About this tour
A two-hour motorbike tour that covers Saigon's main sights and lesser-known corners from the back of a bike. You'll ride with a professional guide through the city's streets, stopping at key landmarks and local spots. The optional ao dai rider experience — where you ride behind a guide dressed in the traditional Vietnamese tunic — requires six hours' advance notice and isn't guaranteed on busy days. Hotel pick-up and drop-off included for central districts.
Highlights
- Two-hour guided motorbike tour of Saigon's key highlights and hidden spots
- Optional ao dai riders available with six-hour advance booking
- Free hotel pick-up and drop-off (Districts 1, 3, 5)
- High-quality open-faced helmets and rain ponchos provided
- Accident insurance included
- Professional guides familiar with the city's layout and stories
What to expect
You'll be picked up from your hotel in a central district and taken to the meeting point to meet your guide and get fitted with a helmet. The ride then takes you through Saigon's streets, stopping at main attractions and quieter local areas that give you a sense of how the city actually moves. Your guide will point out landmarks and neighbourhoods as you go, handling the bike while you take in the surroundings from the back seat.
The tour wraps at the two-hour mark, and you'll be dropped back at your hotel. There are no food or drink stops, so this is a pure sightseeing experience rather than a leisurely tour with sitting time. The pace suits most fitness levels but relies on your comfort being a passenger on a motorbike in city traffic.

Not suitable if you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular issues. Infants must sit on an adult's lap. The tour excludes food and drinks, and personal items aren't covered. Pick-up applies to Districts 1, 3, and 5 with some exclusions — check your exact location. All fuel and the bike are included.
