A blast of a night - 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

The very BEST way to explore the real Saigon! - 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!

Fantastic experience - absolute just do in Saigon - 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.

Best way to spend an afternoon - 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.

A Can’t Miss Tour - 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.

Great food and conversation - 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.

Delicious food with fun people... an adventure or to be missed - I cannot recommend this tour enough. Some facts about me and how this tour worked.
I'm almost 300lbs but it was no issue for me to sit on the back of this bike while a tiny woman drove around.
I'm somewhat adventurous but still American enough to get squeamish sometimes. The tour guides were so encouraging. This is definitely for someone who is willing to try new foods. Be brave. It's worth it. I tried everything and have no regrets. There was so much delicious food.
They did a great job at explaining things in English. And my driver talked about the city as she drove.
Pictures and videos of this experience are a must and one of the staff took amazing shots of us in traffic, eating the food, etc.
The variety of food was amazing!!! They curate the choices so well and the tour guides stand in as friends/family so you can try so many dishes. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Delicious and delectable.
Basically, don't be scared. Once I rode on the back of the bike, I felt like HCM was easier to understand for the food, the traffic, the people.
Go!! Book this tour on your first day.

10/10 Recommend - Loved the experience, our tour guides were talkative and knowledgeable on the city and food, made for a very fun and educational tour.
Also the tour guides were excellent drivers. Would recommend this tour to anyone who has never been to Saigon or want to try local Vietnamese spots.

Fabulous back of bike experience!! - We loved the whole experience! The amazingly good quality & fresh food we got to sample at a variety of eateries (and park), the fun experience of riding on the back of motorbikes in the chaotic traffic but feeling safe at the same time and of course our 2 wonderful guides (Thung & Mee?) who were so friendly, warm, fun and professional. Would totally recommend this to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City. Thank you so much, from Darren & Kaye.
