Inside Cholon Saigon Chinatown, Temples, Local Tasting by scooter

Super tour around Cho Lon, very interesting facts about Saigon's Chinatown! We were accompanied by 2 guides, Duy and Vi, very fluent in English and helpful with every questions we had :) We'd recommend the tour to anyone and will come back for other visits for sure! Thank you so much!

It was my first time participating in the Odessa ride and it was really a very special experience! Thank you very much for the careful guidance of the tour guide Mallorie and Truc. In the traditional Vietnamese Odessa cycling stroll on the streets of Siem Reap, along the way to learn about the culture and history of Siem Reap, also went to the atmospheric floral streets, drank fragrant Vietnamese coffee milk, and ate the Vietnamese bread of the country. Each section is arranged meaningfully and impresses. Want to get to know Ho Chi Minh City in a different way, this riding tour is definitely worth recommending!

Highly recommend this tour. It was very interesting and informative. It was a great way to learn about Vietnam and people’s spirituality. The tour felt very unique. The tour utilises motorbike which is a nice way to experience local transportation. The guides Mallorie, Bean and Kathie were very friendly, respectful, funny and knowledgeable. They took us to a range of places. They personalised the tour for my friends and I. Highly recommend this tour and will request for my friends who visit to have Mallorie, Bean and Kathie as guides. Thank you very much!

Vincent and Melody were amazing guides. Friendly, insightful, and made the entire adventure with them a wonderfully fun experience. We toured Chinatown and learned so much along the way.

It was a great experience- Jay and Alissa were excellent hosts, guiding us with information about the city, the spiritual beliefs- and where the best place to eat was. They were incredibly friendly, and the night time motorbike riding was the icing on the cake

First, a huge thank you to the travel agency staff and my guide, Mallorie! Because my previous itinerary was delayed due to traffic and I couldn't get back to the hotel, I urgently called the travel agency before the deadline to explain the situation. They were very nice and told me not to rush, and that the guide was already waiting for me in the hotel lobby. I'm so grateful to them!Mallorie knew that I had just returned from my previous itinerary, so she took me to dinner first and told me how to eat authentic beef pho. It's supposedly a famous restaurant, but I didn't remember the name, but it was very delicious Then the itinerary officially started. The first two stops, "Van Phat Temple" and the "Funeral Home", exceeded my expectations, because they have similarities with Taiwanese culture, but are also different (as for what's different, please come and join the tour hahaha). So when listening to Mallorie's explanation, I found it very interesting. Mallorie also proactively exchanged information and asked if there were any differences in Taiwanese culture. I think it's great to be able to promote cultural understanding The third stop, the haunted house, had less historical and cultural context. It was really just a ghost story ghost tour, but it was still pretty good.But I want to remind everyone not to take pictures at the third stop take pictures three times) In addition to the content related to these three stops, Mallorie also chatted during the process. You can ask her any questions. For example, we talked about why many motorcycles in Vietnam don't have right-side mirrors, and how she watched others play a game when she was a child that I call "Canned Fairy" (a combination of tag, Ouija board, and a can). It really felt like don't take pictures don't (important things must be said three times) In addition to the content related to these three stops, Mallorie also chatted during the process.

It really felt like having a very personal guide taking you on a night tour. Oh, and to add, Mallorie is fluent in both Chinese and English! I think it's great that she can explain in both languages.😊

Overview: What an experience! A great tour to get you into the streets and some exposure to the real spiritual side of Vietnamese people. Great tour guide who has great picks for food too. There are parts of this tour that you would probably not date to experience except with the guide. This would probably not be for you if you're looking for a ghost hunting kind of trip, but plenty of spooky ghost stories along the way. So far, one of my favorite night/ghost/city tours. Duration: 3 hrs Crowd size: personal tour on a scooter. 1 driver per attendee. Price: as listed but with a holiday premium (2 days before Tet, which was reasonable considering how many holiday closures already started) Details: My wife and I went on the night tour with Vincent and Tram. The tour guide makes or breaks the tour. Our guides were knowledgeable, fun, professional and actually passionate about the subjects. Most importantly, they approached the subjects respectfully, otherwise I wouldn't imagine we'd get access to some of these experiences. They were also super flexible to work with us on scheduling and picked us up from our hotel in District 1. The main stops included a popular Buddhist temple, a real funeral home with active funerals, an abandoned residential complex, crippled by superstition and bad luck, and the statue of the self-immolating monk. All woven together with a great narrative to talk about Buddhist beliefs, death rituals, superstitions and life if Saigon. Secondary, we got to experience the rush of Saigon streets at night from the seat of a scooter, instead of the relative safety of a car. Not quite ready to take that on solo yet. A must have perspective of culture in Vietnam. Amazing views, less hot. Food picks were fantastic. Our fave was the warm sticky rice with egg custard.

I had a fun time riding with Vincent, he was very knowledgeable and he's English is very good. I've been to Ho Chi Minh City many times but I had never been on such a unique tour or learnt about the cultures and beliefs that Vincent taught me tonight. He also tells some pretty amazing ghost stories. I recommend this fun and informative tour.

It was a fun tour with Mallorie and Bean, who were full of youth and energy. Definitely learnt a lot about Vietnamese culture and beliefs on tour, and zipping around the different districts on motorbikes is definitely a must-have experience in Vietnam.

We joined the ghost tour with guides Mallorie and Jay, and it turned out to be one of the best tours we’ve ever taken. They were incredibly knowledgeable, and the stories they shared were not only spooky but genuinely unique. I’ve done many ghost tours in different countries, but this one stood out because it offered so much more than ghost tales, it gave us a real glimpse into local life and culture. We learned fascinating things about Vietnam’s religions and the darker side of Ho Chi Minh‘s history, the kind of insights we never encountered anywhere else. The guides were engaging, fun, and charismatic, and they made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. And the food was absolutely amazing! They took us to places far from the tourist path, which made everything feel even more authentic. Such a fun way to discover another side of Vietnam. Highly recommended!
