The best! - The bike tour was unforgettable and one of the best of our trip. It was very special to get to know some of Saigon's less touristy areas and neighborhoods and get a feel for how people really live. I highly recommend the tour. As for Jackfruit, I have nothing but praise for it. The initial sales/contact was super simple, we got to the meeting point easily and our guide T. was the best!

Not for the faint hearted! - My sister and I did the off the beaten track cycling tour with Quang. Quang was friendly and a good tour guide! This tour does take you on an approximate 18-20km ride throughout Saigon. If you are not a confident rider, this is probably not the tour for you. The tour was great in showing us so many different places that were “off the beaten track” and gave us an insight into local Vietnamese life.

Saigon mal anders - We became aware of Jackfruit Adventures through good recommendations on Tripadvisor and decided to take the half-day tour of Saigon away from the tourist areas and we can highly recommend this tour. Our guide Dong (no idea how to spell it correctly) was world class. We cycled through 4 districts, including Chinatown and and 10. District where Ho Chi Mingh's heart beats. We got an insight into alleys and streets which we would never have found and again and again we descended, walked through alleys and were told exciting stories. Driving at rush hour on a Monday morning had it all but we were very safely returned to the starting point. This was a lasting experience, highly recommended.

Authentic Traffic Experience You Must Have - Did the new city bicycle tour, it was such an authentic experience cycling amongst the crazy scooter traffic! Learning about Saigon history along the way, we were well taken care of by the Jackfruit team every step of the way. From navigating traffic to providing cold water along the way. It wasn’t something expected but such an enjoyable time making secret food & coffee pit stops that only the Jackfruit team will know! Highly recommended for those looking for an off beaten adventurous track!

A fantastic biking tour of alleys and markets - This was a fantastic tour!! Our guide was super-friendly, the bikes were in great order and easy to ride, and despite the Saigon traffic, we felt completely safe. We were taken to places we’d never have found by ourselves and biking, rather than a walking tour, allowed us to see many districts. We had a delicious lunch, sampling lots of tropical fruit. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough!

Saigon “Off the beaten path” Cycling Tour - What an amazing experience! My guide, T, was so good! So enthusiastic and informative. We definitely went to places that are off the beaten path. I would do it again tomorrow if I could. The riding is well managed and safe. I never felt unsafe in the traffic as T was always looking out and keeping me informed about turning etc. The visits to all the different back street attractions were so good. This is the “real” Saigon. What a great ride. 11 out of 10. Thanks for the experience and I’ll be sure to make contact and organise a ride on my next trip.

Great bike tour through Saigon - 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!

Amazing cycle tour in Saigon - Our family of 4 had a fantastic bike tour of Saigon with Jackfruit Adventure. Communication before the trip was excellent and the meeting point just down the road from our hotel in District 1. Cycling the backstreets of districts 4, 10 and China Town is an experience not to be missed. We also visited the flower market, a pagoda and markets between the old apartment blocks before purchasing fruit and sampling some local refreshments. Our guides were engaging and knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed their company. The roads of Saigon are busy, but we always felt safe as we negotiated tight alley ways and busy roads. We spent a week enjoying the sights, sounds and flavours of Saigon and I can honestly say this was the best thing we did. I whole heartedly recommend Jackfruit Adventure.
