Frequently Asked Questions
  • It looks chaotic, but there is a "flow." Our drivers do this every day and are extremely experienced. We provide helmets and move at a safe pace. Riding a motorbike is actually the best way to feel the city's energy-it’s an experience you can't get inside a car window.

  • We only take you to stalls with high turnover, meaning the food is always fresh. We also vet our vendors for cleanliness. Pro Tip: Look for places where many locals are eating; that is the ultimate sign of quality and safety.

  • Tropical rain in Saigon is usually fast. We provide high-quality rain ponchos and keep the tour moving! Eating hot soup or pancakes under a street-side awning while it rains is actually a very authentic "Saigon" memory for many travelers.

  • There is moderate walking at the museums and markets. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes. The transition to the motorbike in the evening gives your legs a much-needed rest while you enjoy the breeze.

  • Absolutely! Saigon has a huge "Chay" (vegetarian) culture. Just let us know in advance. We can easily swap out BBQ meat for grilled okra, tofu, and delicious vegetarian spring rolls.
