Hands down the best tour I've ever been on. The staff went above and beyond to make the tour exceptional. We had some amazing food, got to see Saigon up close, and made some great memories. Highly, highly recommend!

Ms Hao and Ms Nhi were hilarious, generous and very sharp in their night-time tour of Ho Chi Minh City’s restaurants and back streets. We learnt about so much apart from food, and the food itself was glorious. It was a night we won’t forget. Thank you and good luck Ms Hao and Ms Nhi

Surely one of the very best ways to explore the real Saigon and to experience daily life - and some amazing food, first hand. Of course it also helps to be accompanied by two of the most FANTASTIC guides - Kim and Tao, who were knowledgable, interesting and lots of fun - and excellent motorbike drivers! This tour should be compulsory for anyone wishing to really get to know Saigon! AMAZING!

Great night out with Ai Truc and Phuong around Simon last night. Great fun and food along with information about the country Please do this if you get a chance

Such an incredible, authentic Vietnam experience - not to be missed. Lovely drivers/hosts, amazing local food and sightseeing. Couldn’t fault the experience. So lovely of them to accomodate for our dietary requirements as we went from local food vendor to the next. Everyone from our 7 yo son, our teenage boys, adults - all loved the experience. Best thing we’ve done in Vietnam. Thank you to Back of the Bike tours for looking after our family so well.

My husband and I did this yesterday as we had very limited time in Saigon and thought this was a good way to use our time. It was absolutely the right choice. Our guides Tien and Ai were 2 delightful young women and there was also one extra rider who rode ahead to make sure everything was ready for our visit at each vendor. Tien and Ai were very competent riders in Saigon’s hectic traffic. I didn’t once feel uncomfortable or scared on the bike! The food we ate was nothing we’d had before and we would not have found these places to eat either. One was tucked away through alley after alley of back streets in district 10. My favourite stop was the second where we sampled the most delicious sea snails in coconut broth, 2 different dishes of clams, and morning glory with finger (razor) clams. Then we were served a delicious crab dish. There were 5 stops altogether. And we were dropped back at our hotel at the end. All in all an exciting experience which we are so glad we did.

Kim took me on a fabulous tour to many out of the way places to sample some of Ho Chi Minh’s best dishes. Being on the back of her motorcycle during peak hour traffic took things to the next level! Her “wingman” Dung (trust I got that right) also did an amazing job. I have done many food tours in Asia recently and this one is up there as one of the best! Highly recommend.

My husband and I absolutely loved the foodie night out on the back of the bikes. We would never have taken ourselves to the places we were taken to or ordered some of the food that was cooked for us. The two drivers of the bikes were amazing! They were very experienced and put us at ease in the busy traffic right from the start. They both spoke very good English and were very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information with us. They were very bubbly, fun and exciting and it was obvious they enjoyed what they did on these tours. They were very easy to get along with which made the evening very enjoyable. Thanks so much for the best night out and we would definitely recommend this trip to everyone!

We did the Back of the Bike Food Tour and it was fantastic. Very competent and thoughtful drivers who took good care of us but still made sure we got a real taste of being on a scooter in Ho Chi Minh City!! Great food to in places that we probably wouldn’t have gone to without their guidance. Thoroughly recommend tour. Great fun.

An absolute highlight of my families 2 week tour of Vietnam. Really really good fun, great guides (all of whom are girls) and something I’d highly recommend for anyone going to Saigon. It all kicked off with our 4 guides rocking up to our hotel on these scooters, intros were done, helmets issued, and we were given a short safety brief on the tour which was about to unfold. We kicked off, the girls drive, you just sit on the back as they weave their magic charging through the bustle known as Ho Chi Minh. It’s initially, like ‘what the heck, are we going to be ok or are we gonna eat asphalt’!!! I’m normally the one on the front, so to be a pillion was weird, but after only a few minutes I was like, this is cool. Cat, my driver has it all in hand. The girls, yes they are all girls, can ride, drive; call it what you will. My wife was with her rider, my son and daughter with theirs respectfully as we motored through town heading for our first destination. All of which were outside of District 1, so we got to see where the locals actually tend to eat. We were amongst a larger group of around 25-30 people. If you don’t feel comfortable being on the back of a bike, we also noticed that they have the option of being driven in a car and joining the rest of your group at each stop, but in our case, we loved being amongst the traffic so didn’t require this options. We went to 5 restaurants tasting their individual speciality dishes (complete with free flowing drinks). We stayed for around say 30-45 mins in each location, trialling different food whilst slotting a quick beer, juice, ice tea or whatever your preference is, before we pressed onto the next restaurant. Also just to note, my wife is allergic to shellfish which we let them know in advance and they were easily able to accommodate this. One of the other great things about this tour is that they have multiple people riding bikes alongside you who are taking photos & videos all the way. We ended up getting over 40 photos/videos emailed to us the next day which was fantastic. All up I think the tour went for around 4.5 hours which sounds like a long time but in reality, it whizzes by as its such good fun. Let me just say that you will not leave this tour hungry, and you will end up with photos/videos of your experience. Well worth the investment in my opinion.

