“Awesome tour visiting many parts of HCMC that you would otherwise not see”

Reviewed 30 April 2013

Our tour guides took us all over HCMC, stopping for a great local coffee and the BEST pho imaginable! Definitely book this tour. I was initially a bit nervous on the bike but after about 20 minutes I was so relaxed I was taking photos with both hands on the camera. One thing, try to get a scooter rider/your guide... More

“fantastic tour”

Reviewed 24 April 2013

I found the tour very insightful, you get to travel away from the tourist spots and have a feel for the true Saigon and how the locals live, visiting the crazy markets, temples, driving around lots of different neirbourhoods and districts, having lunch and drinks with the locals....Ut, my driver, was lovely very keen in explaining everything to me. Even... More

“See Another Side of Saigon”

Reviewed 28 March 2013

This tour came highly recommended and we were not disappointed. I am a woman in my 50's and had never been on the back of a motorbike so I was a little apprehensive. All my fears melted away as we started our half day tour...which is actually 5 hours! I loved the freedom of being on the bike and almost... More

“An exciting and perfect way to see Ho Chi Minh City”

We chose to do a walking tour as my boyfriend had had a motorbike accident in South America a few years ago and swore never to get on another motorbike.
