Our concept is to show travelers a different side to Saigon, it's not always pretty but it is pretty amazing.Our aim is to provide a unique view that combines traveling on the back of a motorbike through the mayhem and chaos that are Saigon streets. « less

My husband and I had been pounding the pavement in HCMC in the relentless heat for a few days and were feeling a little defeated as a result. We wanted to see more of the city but are a little averse to group tours so decided to give this tour a go. Our drivers for the day were Ut and... More

This is a great way to see the city if you are a lone traveller. Sorted it all through email with Adam, who was efficient and gave me lots of advice! Even double checked the day before to make sure I was still up for it! Sau came to pick me up in the morning at 8am and took me... More

HCMC was our first stop during our first visit to Vietnam. We arrived on a late evening flight and decided that the best way to start our holiday would be to throw ourselves into the chaos of the city the next morning by jumping on the back of a bike. What a great decision! Our guides, Sau and Ut, were... More

My husband and I are world travelers. We had just gotten off a river cruise with many excursions included. So when we looked for something in Saigon for our last day we wanted to make sure we saw it like the locals. Saigon Unseen was the answer. Starting with the contacts all the way from pre and post travel, Adam... More

“Great way to see the city if you only have a couple of days.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 February 2012

Normally we are not the tour type but we are really glad that we did this tour. It is priced right and we got to see so much of the city and got to taste a lot of it too. You will not be disappointed. More
