4 hours

Private tour (only you and Paul P.)

Up to 6 people

Discover Ho Chi Minh City by motorbike, riding through six districts from famous landmarks to lively local neighborhoods.

We'll focus on pointing out key sights and sharing stories from the outside rather than going inside. This way, we'll have more time to explore other parts of this beautiful city. The main goal of this tour is to give you a comprehensive overview and deep insights into my city.

A breakfast (or lunch), snacks, and drinks are provided to make sure you're always at full energy.

- We'll park in front of your hotel. If it's in an alleyway or has limited parking space, we'll meet at the nearest possible location.

08:30 AM

Start the tour

Embark on an authentic, off-the-beaten-path journey with us.

09:00 AM

First stop

After showing you the popular spots in District 1 aka the city center, we’ll stop at a lesser-known place for a brief history and feng shui lesson. Then, we’ll head over for breakfast (or lunch).

09:20 AM

Mysterious breakfast

Having breakfast in what used to be one of the most dangerous areas in HCMC 30 years ago (don't worry, it's super safe now!). Trying a dish you've probably never heard of.

09:50 AM

Continuing the journey

A non-stop journey through out-of-the-way spots - from the Red Light District (sightseeing only), Printing Street, and the Flower Market to the Pet Corner, etc. - amidst the city's bustling traffic, with total 5 districts on the way.

10:20 AM

3M Area: Markets, Mysteries & Memories

Beyond the usual markets, we’ll drive you through Saigon’s most fascinating hidden corners - from the poignant "Last Hope" Hospital and the bustling Motorcycle Market to Lottery Street and even a haunting 30-year-old abandoned building.

10:40 AM

Snack time

Stop by a local snack spot in the Chinatown to recharge your batteries.

11:20 AM

Reflection and deep thought time

We're passing by a slum right next to an upscale neighborhood, separated only by a canal. It really reflects the rapid development and contrast of our city.

11:40 AM

Final stop

Try a signature Vietnamese drink at a local bar in Korean Town.

12:30 PM

End the tour

Pass by and look at Landmark 81 from a distance.

Ending Point

Head back to your hotel or anywhere you'd like that's convenient for both of us.
