Which Saigon motorbike tours to choose?
Depending on your favor and expectations, you can choose one of the following Saigon motorbike tours:
- Saigon sightseeing tour by motorbike: Instead of seeing tourist attractions by car, public bus, or hop on and hop off bus, you can choose to go around the city center and stop at must-see places in Ho Chi Minh City. The differences include the thrill of the two wheels, and seeing things on the streets clearly.
- Saigon hidden (unseen) tour by motorbike: Because you can not visit places hidden in small and narrow alleys by car, you can book a motorbike tour to reach less-known and interesting places and see the real of Saigon. Option 1 and 2 should be done in the daytime.
- Saigon food tour by motorbike: It is great to eat amazing street food in Ho Chi Minh where Saigon specialty dishes and various dishes from different regions in Vietnam can be found. If you go to restaurants in the city center (District 1), backpacker area, near tourist attractions, they will serve you the dishes for tourists. At local eateries, you will see how Saigonese people cook and enjoy food. They usually take you to many food stops, explore food areas and food markets, and you will have a chance to sample Vietnamese as well as Saigonese dishes and learn more about authentic cuisine. You can choose to eat in the evening (the most popular choice), morning, or afternoon.
- Cu Chi Tunnels tour by motorbike: The famous system of tunnels – the underground city is about 70 km from District 1 and you will have a chance to be ridden on a motorbike, see houses, villages, forests, and the countryside on the way.
