A fantastic biking tour of alleys and markets - This was a fantastic tour!! Our guide was super-friendly, the bikes were in great order and easy to ride, and despite the Saigon traffic, we felt completely safe. We were taken to places we’d never have found by ourselves and biking, rather than a walking tour, allowed us to see many districts. We had a delicious lunch, sampling lots of tropical fruit. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough!

Saigon “Off the beaten path” Cycling Tour - What an amazing experience! My guide, T, was so good! So enthusiastic and informative. We definitely went to places that are off the beaten path. I would do it again tomorrow if I could. The riding is well managed and safe. I never felt unsafe in the traffic as T was always looking out and keeping me informed about turning etc. The visits to all the different back street attractions were so good. This is the “real” Saigon. What a great ride. 11 out of 10. Thanks for the experience and I’ll be sure to make contact and organise a ride on my next trip.

Great bike tour through Saigon - The bike tour was incredibly exciting and interesting. We were guided safely through the busy traffic to different parts of the city. Otherwise, we would not have come to such places where you can experience the authentic life of Saigon. Simply great! The great tour was rounded off by a varied fruit tasting at the local market. The tour guides were simply great!

Amazing cycle tour in Saigon - Our family of 4 had a fantastic bike tour of Saigon with Jackfruit Adventure. Communication before the trip was excellent and the meeting point just down the road from our hotel in District 1. Cycling the backstreets of districts 4, 10 and China Town is an experience not to be missed. We also visited the flower market, a pagoda and markets between the old apartment blocks before purchasing fruit and sampling some local refreshments. Our guides were engaging and knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed their company. The roads of Saigon are busy, but we always felt safe as we negotiated tight alley ways and busy roads. We spent a week enjoying the sights, sounds and flavours of Saigon and I can honestly say this was the best thing we did. I whole heartedly recommend Jackfruit Adventure.

The Great Jackfruit Adventure - This tour was a highlight of our HCMC stay! Our guides (one the owner of the company) were fun, funny, and shared interesting history and information about the Vietnamese people and Vietnam outside of the tourist attractions! We biked to 3 different districts in the city to learn about different ways of life —. like the alley culture where whole communities live and work in the alleyways - and the history of different districts - like the one that used to be massively influenced by the mafia! We drank and ate some local fruit and drinks - “Fruit Party! - that we bought at local markets. We visited an amazing flower market, an apartment building with an umbrella market with its courtyard, and a beautiful pagoda in Cholon/Chinatown where we learned a ton of information about the Chinese history in Saigon. I could go on but suffice it to say we loved every minute of the tour and would highly recommend it to everyone who wants to get out of an air conditioned shuttle bus and actually experience life in Ho Chi Minh City. Thank you Jackfruit!

Great guide, friendly, knowledgeable & great English. Always up for an adventure! - I went on an amazing trip with Dung from Jackfruit Adventures. We traveled all around Saigon and other parts of Vietnam and he was very helpful and friendly. His English is excellent and he connected us with locals wherever we went. We ate amazing local food and saw some of Vietnam's best sights. Our tour was via motorbike and I imagine any tour Dung offers will be top-notch. I would definitely use them again!

Experience local life in Ho Chi Minh! - As Dutchmen’s we try to join local cycle tours in every large city which we visit. In Ho Chi Minh we enjoyed a private tour with our family (incl. young kids). Enjoyed the tour and really experienced local life (sights, food, way-of-life)! Guides were very friendly and helpful. Owner is very committed to make this tour a success and even joined a tour in Kuala Lumpur based on our recommendation!
