Dark Saigon per motor : Urban Legend & Midnight Culture in HCMC
Beschrijving
Ontdek de mysterieuze kant van Saigon in het donker — begrafenisgebruiken, tempelgeloof, stedelijke spookverhalen en het oude Chinatown — verteld door een lokale Gids die de geheimen van de stad kent. Een totaal andere ervaring dan een normale stadstour. Als de avond valt, rijdt u met de pilion door Saigon en in zijn spirituele, spookachtige en bijgelovige kant: de Tienduizend Boeddha's Pagode, een traditioneel begrafenishuis, een gebouw waar de lokale bevolking over fluistert en de sfeervolle straten van Chinatown. Uw Engels sprekende Gids brengt het allemaal tot leven met echte overtuigingen, gebruiken en griezelige lokale legendes - plus een koffie- of sapstop en een late bánh mì. Dit is geen schrikbarende spokenjacht — het is een fascinerende, verhalenrijke reis naar wat Vietnamezen werkelijk geloven over dood, geluk en de geestenwereld. Reizigers vinden het geweldig als een van de meest unieke en gedenkwaardige nachten van hun reis. Klein, privé en gepersonaliseerd. Best genoten in de avond. Veilig en gemakkelijk voor beginnende rijders.

We had a fantastic private motorbike tour of Saigon with our guide, Vincent Always Happy, and his teammate Kien. The company arranged the tour for us very much at the last minute and were incredibly flexible, which we really appreciated. Vincent and Kien took us around the city to see many of the major sights, including the Central Post Office, Independence Palace, the Opera House, the War Remnants Museum, and the famous Café Apartments. The most special part of the tour was visiting the school my father attended in the early 1950s. Being able to see it in person made the experience deeply personal and emotional for me, and I am very grateful that Vincent and Kien were so willing to adapt the route and make this possible. Exploring Saigon from the back of a motorbike was exciting and gave us a much more immediate feeling for the city than travelling by car or bus. Vincent truly lived up to his name—he was cheerful, friendly, and enthusiastic throughout the tour. Kien was equally kind and attentive, and both of them made us feel comfortable and safe in the busy Saigon traffic. This was a memorable and very personal experience, and we would happily recommend the tour to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City.
Thank you Kaylin and Ben for a great tour around the markets of Ho Chi Minh City, and accommodating our special requests. Loved seeing your city
Our guide was Kalynn, arriving at the hotel on time in the morning, instead we left late. Her English skills are very high, there are no problems in communication, the explanation of the course is very clear and careful, and the driving technique is quite high, so it is very safe in the city. I believe the most satisfied reason for this time is Kalynn, she made us this short few hours unparalleled, if you can choose the guide freely, I highly recommend Miss Kalynn.
The trip was very interesting. I got to experience things I had never seen before. I highly recommend trying a motorbike tour if you visit Ho Chi Minh City.
Mallorie was prompt at pick up and the tour started swiftly scooting through traffic. We stopped at the Buddha immolation memorial and had thoughtful conversations around religion and politics that played into the events. Before you know it, we were off to a local coffee spot where I was treated to a traditional coffee, stopped by the local housing after the Tet offensive, and took a stroll through a crowded market and bought some awesome tropical fruits. We then went to Chinatown, and I got to learn how the Chinese got to Vietnam and the story behind the evolving landscape and borders that caused the events, had a wonderful Bah Mi from an 80 year old establishment for only $1USD (amazed), and ended the tour with the flower market. Overall it was a great experience and learning opportunity to get to know Vietnam and the local cultures. Highly recommend Mallorie as she was very kind and patient with my stupid jokes.
Kalyn and Kitto have given us a fantastic tour by taking us into the history and culture of Vietnam. On the back of the bike enjoyed the heavy traffic which can sometimes be very exciting. Been to the different districts of Saigon and seen various things including a Chinese temple, a market , a local restaurant and coffee drunk in a local coffee house. Unfortunately we could only give 5 stars because Kalyn and Kitto deserved much more. Duszejer highly recommended if you are in Saigon.
If you’re thinking about doing a scooter tour in Ho Chi Minh City—just book it with Mallory and Thi In. Seriously, don’t overthink it. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip. We got to experience both the old and new sides of Saigon in a way you just can’t on your own. The history was fascinating but never felt like a lecture—it was personal, engaging, and full of stories that really brought the city to life. We explored a beautiful local flower market and a bustling food market, tasted incredible Vietnamese coffee, and had the kind of conversations that make you feel like you’re riding around with friends rather than guides. What really stood out was the personal touch. They even helped us shop for souvenirs, made sure we got fair prices, and didn’t rush us at all. At the end, they went above and beyond by arranging a Grab and making sure we got safely back to our hotel. On top of all that, we learned so much about local culture—from Buddhism to Catholic influences—which added a whole new layer to everything we saw. Mallory and Thi In are not just guides—they’re genuinely warm, thoughtful people who care about your experience. Friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating. Book the tour. You won’t regret it.
Wanted the experience of being on one of these crazy scooters, and just what I got, we went with jay and aya and got a great tour. Visited local areas and food and flower market and was an amazing eye opener for HCM. As a motorcyclist I just loved the crazyness of being in the middle of the traffic, completely different to watching it on the sidewalks. Great tour, thank you.
Very tasty, entertaining and fun
Bean was fantastic. The tour was very informative and I felt very safe on the back of his scooter. Thankyou for a great morning and for the lotus flower 🪷