One of the highlights of our month-long trip to Vietnam was the Back of the Bike tour! My sister and her husband had done it five years ago and loved it so much that they booked the same tour for us when we went back with our parents this year. My mum was very nervous at first because she had never ridden on a motorbike before, but each of the tour guides was matched up with us perfectly. The guide that my mum got was very kind and considerate and consented to having my mum wrap her arms around her. However, my mum quickly got very comfortable. After the first couple of rides, she was the only one out of the five of us who didn’t hang onto anything while riding the bike! She was just like a local. ;) We got the Chefs tour and each place we went to was thoughtfully selected and explained to us. There was plenty of food; each of the guides made sure that if we wanted anything more or different, we would get it. We got to try so many different drinks and food! And we were so truly well taken care of. For example, both my parents felt quite pampered when the guides were getting the crab meat out of the shells for all of us; normally, it’s my parents who do that for us kids so this was a real treat for them! (If you’re Asian, especially, you will understand. :D) Our trip was already a couple of months ago now, but whenever I talk to my mum on the phone, she always brings up how she wants to be back on the bike. 🙂 Thank you so much to Lan, Phuong Anh, Kim Anh, Ai & Uyen for being so absolutely lovely, kind, and considerate. We had so much fun with all of you; you made my parents so happy and I cannot thank you all enough for that! The pictures that were taken are such happy memories that we will treasure forever. (Many thanks to the two gentlemen who were part of the group, as well!)

My favorite experience on our trip to Vietnam! Kim Anh and Linh were amazing guides, taking us to 5 different delicious spots on their bikes. The bikes are the best way to see Saigon, a very comfortable experience. I felt nervous at first but acclimated very quickly, and our guides made us feel safe. It was so lovely to have Kim Ang and Linh introduce us to some local foods, and to make the experience seamless by picking us up from our hotel, shepherding us from place to place and dealing with the parking, the ordering, and dropping us back off. It feels like a true VIP experience. Along the way, we took lots of photos that they shared with us later, and they gifted us with a brochure of personalized recommendations at the end of the tour. I really can’t recommend this tour enough. A huge thanks to Kim Anh and Linh for the best possible intro to Ho Chi Minh City.

My wife and I were guided by Kim Anh and Linh to some very unique eating experiences in HCM. They tailored our orders to match our more-adventurous tastes to included baby quail egg and Durian desert. Getting around on the scooters is great and not at all scary. Beyond the food, getting to know these local guides over a few shared meals and learning about how they live in HCM is what really sets this tour apart.

We had a free evening in HCMC and thought this would be a fun way to see the city and try a bunch of great food. We were right! Nhung, Tham and Tuan meet us at our hotel right on time, gave us an orientation and off we went! First, from a safety and comfort standpoint, any reservations we had about being on scooters were fine by the first stop. Nhung and Tham, our drivers and personal guides were expert drivers and we felt secure and comfortable the whole time. If you choose this tour, come hungry because there are a lot of stops and everything we tried was great. All the food was a highlight. That said, for us, the highlights of the highlights were: First stop of papaya salad with beef; second stop of wraps and rolls (this was a highlight especially because of the time Tham and Nhung spent explaining the different herbs that were offered for the wraps); third stop of pork skewers (so simple, but amazing!); fifth stop of seafood (sea snails, prawns, razor clams…) might have been our favorite for the combination of great food and a fun setting; final stop for dessert (che thai with durian and the soursop smoothie were terrific). After we admitted that we couldn’t eat any more, Tham and Nhung dropped us back at our hotel. None of this would have been as good without Tuan, who went ahead to each spot to ensure that we had tables, parking and orders placed for quick service when we arrived. Apart from the tour itself, it was great to be able to talk and share meals with our guides for an extended period of time instead of the typical tour where the guides are primarily there to lecture and answer questions. This was truly interactive. Back of the Bike Tours is a first class operation and was prompt and easy to work with before and after the tour.

My family and I had an amazing experience riding on the back of bikes around Ho Chi Minh City and sampling amazing authentic Vietnamese cuisine at 5 different locations. As well as being a good feed the bikers took us through over half of the city districts which provided a great overview of the city and major attractions. The areas visited included picturesque alley ways that are only known by the locals providing a good insight into Vietnamese daily life. Tun, Phong, Anh and Thao were all very knowledgeable guides as well as charming entertaining hosts. We would consider the tour the highlight of the holiday!
