Off the beaten path - I absolutely adored this bike tour. Our guide Quang was fantastic and his support rider was as well. The overall ride was about 20 km and we went to places in Ho Chi Minh City that I would not have otherwise seen. I especially loved the ginseng tea that we were served at a family run business. Quang was very happy to answer any questions I had about Vietnam and Vietnamese culture. I felt very safe riding in a chaotic city with my 2 guides. I would recommend that you be ok riding in traffic!

Highly recommended - The tour was very well designed. Within 4hrs I was able ride in the narrow alleys crossing morning wet markets, joining the motorbikes and stopped for local tea, coffee and exotic fruits the tour offered. My guide Duc is excellent leading me immersed in the local life which I feel very grateful and privileged.

Safe through chaos and unique experiences - We had a fantastic afternoon with our bike guide and coach Quang. Cycling safely through the challenging traffic of Ho Chi Minh City is already a great experience. Getting to places you don't see is a second surprise and all the back stories are very rewarding. When in doubt...DO!!

See Saigon from a different perspective - Very enjoyable and different way to experience Saigon. Going down back alleyways, through markets and in the middle of busy Saigon traffic on a bike was a thrill (although you will want to be a confident bike rider and probably not for kids under 12). Our guides looked after us well and we felt like old hands deciphering and navigating the road rules by the end. A great option for families with older kids!

Great way to explore Saigon - I did a cycling tour with Quang, and I was his only guest for today. Quang navigated me easily trough traffic, sightseeing markets and through small alleyways. We had enough time for a coffee and snack stops, and Quang also explained me a lot about Vietnamese culture. It was a great way to discover downtown Saigon.

Exploring the city with Curly - beep beep - Really cool tour, you get to see the city from a different perspective. Riding on the streets is an adventure itself, but the guides watch out for you. The tour was also very relaxed, you get to see everything with no stress. Our tour guide Curly was a real treasure. She showed us her favourite Café and told us stories from the city. I can only recommend the tour to experience and explore the city in a very fun way.

Really good experience with a local guide. Duc was very passionate, knowledgeable and made the trip both exciting and personal. - We had some really good hours in the company of Duc, who was a good and pleasant guide who probably led us through HCM’s mystery. Generously shared his knowledge, and not least interesting private stories.
We thought it was fun to get around in the small and narrow alleys and streets, where we could get a taste of the local people’s everyday life.
Can definitely be recommended.
