          Our talented guide with the motorbike picks you up at your hotel (or any location requested by you). After a short talk about the tour program and making sure you are ok on the motorbike, we weave around the main streets and narrow alleyways to see 7 districts, lots of must-see attractions, 11 markets, and many interesting things of the city. Firstly, we stop at tourist attractions including Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral and Saigon Central Post Office. Then we drive along Independence Palace, War Remnants Museum, and Turtle Lake. Head to Thich Quang Duc Memorial where you listen to the mysterious story about the unburned heart. Then we drive to Nguyen Thien Thuat apartment building since the 1960s to learn more about the real local life which is totally different from what you see in the city center. After that, we drive to Ho Thi Ky - the biggest wholesale flower market and Cambodian market hidden in alleyways to see thousands of colorful flowers and many strange things. We stop at an 80-year coffee shop hidden in an alley to learn how to make "Vot" coffee, interact with the nice owner, enjoy a drink and chat leisurely with your guides as friends. Arriving in China Town in District 5, we visit Binh Tay Market, Thien Hau Temple and have a drive around brilliant gems including fashion street, painting street, medicine street, electronic market, fabric market, lantern market, fruit market, bird market. On the way back, we show you stilt houses in slum areas along Saigon channels. The scene reflects a sharp contrast between the poor and the rich in the city. Ben Thanh market is the last attraction in the journey. The guide returns you to the hotel. It is time to say goodbye, tour ends but memories last forever.

          Full day of excitement in Ho Chi Minh City
          We did the “Mix of Touristy and Non Touristy Places” tour. It was very well organized and thorough. Tracey from Saigon Scooter Tours was very easy to communicate with, and helped cater our schedule. Lani the tour guide spoke excellent English, and was able to describe the sites and locations in detail. She took us to the War Remnants museum, a flower market, a wonderful temple, and walking around various places. We also enjoyed a cyclo ride which gave us a feel for the frenetic pace of traffic while we enjoyed the vistas. Finally one of our highlights of the tour was eating like a local. We went to a very old coffee shop where the owner described his generations old process, and a locals restaurant for a tasty and fresh lunch. Fantastic day!

          Excellent from start to finish. Lani was very informative, helpful and interesting. The Cu Chi tunnels are not to be missed together with a drive around Saigon, an authentic Vietnamese lunch and views from the Bitexco Tower. Fabulous.

          Super Experience in HCMC!
          We loved this tour with Jaden and his team of drivers! It was a great way to see the street life of HCMC away from the dazzle of District 1. The local food tastings were delicious and we had great conversation with all the students. It was the highlight of our visit to the city!

          Amazing experience - highly recommend
          I can not recommend this tour enough, particularly for Australians to learn and understand our history here. Nam is a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and cannot be more helpful and willing to ensure you enjoy your day. Being able to lay flowers at the Long Tan memorial, Nam playing the Last Post and stopping to reflect on the Australians lost and those who returned changed forever is a very moving experience.

          Private walking street food tour with Heidi
          Heidi was awesome! She selected some great spots for us to try. We don’t have dietary restrictions but she is very accommodating if you do. She provided bottled water, hand wipes, meals were paid for and we were driven to an area by the flower district known for street food. She told us about the food, how to eat the food and any historical details as necessary. Heidi was easy to talk to and we enjoyed her company. We enjoyed the food she recommended (savory and sweet treats).

          Night food tour
          Our family (2 adults, 3 teenagers)absolutely loved our night. It is definitely a highlight of our trip to Vietnam. It was great being able to experience what it is like being on a scooter in the chaotic traffic, and we felt safe the whole time. We went to places that we never would have found ourselves and the food was flavoursome. Our guides were fun, friendly and informative. Thanks to our guides Thanh, Yến, Phụng, Kim and Mieka.

          Tracy from Saigon Scooter was very helpful in arranging an air-conditioned car and a driver. Our young driver was fantastic he slowed down each time we saw something interesting so we could take photos.

          Amazing tour with wonderful young guides
          We loved the scooter tour. Our young guides were amazing. They were fun and showed us some fascinating areas of HCMC that we wouldn’t have seen without them. The ride was awesome and they navigate the crazy traffic with expertise. This was definitely a highlight of our trip to Vietnam.

