Highlights
  • Scooter Saigon Tours - 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.

Additional Information

A visit to the most popular tourist attractions in Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) and learn more about the architecture, history, and less-known stories is a must thing to do in the city. However, we will do it in a different and fun way on the back of a motorbike. A plus to a normal city tour is zipping through the huge network of alleyways, see lots of hidden brilliant gems, learn how to make a cup of the special Vot coffee, enjoy a drink while chatting leisurely with the nice female guide and the owner at a 80-year coffee shop.

Scooter riding is seeing the real HCM City - Riding a scooter in Saigon is a challenging, even scary, proposition. My driver was excellent and I recommend it to anyone who wants to see the real city.

Ho Chi Minh City tour by scooter - We had an excellent tour with Yudan and Linh as our introduction to Ho Chi Minh City. They were very knowledgeable about all the different sights as well as the friendliest hosts one could hope for. They zipped us around the city on their scooters and we were in safe hands. They are highly recommended

Great experience - My sister and me went on a tour with Linh and Kai. They both were extremely friendly, they met us on time at the Saigon opera house for a scooter tour off the beaten tracks in Saigon. Both were good drivers and had a very good command of English (esp. Linh with no accent at all!). The places we visited helped us a lot to better understand Vietnamese history and everyday life. This tour was one of the highlights of our vacation. We really had fun amidst many other scooters in Saigons traffic.

Great way of seeing most areas of the city - 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!
