I absolutely adored this bike tour. Our guide Quang was fantastic and his support rider was as well. The overall ride was about 20 km and we went to places in Ho Chi Minh City that I would not have otherwise seen. I especially loved the ginseng tea that we were served at a family run business. Quang was very happy to answer any questions I had about Vietnam and Vietnamese culture. I felt very safe riding in a chaotic city with my 2 guides. I would recommend that you be ok riding in traffic!

Great Start To The Day

Scott_S, Jul 2026

Be reasonably bike fit, its a fairly flat ride apart from a few bridges but i went in July and its hot, even around 8am. I enjoyed being part of the traffic flow on some busy roads and roundabouts and then through hidden lanes and alleys. I welcomed a few drink stops, particularly the 24 blend Chinese/Vietnamese ice tea, a dark brew in a long glass that replenishes electrolytes and resets the body. Some of the market sections are very crowded and you need to be focused on your cycling skills navigating through the crowds. I was the only person booked for the morning and so I got to speak with Duc (guide) about life in Vietnam and some background history that was interesting. Would recommend to those that enjoy a bit of exercise and challenge.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We're glad you enjoyed experiencing both the lively streets and the hidden alleys of Saigon, and that you had the chance to slow down with a few local drink stops along the way. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Duc, he loves sharing stories about Vietnam, and we're happy you enjoyed learning more about the country's history and everyday life. Thanks again for the recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another ride the next time you're in Vietnam!

Best Way to Experience Ho Chi Minh City!

Delaine_P, Jun 2026

This was such an adrenaline rush! I feel like if you can cycle through the busy roads and congested alleyways of Ho Chi Minh City, you can cycle anywhere. My guide, Curly, was amazing. She was so friendly and made sure I felt safe the whole time. She never left me behind, and she also shared some fun and interesting facts about the city along the way. I also got to explore Chinatown, which was such a cool experience. I tried local Viet-Chinese food that I probably wouldn’t have discovered on my own. I would definitely recommend this as one of the best ways to see the city. Just know that it gets really hot, and Ho Chi Minh traffic is not for the faint of heart, but that’s also what makes the experience so memorable!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the ride and the chance to explore Chinatown and try some local food. Curly will be so pleased to hear your kind words. She loves sharing the city with our guests and making sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Thanks again for joining us and for recommending the tour. We hope to see you again next time you're in Vietnam!

Great tour!

Great tour, the alleys were a little crowded for bike riding. We definitely recommend. Information of the sites were well provided.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for your review and for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the tour and found the information about the sites interesting and helpful. The alleys can certainly get busy at times, but they are also a big part of everyday life in the city. Thank you for recommending the experience. We hope to see you again on another adventure in Vietnam!

Really happy to hear you loved the bike tour and thank you for taking the time to share this. We’re glad Quang and the support rider took good care of you and helped you feel safe riding through the city. Ho Chi Minh traffic can feel busy at first, but it’s great to hear you felt comfortable with the team. It’s also nice to know you enjoyed the ginseng tea stop and got to learn more about Vietnamese culture along the way. Thanks again for riding with us and for the recommendation. We’d love to see you again on another trip in Vietnam!

Enjoyable

Cheryl_L, Jun 2025

This was an enjoyable tour away from the touristy area of district 1. Christian was our guide, he was fun and very knowledgeable about HCMC. You need to be reasonably confident riding a bike as you really get immersed in the traffic- but we felt totally safe and managed it with no trouble at all. Bikes were good with gears etc. It was a fun experience riding through little alleys and seeing the locals getting on with their lives.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for the kind words! We're glad you enjoyed exploring the local side of Saigon with Christian. It’s great to hear you felt safe and had fun navigating the alleys and traffic—it’s truly part of the adventure! Hope to see you again on another ride soon.

Unbelievable adventure

Went on the cycling tour with Duc. Was absolutely amazing trip getting to be part of the chaos that makes up the traffic flow of HCM city. Everything was stunning to see and the exhilaration highest quality. Highly recommend this adrenaline rush

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you so much for the kind words! We're thrilled you dove right into the beautiful chaos of Saigon’s traffic with us. Duc had a great time riding with you and sharing the city’s energy. Hope to see you back soon for another adventure (and adrenaline rush!) with Jackfruit!

Great ride with Duc!

Great bike tour through Saigon

ReginaOttilie_M, Oct 2023

The bike tour was incredibly exciting and interesting. We were guided safely through the busy traffic to different parts of the city. Otherwise, we would not have come to such places where you can experience the authentic life of Saigon. Simply great! The great tour was rounded off by a varied fruit tasting at the local market. The tour guides were simply great!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thanks Regina & Berhard We had a great time showing you around the city too. That's great to know you are enjoying the ride and we can't wait to see you for the next trip in Saigon
