Saigon Guided Bicycle Tour: Hidden Alleys, Local Markets & Coffee

Wow just wow! This tour had everything. Adrenaline, history, humour, food, drink and a cultural overview of the past several thousand years of Vietnam. All this while seeing ‘grass roots’ Saigon. We loved it. It was great value and a fabulous way to see some of the city from the saddle of a bike. Being a public holiday added to the atmosphere. We are so grateful to Christian for his leadership and depth of knowledge and both him and Thanh for navigating us through the city which we would never have achieved on our own.

Christian and Ngan were awesome. My family and I really enjoyed the tour. Definitely worth the time, money and sweat. Definitely recommend.

WOW, what can I say but you must do thus tour. From the moment I booked to the end staff are very professional. We felt safe on the bicycleas Christian navigated us through the traffic safely through the streets if HCMC. Christian explained in detail the different Districts and gave us a great insight into Vietnamese history and culture. We stopped on the way for tea, chinese bun and a coffee/cold drink in Chinatown before heading back. I highly recommend this bicycle tour. An afternoon with a difference. Thank you for a fun time.

Be reasonably bike fit, its a fairly flat ride apart from a few bridges but i went in July and its hot, even around 8am. I enjoyed being part of the traffic flow on some busy roads and roundabouts and then through hidden lanes and alleys. I welcomed a few drink stops, particularly the 24 blend Chinese/Vietnamese ice tea, a dark brew in a long glass that replenishes electrolytes and resets the body. Some of the market sections are very crowded and you need to be focused on your cycling skills navigating through the crowds. I was the only person booked for the morning and so I got to speak with Duc (guide) about life in Vietnam and some background history that was interesting. Would recommend to those that enjoy a bit of exercise and challenge.

This was such an adrenaline rush! I feel like if you can cycle through the busy roads and congested alleyways of Ho Chi Minh City, you can cycle anywhere. My guide, Curly, was amazing. She was so friendly and made sure I felt safe the whole time. She never left me behind, and she also shared some fun and interesting facts about the city along the way. I also got to explore Chinatown, which was such a cool experience. I tried local Viet-Chinese food that I probably wouldn’t have discovered on my own. I would definitely recommend this as one of the best ways to see the city. Just know that it gets really hot, and Ho Chi Minh traffic is not for the faint of heart, but that’s also what makes the experience so memorable!

Great tour, the alleys were a little crowded for bike riding. We definitely recommend. Information of the sites were well provided.

Great thrilling and memorable experience. Was a little anxious at first with the traffic but once you're in you'll flow comfortably like a fish. Thank you for seeing something tourist don't normally see. From District 4 Alleys, Distrcit 5 China Town, D10 - ubran appartments and infamous umbrella market.

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!

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.

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!!
