to my arrival, set a date and time for the tour and Adam Hurley showed up right on time on his motorbike to show me around his adopted hometown. Firstly, we chatted over a coffee and he... More

Careful and nice drivers took us around and from the slums to the new districts of the very rich, everything was in. Good breaks with local coffee and noudle soup lunch. The driving through the street markets is crazy, but memorable, and driving was feeling very safe in reference to the environment... More

Wow, what can I say? this is one of the best things I have ever done in Ho Chi Minh City. I was a little hesitant at first about braving the traffic in Ho Chi Minh on the back of a motorbike driven by a complete stranger. But as it turned out, I had no cause to be concerned. We... More

My girlfriend and I are just back from our Saigon Unseen tour - what can we say, in a word it was fantastic. Sau and Xau (apologies if these are spelt wrong) were great drivers even if everyone else in Saigon seems not to be, my nervous girlfriend was put quickly at ease by the driving; and Sau's English and...

This was definitely one of the highlights to this great city. As advertised they showed us places that we would never have discovered on our own. We saw the city and it's many manifestations - rich and poor, religious sites, markets, sweat shops, and many interesting back alleys. The tour demonstrated how the urban landscape is changing and swallowing up... More
