We spent a really enjoyable evening with the team, seeing the type of sights and local restaurants that you dream of when planning a trip to HCMC, but cannot find when you arrive. Driving around on the bike is a marvelous way to see the city, and the restaurants and food are local, authentic and delicious. The guides are knowledgeable... More

We only had one full day in Ho Chi Minh and decided to book the back of the bike tours for a more authentic experience. Thuy and Chad made the tour perfect! We tasted many local foods from vendors we would never have found on our own, all of them delicious! As we biked around the city (feeling like locals),... More

The best thing about this tour ... Thuy and Chad bring a relaxed, casual, comfortable atmosphere to the journey that makes it feel like your riding around the magical city with old friends! The food is delicious, fresh, tasty and traditional food that you'd otherwise miss. Travelling by scooter is great fun and the city lights up with a buzz... More

We had just 24 hours in Ho Chi Minh City as I thought it would be just another crazy city, but we wanted to make the most of it so decided on Back of the Bike Tours. We had the most amazing time! Chad and Thuy picked us up at our hotel right on time and after checking what food... More

A fantastic half day. Thuy was very informative, great English and able to get to areas of the city you just wouldn't see on a tour bus. Very reasonably priced vs similar services offered by the big hotels. BRILLIANT!!n Would do it again. Tom and Cecile More

Back of the bike tours is well worth doing. Chad and Thuy provide an exciting and tasteful tour. We did the night tour and were picked up and taken to several different locations to eat, Chad being a chef does all the ordering. Being on the bike is a lot safer then you think, its certainly safer then crossing the... More

We had an excellent time with Chad and Thuy, certainly the most memorable part of our visit to Ho Chi Minh City (HCM). First off, for the uninitiated, traffic is maniacal, literally berserk so jumping on the back of a scooter with a complete stranger to navigate this mess was quite the leap of faith. Despite this we felt in... More

we enjoyed this tour very much. It was fantastic and one of the highlights of our stay in Saigon. At first my girlfriend was a bit hesitant about riding the back of a motorbike but she and I absolutely loved it. Our tour drivers Thuy and Thao were excellent and very knowledgeable. The tour was really safe, so much fun,... More

We had such an amazing time on the back of the bikes in Ho chi Minh city. We got to enjoy the real food which was such a great adventure. We felt completely save within the chaos on the streets. Would truly recommend this to anyone visiting HCMC. More
