Fun motorbike through the back streets of HCMC - Wonderful tour by motorbike and waterbus.
My guide took me all around the city. We went to the flower market, several buddhist sites. The pagoda Vinh Nghiem dedicated to people passing from this world to the next . A real walking market where vendors sold all sorts of meats and fruits & vegetables. Very cool.
We also visited the oldest apartment building in HCMC and toured that neighborhood. We also covered some staples such as the post office and the Notre Dame cathedral.
I would recommend this tour because it covers such a varied view of life in Saigon.

Recommend the operator and tour - I had Eddie take me around the city on his Scooter. A local uni student happy to have discussions and share local knowledge.
I originally missed this tour booking due to a delayed flight, but am please to say that the communication from the operator was above and beyond. They even suggested alternate times to try and make it work.
To suit me, we did the tour in the evening to fit around my other bookings, and it was great.
