This tour (and Hao) is the best! The best thing I did in Saigon and my favorite tour after 3 weeks in Vietnam! - My tour with Hao was my favorite tour that I have done in my 3 week trip across Vietnam. Many of my tours have been with a group, but this tour was one-on-one so I was able to get to ask more questions and get to have a more personalized experience. Hao is very friendly and I can tell that he really enjoys giving tours and showing his city/country. He was easy to understand and a great storyteller. The food he got me for lunch was my favorite noodle dish I’ve had in Saigon and he also got me a juice and coffee which were delicious. Doing the tour on the scooter was a game changer, especially with how hot it is in Saigon. It was nice not to have to walk everywhere and also to be more agile than in a mini van. Hao also does a good tour that I wish I had more time to do! 10/10 would recommend this tour!

Fabulous morning with great guides - We had an amazing morning with our guides Linh and Thao. The girls made us feel very comfortable on the back of the bikes. Their knowledge and English is 10 out if 10. We enjoyed everywhere they took us, the good food, sugar cane juice and coffee stop were all great. I cannot recommend these girls highly enough

So many stops and information in just the right amount of time - Upon arrival in Ho Chi Minh we just thought this was any other major city but we were pleasantly surprised. Hao and Thong biked us around and made the city vibrant explaining culture, history and food. They were so helpful recommending local things to do after the trip and we highly recommend.

Delicious Food and Great Guide! - Hao was awesome! Exceptionally courteous and super knowledgeable about the city overall. Great conversations with him, and definitely knows how to navigate traffic on his scooter! I felt completely safe riding with him, and I usually ride my own motorcycle. Plus, he gave great recommendations for later in the day!

A fun way to see the city - The tour was great. It was fun zipping around on a scooter amongst the traffic, going to see the sites (a weapons bunker, the flower market and original apartment buildings, to name some of the spots) and great being able to stop at local spots for food. We tasted noodles, had sugar cane juice and of course stopped for coffee. Gia Linh was a great guide. She was friendly, knowledgeable and able to adapt the tour based on my questions and requests - even helping me find a place to buy coffee beans. It was a great way to see the city.

Insightful tour lead by brilliant guides who show how much they care about every aspect - Super cool and fun tour thanks to the team of Hao, Thong (Steve), and Linh for their knowledgeable and helpful insights on the daily lives of HCMC/Saigon residents. Maneuvering through the streets on their scooters with us in tow, they shared the impact of historical events on the city’s culture and what it means to the future of these communities (Buddhists, North and South Vietnamese). They paired these moments with stops at food and drinks spots that were refreshing breaks from the frenzied happenings of the city (trust them on Hủ tiếu, egg coffee, and literally anything else they say). I didn’t know what to expect from the itinerary and the couple hours of the tour went by so fast because it was such a delightful experience. What a thoughtful and kind team. Thanks for the opportunity to learn and experience so much.

Great tour with amazing food! - I had a fantastic tour with Hao! He was very friendly and had great knowledge about the history of HCMC and the places we went to see. The local food stalls we went to were amazing and he even gave me some wonderful tips for restaurants to explore on my own! I absolutely recommend this tour as it gives you an amazing way to experience HCMC!

Saigon food tour by scooter! - We had an amazing tour with Hao and Thong, showing us the local specialties. They were very eager to share their knowledge about Vietnamese culture and cuisine - (and interested in hearing about our culture as well). Would highly recommend this tour!
