  • Saigon On Motorbike - TROPICAL FRUIT

Thanks to its diverse climate, Vietnam is blessed with a variety of delicious tropical fruits you must try, such as longan, rambutan, custard-apple, lychee, mangosteen, and more.

  • Saigon On Motorbike - BANH MI (VIETNAMESE BREAD)

Hailed as the best street food in the world by Condé Nast Traveler magazine, banh mi is a must-try dish when visiting Vietnam. This baguette is filled with meat, vegetables, butter, and a spoonful of meat and chili sauce. Customers can choose from a wide range of fillings like fried egg, pate, grilled pork, pork roll, and various vegetables (coriander, cucumber, onion, carrot, etc.). Banh mi is incredibly tasty and sure to satisfy any palate.

  • Ba Thien Hau Temple - OVER 250 YEARS OLD TEMPLE

Ba Thien Hau (Lady of the Sea) Temple in Saigon is a Buddhist temple dedicated to the Chinese sea goddess, Mazu. It is believed that she protected and rescued ships and fishermen by flying around on a mat or cloud. Mazuism incorporates traditions and beliefs from both Taoism and Buddhism. You can find this temple in ‘Cholon’ (Chinatown) in District 5, about a twenty-minute drive from the city center.

  • Saigon On Motorbike - ANCIENT CHURCH SINCE 1986

Located in the bustling District 4, Xom Chieu Church retains its classical architecture, reminiscent of bygone days. The clear and inviting sound of the bell brings peace and serenity to people’s souls, just like in the old days.

  • 287/70 Nguyễn Đình Chiểu - Beneath the house at 287/70 Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City, lies a secret basement. This place once hid more than 2 tons of weapons used by the Saigon Rangers during the war against America, especially during the General Offensive and Uprising in the Spring of Mau Than (1968). Today, young people and foreign tourists love to visit this secret weapons bunker in District 3 to learn more about the heroic fighting period of Vietnam’s ancestors.

Morning food walking tour - Great walking tour with our tour guide Patrick and our 23 month old daughter. Our daughter especially enjoyed climbing down into the underground bunker and back out via the long ladder.

They took us to local places we would never discover on our own, and we learned about the Vietname style of life. Despite the heavy rain on parts of the tour, we enjoyed the evening very much.

Funtastic Bike Tour! - Best choice I’ve made to explore the city and taste Vietnamese food. Lily was my tour guide. She’s young, energetic n bright. Very good at bike riding. We’ve visited the monk statue, Chinese temple, tasting Vietnamese coffee, pancake, sugarcane juice, and pho! I was alone at first but then we joined the Korean tourist. You should try this tour and get this bike experience 👍🏻

Great Food Tour - Tuan was right on time picking me up. We rode to District 3 and he showed around the various markets. I got to try 3 kinds of coffee. Checked out a hidden arms bunker located under a house. We then went on a food tour through the street food area where I got to sample some delicious Vietnamese cuisine. Tuan was very knowledgeable and provided me with answers to any questions that I had. All in all it was a great experience and I got to see and sample things you normally wouldn’t. Thanks Tuan.
