Brilliant guides, great tour and day out...

We did this half day motorcycle tour on 29.05.24. Castle and An were our guides. They both arrived promptly and on time, we even got an introduction message before arrival. We were kitted out with helmets and given safety instructions on how to mount the bikes and sit safely. Castle/An had a programmed itinerary, but were entirely flexible and happy to stop and add in specific additional places of interest for us. Endless photos that they were happy to assist with. Their combined knowledge and experience was excellent and I can't thank them enough for the detailed information they provided. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they were so kind, stopping to pick up water, provide a cane sugar drink in the market - and find me an ATM that worked! They were both remarkably calm and safe riders and made the journey between destinations fun and exciting. Thank you both so much for a brilliant tour of your beautiful city. Very happy to recommend this company and Castle and An.

Saigon Highlights by Motorbike Tour

The concept of touring a city on motor bike is excellent way to experience the city. We took a similar tour in Hanoi with all female team and this was better that the Saigon experience by comparison, due to: 1. Better food quality options; 2. Better more comfortable modern scooters with back support. 3. More places to see / experience with better English communication. Notwithstanding, the Saigon team were keen to please.... Thank you
