Xích Lô (say it out loud and you’ll hear the word – Cy-clo!) was one of the most popular taxi services in the early 20th century, and is still the best way to experience Sài Gòn’s insane traffic and wonderful city scenes. We designed this three-hour tour for who would enjoy glimpses of local, daily life in Sài Gòn. This “authentic” way allows visitors to discover the city center in intense emotions. It’s like you are in the center of a whirlwind of movement, wrapped in a cacophony of horns and the bustle of people who trying to make their way in the middle of all this excitement.
