Private Saigon Sightseeing Tour by Scooter

Summary

This tour begins with pickup at your Saigon hotel, where you don a helmet and hop on a motorbike behind a driver/guide. Weave through the morning streets as Saigon wakes up: see street sweepers moving through the city, street vendors selling breakfast to locals, and motorbikes zipping through crowded roundabouts. Stop at Saigon highlights including Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral, the Saigon Central Post Office, and Independence Palace. Then visit the Nguyen Thien Thuat to see what life was like in the 1960s and today. Continue to the biggest flower market in Saigon, where motorbikes squeeze through narrow alleys, and spot local landmarks along the way. Stop at an 80-year-old coffee shop to learn to make your own Saigonese coffee. Then head to Binh Tay Market, in District 5, and see everything from street paintings, to book markets, and fashionable neighborhoods. See the stilt houses of the city's slums on your way to Ben Thanh Market. This tour concludes with drop-off at your hotel.

Why take this tour?

A visit to the most popular tourist attractions in Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) and learn more about the architecture, history, and less-known stories is a must thing to do in the city. However, we will do it in a different and fun way on the back of a motorbike. A plus to a normal city tour is zipping through the huge network of alleyways, see lots of hidden brilliant gems, learn how to make a cup of the special Vot coffee, enjoy a drink while chatting leisurely with the nice female guide and the owner at a 80-year coffee shop.
