A must do in Ho Chi Minh City for Vietnamese food lovers

Back of the Bike Tours was a fabulous experience to navigate the busy streets of Ho Chi Minh City on the back of a motorcycle which was driven by an experienced local female driver. We were able to eat authentic Vietnamese food at local restaurants which were run by local families. Anh and Tran were such great drivers and explained everything about the local cuisine.

You have to do this! So much food, so much fun.

We did the Back of the Bike Tour during a guided tour of Vietnam in a group of 17. We were met and greeted at our hotel and had a quick safety demo. The tour guides (young ladies) that rode the bikes were amazing and spoke very good English. Most are either at university or just finished university. The venues were fabulous, never would have chosen or found them by ourselves, and the food was on another level entirely (even the jumping chicken aka frog legs). Each dish was explained by the tour guides, and they made sure we were looked after and had fun at each eatery. Travelling around HCM City at night on the back of a scooter, what an experience. The city is lit up and the traffic is next level but once you understand its "like the flow of water" and everyone just gives way to everything else you sit back and enjoy it.

What a fantastic experience - THANK YOU Ms Tien and Ms Uyen

ABSOLUTELY stunning. This was our favourite activity we did whilst on our holiday. It was so much fun and both Ms Tien and Ms Uyen were so professional but so funny and engaging and took such good care of us. They drive beautifully and we never felt nervous in the super hustle and bustle of Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City). The food was a very varied menu and we ate things we never have (i did try the frogs legs but was not very keen LOL).We absolutely loved every second of this and did not want it to end. We went to 5 different districts and saw so much of the city that you would not have seen if you did not do this tour. I would recommend this to everyone and definitely with Back of the Bike Tours. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! The girls and our support lad (I can not remember his name but we named him Superman) were FABULOUS!! THANK YOU Ms Tien and Ms Uyen for a really fun evening and for taking such good care of us!! much love!!
