Itinerary

  • Your friendly local guide will meet you at your hotel (District 1, 3, or 5) and provide a quick safety briefing before you hop on the motorbike. Get ready to see Saigon through the eyes of a local!

  • Begin your journey at this iconic landmark, once the headquarters of the South Vietnamese government. Walk through its preserved war rooms, secret tunnels, and historic halls to relive the events that shaped Vietnam’s modern history.

  • Just across the street, admire the red-brick façade of the Notre-Dame Cathedral, built between 1877 and 1883 with materials imported from France. Step inside (if open) to see its stained-glass windows. Next, visit the Saigon Central Post Office, designed by Gustave Eiffel, where its vintage interior still functions as a working post office.

  • Ride along the city’s most famous pedestrian boulevard. Stop for photos at the elegant Opera House, built in 1897 in French colonial style, and the grand City Hall, one of the most photographed buildings in Ho Chi Minh City. Feel the vibrant energy of Walking Street, a popular spot for both locals and visitors.

  • A thought-provoking stop where you’ll gain insights into the Vietnam War through detailed exhibitions, war photography, and preserved military equipment. Although emotional, this museum is one of the most visited in Vietnam for its powerful perspective on history.

  • Step into a mystical world at one of Saigon’s most atmospheric temples. Dedicated to the King of Heaven, the pagoda is filled with incense, intricate carvings, and statues of deities, offering a glimpse into the city’s spiritual life.

  • Take a short break to enjoy a refreshing local drink (such as sugarcane juice or iced coffee) and sample a traditional Vietnamese snack, just like the locals do.

  • Conclude the journey with a smooth ride back to your hotel. Receive a small farewell gift as a keepsake of your Saigon adventure, along with heartfelt thanks from your guide.
