The tour was absolutely great. - We got an exciting insight into the history, religion and life of the people of Saigon. Our guides were very attentive and communicative. We really enjoyed the exchange with you. Both were safe riders and we felt very safe on the scooters with them. We can definitely recommend the tour.

Amazing tour with wonderful young guides - We loved the scooter tour. Our young guides were amazing. They were fun and showed us some fascinating areas of HCMC that we wouldn’t have seen without them. The ride was awesome and they navigate the crazy traffic with expertise. This was definitely a highlight of our trip to Vietnam.

Amazing motor bike tour in Ho Chi Minh City - Heidi was my guide and she was extremely nice. She has great English and she’s very knowledgeable about the different parts that we visited. She also has great conversation. As I took a tour the night before to some of the places included in this one, I asked to have a couple of variants and she was great accommodating and making the experience awesome! Definite it’s a must-do!

Amazing tour with superb tourguides - This is a must if you are in Saigon. Our two tour guides, Thao and Quang, were amazing. My husband and I felt very safe on the mopeds with our expert guides who were very interesting and informative. We saw parts of the City which we had not visited as part of our official tour with our travel company. Our two guides were incredibly generous too and bought my husband a cake to celebrate his birthday. A fabulous tour and highly recommend.

Awesome tour with local experience - Just would like to provide a quick positive feedback on my experience with my tour guide (Thanh) that I attended his scooter tour on Sunday morning. He arrived on time (even a bit earlier like 10 mins before 8am). He greeted me professionally to introduce himself and briefly discussed the travel plan for the morning in an orderly manner. He emphasised the necessary to wear a helmet as it's for safety and required by a traffic law, which is what I was impressed as safety is the most important thing. He is friendly, knowledgeable, pleasant to deal with, generous to order the broken rice with grilled pork with my requirement to have less rice, and served me many glasses of cold tea as I was thirsty from the hot weather. He explained in details about the history of Vietnam in general, the story of the Buddhist monk who burnt himself that created a turning point to the geopolitic of Vietnam's future, and we also discussed about religions, economics, investment ideas, and our personal lives. It was a memorable experience that I won't get anywhere else if I join a commercial tour in a big group. But, when I join this tour with Thanh, I get a personalised experience that we can spend time to do some deeptalk and get to know him as a local Vietnamese person. So, this tour experience really fulfilled my perspective of Vietnam to know the insight from the local's eyes like Thanh. I ended up happily giving him a tip for his excellent service. I wish him all the best for his study and future endeavour 🙂 I also thank the customer service team for being accommodative while I was worrying about flying through a big Typhoon from Japan to Vietnam.

Brilliant scooter tour in back alleys. Heaps of fun! - This was a such great scooter trip with a safe and helpful student driver. He was thoughtful and informative and asked where I'd already been so we didn't duplicate anything. We went down some amazing lesser known areas I would never have found myself. I'm in my 50s and felt safe but I still held on tight on the chaotic traffic. My guide was the best.
