Excellent tour and one I'd highly recommend doing as soon as you arrive in Saigon. It gives you a much better understanding of how the seemingly chaotic motorbike traffic actually works. After spending a couple of hours on the back of a scooter, you'll quickly learn to "trust the process" – something that made crossing the roads for the rest of our trip far less intimidating! I also loved that the tour is led by local university students, giving you the opportunity to support them while hearing about life in the city from a local perspective. We visited several different districts that we would never have explored on our own, which gave us a much broader appreciation of the city beyond the main tourist areas. One of the most interesting insights was learning that in some apartment buildings, residents ride their scooters up the stairs and store them inside their apartments rather than paying for parking. It's one of those small, everyday details that you'd never discover on your own but gives you a real appreciation for how locals adapt to life in the city. It was a fantastic introduction to Saigon and set us up perfectly for the rest of our stay. Highly recommended!
it was a great experience, they adjusted to our needs and a lovely group of girls, katee was a great leader helping us interact with the locals. highly recommend
It was a good tour to see a nightsight of the city. Guide Leo was great fun guide
An easy activity to organise and it far exceeded our expectations. Lovely tour guides and we all felt very safe navigating around the city. We learnt lots of interesting facts and saw heaps in our 2 hr tour. Good value for money.
Annie, I learned a lot and enjoyed it. I went on the tour knowing very little about Vietnam's history, but the children understood because they taught me very carefully. They took me to places I hadn't seen in guidebooks, and I'm very happy. If you have another chance, I would like to see you. It was a good memory. Thank you very much.
Anthony was timely and drove me on his motorbike on this tour. It was a really fun way to see Saigon at night. Seeing the Saigon River was the best part. He also provided at meal at a clean restaurant.
Lyn was a fantastic guide - was an amazing experience overall, saw things I would not have otherwise
Super friendly riders and a great way to explore the city
Annie and Kate were amazing! we booked the tour just an hour before it started and they were on time and smiling :). the tour was so good and both Annie and Kate were so knowledgeable and willing to share. and they are both excellent drivers :). we would highly recommend a tour with Annie and Kate!!!
the activity was fantastic. Annie was the perfect guide, she explained the Vietnamese story and facts I didn't know, she supported the explanation also with videos, very prepared. she is also an excellent driver.
