Stop At: Scooter Saigon Tour, 39, Street 9, Camellia Garden, Binh Hung Ward, Bình Hưng, Bình Chánh, Hồ Chí Minh 700000, Vietnam
Our talented guide with the motorbike picks you up at your hotel (or any location requested by you). After a short riding instruction and program introduction, we hop on the motorbike. The guide makes sure you are ok on the motorbike before weaving the city to explore brilliant hidden gems in 8 districts.
The first stop is Venerable Thich Quang Duc Monument where you listen to less-known history and story about the monk and his unburned heart. Head to District 3 and a Nguyen Thien Thuat apartment buildings since the 1960s to see the real Saigon local life which is totally different from the life in the city center.
After that, we drive to Ho Thi Ky – the biggest flower market and Cambodian market hidden in alleyways of Ho Thi Ky Street. There we see countless colorful and smelling flowers and many strange things.
On the way, we stop at an 80-year coffee shop hidden in an alley, learn how to brew the unique “Vot” coffee and interact with the nice owner, and enjoy a cup of coffee.
Zipping through Saigon China Town, we visit the famous Binh Tay Market, Thien Hau temple, hidden parts including fashion street, painting street, medicine street, electronic market, fabric market, lantern market, fruit market, bird market.
Then the guide drives through narrow alleyways to reach less-known Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda, Saigon Cao Dai Temple, Hoa Binh Market - one of the oldest markets in the city.
Driving along Saigon channels, the guide show you stilt houses and slum area, the scene shows a sharp contrast between the rich and the poor in Saigon. Arriving Saigon floating market, you can see vendors and their families live, cook, eat, sleep, even take care of dogs, grow chickens right on the boats. We also buy a fresh coconut from a vendor and enjoy it.
After that, we zip through a tiny humble island which is the former mafia hotspot but a developing district and street food area.
On the way, we also stop at famous eateries for seeing how to make and enjoying the best Saigon foods. The first stop is one of the city’s top Vietnamese breads with crispy crust and amazing fillings. The second food stop is a long-standing Grilled banana in sticky rice and banana leaf. The last eating stop is a long-standing Vietnamese pancake restaurant where we enjoy the traditional Banh xeo and Rice noodles with grilled pork.
Lastly, the guide returns you to your hotel. It is time to say goodbye, tour ends but memories last forever.
