So cool! Highly recommend this tour, which gets you around and about Saigon to see really interesting sites that would otherwise be a challenge to get to in an organized (Saigon traffic!) way.
Long and his crew were safe drivers, super informative, and spoke very good English.
Again - we would highly recommend this tour do not only families but frankly anyone solo travelers, couples, young people, etc.

We booked a morning bike tour with our guides Son and Phi. They were so fun, helpful and very enthusiastic. They were able to adjust the itinerary to our needs since we already saw some of the sights previously. We were able to see new sights with Son and Phi and had so so much fun the whole time. Highly recommended. Thank you!!!

Son took me on the motorbike tour, and he was very energetic and friendly. I had some accommodation requests and he did a great job listening and accommodating. I had done another tour before so he asked if I had done certain things already, adjusting our itinerary so I would experience new places. Very knowledgeable, and answered a lot of my questions. Thanks Son!

It is short and sweet!
Had a wonderful time getting to know a little about Vietnam’s history.
The sampling of ethnic foods was an icing on the cake. Being a vegetarian, this trip was perfect. The guides knew exactly where to go…

I had booked the tour spontaneously and got a solo tour. My guide was Harley and it was her first tour with just one guest. So she was also a bit nervous. Harley is incredibly nice and very smart. We visited temples, everyday life and lots of street food. I felt safe on the scooter! :) I can recommend the tour and especially Harley 110 per cent! Thank you Harley!!!

Such a fun evening, tried so many different dishes in different areas. A great way to see and learn about the city! Sy Thuan is the best, after I couldn't eat anymore he gave me a quick tour of the city on his scooter, great driving, couldn't recommend highly enough

I had the best time on this tour. I went solo but made friends with the other tour guides and travellers. The tour guides were very safe drivers and spoke amazing English. We went to some amazing places off the beaten track that I would never think to go to. Food and tour vibe was amazing!
