Very nice tour! We enjoyed the sightseeing and all information provided by our amazing tour guide Minh. This tour by bicycle gives you the opportunity to experience Saigon at its finest, including narrow alleys where you normally won’t come. I was already familiar with the city, but this tour gave me new experiences and insights. Also our guide Minh was great; very friendly and knowledgable. If the idea of cycling through Saigon makes you nervous, don’t be. The tour guide really cares about your safety and makes sure the trip is very safe and fun. In short, great tour!ewoudd381

My wife and I had an excellent cycling trip with Lam who has gone above and beyond in showing care and ensuring we enjoyed ourselves. Lam arrived early at the shop and was busy setting up bikes for my wife and I. We started by cycling through Saigon’s busy streets. It was quite unnerving at first as the traffic was quite chaotic and from where I came from, we drive on the left side but Vietnam drives on the right side but after a while, the seemingly chaotic traffic has some organic sense of order (the road users know how to avoid us and most will give way seeing that we are tourists). Nevertheless, Lam ensured our safety and always stay close to us in case we need help particularly when we cycled through highways or busier streets. Our tour took us through morning and flower markets before we arrived at an old quarter which seemingly seem ordinary until Lam told us that it was a quarter formerly reserved for American soldiers. We walked around a bit and exchange some stories here before we eventually tried the locally made Flan ala Vietnamese style. After which, we continued our cycle towards an old train station (Saigon Railway Station) which is still in use. Later on, we cycled along Kenh Nhieu Loc River before stopping by for a coffee break. After the coffee break, we cycled to Thu Thiem, a seemingly new and modern distinct with tall buildings. It was a rather empty district but excellent for cycling. Lam brought us through the shortcut that cut from here towards district 1 where a truck eventually collect our bicycles and we stopped at our hotel. All in all, it was not so much the destinations but the whole experience of riding from one place to another place that makes the trip fun. Without Lam showing the way, we wouldn’t get to savour Saigon up close - it was a really fun 25 plus km of cycling experience for my wife and I. Lam was really helpful as towards the end of the trip, I was looking for a cobbler’s service and Lam was helpful and patient enough to help us negotiate the price and waiting with us. My wife and I will heartily recommend this tour without any doubt and Lam is a key piece of that wonderful experience. This tour will make your Saigon experience a full one and we left the trip with a Vietnamese friend, Lam. We hope to see him again one day.mmb2211

An experience not to be forgotten. Our guide An was great. Enthusiastic, informative and gave us a wonderful view of the city. Smoothly manoeuvring through the traffic he took us to places we normally would never have seen. Proud of his city and country. When you visit Ho Chi Minh, always do a bike tour. You'll be sorry if you didn't do it. Thank you, An.