          We were created by three great students who made showed us some great sights that you would not normally come across. Their local knowledge was perfect. They made us feel safe on the bikes at all times. Lots of laughs. Would highly recommend this tour for those that want to go off the beaten track!

          Our favorite night in Vietnam!! So authentic, great food, amazing guides!
          My friend and I chose a private food tour because we have some dietary restrictions and wanted to still try as much food as possible. Our guides Linh and Lily were so accommodating and found the best food!! We had such a great time speaking to them and traveling around the city together. The whole experience felt very authentic. They spoke prefect English and we really got a chance to talk about life in Vietnam and learn more about the foods we were eating.

        Fantastic motorbike tour around Ho Chi Minh today with Eddie and his co driver. Both were safe and confident drivers as we whizzed through the city. Eddie was very knowledgeable about all the places we stopped at and was able to answer any questions we had. We visited places we would have never seen as a tourist and it ended at a local restaurant with best pho we have had so far on our Vietnam trip .5 🌟 to both of you would highly recommend 👌

        My scooter driver was called Heidi she was a very pleasant person that made you feel very welcome. A great and knowledgeable Scooter driver I felt safe on the back. As we wound through the streets she was always asking questions and interested about me and if I had questions about the areas we were in she had great knowledge about everywhere, I highly recommend this company if you are looking for a scooter tour in Saigon it is second to none.our guide Ramsey was incredibly knowledgeable about vietnam and the history of the land, what an experience.

        We had such a great time with Lily and Linh! The perfect girl's day out. They're careful but confident riders who were happy to tailor the tour to our preferences. They showed us parts of Saigon we'd never otherwise have experienced so we're really grateful for that. Great conversation, super levels of English fluency and genuine passion for their amazing city and culture. Thank you!!

        Two lovely ladies met us outside the hotel, introduction to them, Lucie and Kimmy were kind and patient. They told us where we were going and what not to do on the bike. The traffic is chaotic but on the back of a moped it make sense! We went at 3pm, yes it's hot, wear sunscreen, but you get the best of day, rush hour and sunset.
        Really enjoyed the excitement of being in the traffic, all the different stops, flower market, coffee stop to name a few.
        Thank you to Lucie and Kimmy for making our time out with you safe and fun!

        An amazing tour with our exceptional guides namely Ramseyle & Tom. My husband & I enjoyed this tour immensely, Our guides Ramseyle & Tom are so knowledgeable & even though we had visited Vietnam many times before we learnt so much new history & information from a locals perspective. A highlight of the tour was enjoying a coffee at Saigons oldest cafe established in 1938. We always felt completely safe on the back of the bike as both guides were careful & courteous riders. Thank you Ramseyle & Tom for this unforgettable experience.

        We had the most wonderful time sightseeing Saigon with Heidi! We started with breakfast and a coffee - Delicious 😋 and she showed us so many amazing places and sights of the city ! She was so knowledgeable and so much fun !

        We were unsure whether a motorcycle tour would be ok for our family of five (kids aged 8, 12 and 15), but we are SO GLAD WE DID THIS!! We had such a fun morning with our awesome local guides on the 4 hour Unseen Saigon tour. The five of us were on 5 bikes with 5 drivers (3 female, 2 male). We all wore helmets, were looked after superbly by our friendly and professional guides and felt safe the whole time. There is nothing like being among the locals, in the traffic, traveling the way they do. The traffic is organized chaos, and our drivers were very skilled in making our way through it. The locations visited included a local apartment building, memorial, markets, back streets and alleys, church, temple , pagoda and coffee shop that you won’t see any other way. Can’t recommend this tour highly enough. Our tour guides felt more like friends and we will treasure our photos of the morning we spent with them in Saigon. A huge thanks to Shane, Peter, Mi, Thao and Vy- you guys are the best!

        We booked this tour the day before and had an amazing time. Communication about the booking was easy and tour guides were on time. My guide Ramsey was so knowledgeable and friendly. She knew loads of history and I liked how comfortable it was with her. We thought the tour was great value for money, and her driving was great. Would highly recommend this tour with Ramsey as your guide! Thank you!
