Fabulous cycling adventure - We had a wonderfully unique experience with Duc today. Getting out of the city to appreciate a different perspective of daily life and culture in Ho Chi Minh. We loved cycling through the streets and jungle and the many stops along the way. Duc’s knowledge was extensive and his commentary always interesting. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a truly authentic experience.

Countryside bike tour Adventure. - Last week whilst I was in Ho Chi Minh City and I booked a Countryside Bike Tour with Jackfruit Adventure. We were fortunate to have a wonderful guide Quang. He was a lovely guy and kept us entertained along the way. I would thoroughly recommend the tour which provided us with lots of points of interest stops and opportunities to sample various foods and drinks. I take back with me to Australia 🦘 wonderful memories of Vietnam. Thank you Quang and thank you Jackfruit Adventure. Anthony from Australia 🦘

Great way to discover the Mekong delta - This was my second cycling tour with Quang and I was the only guest today. Quang navigated me easily through markets, private neighbourhoods and small alleyways. My highlights of the tour were the fish farm and the coffee stop at the market, having a conversation about everyday life in Vietnam with Quang.

Authentic peaceful tour just outside Saigon - Great tour! It is surprisingly how peaceful this area is as it is only a short drive from district 1 and the views of the countryside with skyscrapers in the background is beautiful. All the stops of the tour were interesting including a local food market, lotus farm and fish farm. Our two tour guides (Quang and Kiet) were great and gave lots of information on Vietnamese life and culture and made sure we were safe in traffic. Would recommend! Found this tour a lot more authentic than the Mekong Delta day trips.

Awesome tour of the countryside! - HT was professional, personable and made the tour fun. It was a nice blend of countryside , seeing the old style apartments with great views, the Sunday morning market with the fresh produce and food and having local snacks at a home which was enjoyable.

Excellent option for Ho Chi Minh Trip - We took a cycling trip to see a different part of Ho Chi Minh away from the normal tourist tips. The ride was about 18k around the village and farms with great knowledgeable guides. Well worth doing this to learn a different side of HCM

HO Chi Minh from the other side - Good bikes that ride smoothly. You're looking at Ho Chi Minh from the other side of the river. I had Curly as a guide. She knew a lot about the area. The bike route was easy. Thanks Curly for the nice morning
