Really fantastic tour and both our guides Honey and Nguyen were excellent - very knowledgeable about Vietnamese history down to small and really interesting details. The coffee shop stop was a highlight but it was really great start to finish. Def recommend.

Both Hani and Pen were extremely knowledgeable and experts in their profession. The tour was so unique and efficient. The Bhan Mi and the historical coffee place was amazing. It started raining heavily but since our guides were professionals, they whipped out ponchos and off we went. They went out of their for an errand we had to take care of, and we're so patient when we were shopping at the historical post office. We highly recommend them.

We had a fantastic time with our guide Kien. He and his partner took my husband and I around the city on their scooters to see the sights. Their driving was fantastic and I felt completely safe. I was nervous about doing the tour but will 100% recommend a bike tour!

This was a great tour! Jasmine and Ben were our guides and they were really great all the time. They took us through different places and were very patient explaining and giving us details about Saigon. Jasmine is also amazing with the photos.
Highly recommended!
It was great fun scooting around the city with Emmy.
Saw many memorable things ... time flew by.
Tour includes stops for coffee and lunch --- an amazing value.
The burning buddha statue and history is very hard hitting emotionally.
Good Sight seeing tour
Hani was very professional, nice & polite girl
Explain everything perfectly. Tasty local lunch with fresh sugarcane juice
If this is your fist time in the city. This tour is a great way to see all the major sights and try local food. The guide was great, she knew a lot about the city, yet made the tour fun and interactive. Hani is a great guide.
This is my first time on a scooter. So I was a bit nervous especially in a city with millions of scooter. Teo reassure me that it is safe and to be fair, he drives very safe. The tour is exactly what’s outlined on the itineraries and it is great to learn more history of Vietnam war eras.
