Ho Chi Minh City: A City That Never Sleeps

Formerly known as Saigon—the capital of South Vietnam—Ho Chi Minh City was renamed after the Vietnam War. Today, locals still affectionately refer to it as Saigon. Although it is no longer the political capital, it thrives as the country’s economic and cultural powerhouse, home to over 9 million residents. Ho Chi Minh City is a buzzing epicenter of rich culture, world-class cuisine, and non-stop business energy.

Our Ho Chi Minh Vespa tours offer authentic local insights into this bustling city. If you wish to escape the urban concrete jungle, we also operate daily Vespa excursions out of Ho Chi Minh into the scenic Mekong Delta countryside.
