Saigon Hidden Gems Day Tour by Scooter – Local Insider’s Ride
Description
Why book this tour? Because it’s not just a ride – it’s a time-traveling adventure through Saigon’s hidden soul. Each stop tells a different chapter: the Thich Quang Duc Monument honors a monk’s legendary protest; Nguyen Thien Thuat apartments whisper stories of wartime families and aging architecture; Ho Thi Ky Flower Market bursts with color and diversity of lifestyles; Thien Hau Pagoda carries centuries of Chinese-Vietnamese prayers; and the Secret Weapon Bunker hides rebel history beneath an ordinary home. This tour is for the curious – those who crave mystery, memory, and the real heartbeat of Saigon, beyond what Google shows.

We did a tour with Justin, Linh and Thanh and had an amazing time. 10/10 would recommend adding this trip to your itinerary when staying in Saigon. It was the highlight of our trip
Thank you so much for your awesome review! We wish you guys everything best and hope to see you all again in Saigon! Cheers :)
I have been to HCM before about 15 years ago but decided to refresh myself with this tour. I am so glad I did especially with Anh Thu. She was insightful and so accomodating. She was so helpful with helping me taking photos. I love that we got to share an in-depth conversation about current Vietnam culture and exchanging stories about ourselves. As the time passed by I had wish we the tour was even longer. I highly recommend Anh Thu and give this tour a try when you are visiting HCM city.
Dear Trang, Your enjoyment on our tour is my concern! I am so glad that you believed and chose us. Anh Thu is one of the most friendly and caring guides that we have. Thank you so much for joining us on saturday morning. I wish you all the best in life. Cheers.
This tour was awesome!! Riding through the little laneways on the back of a scooter is the best way to see the city. I got to see some very important historical sites, had some delicious Vietnamese coffee and visited the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas, among other things. My guide was a lovely fellow and he talked with much enthusiasm and clarity. I highly recommend this tour.
