My business partner and I went on a night foodie tour with Justin as our guide. He led us to various restaurants where we tried a wide array of delicious dishes! Make sure you come hungry because this tour is a culinary adventure not to be missed, especially for newcomers eager to experience authentic Vietnamese cuisine.

Excellent Foodie Tour
We had a truly magical time on the foodie scooter tour. Our guides were Castle and Cane and we appreciated them so much. The food was delicious and well planned. They were great drivers. And they were incredibly fun to spend time with. I couldn't more highly recommend this tour. It was the highlight of our time in Saigon.
Response from the operator: Thank you for being our valued customer. We are so grateful for the pleasure of serving you and hope we met your expectation

Amazing food tour!
The tour was amazing! Rachel and Tim were very friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly, all the food was delicious! At the end, we did a little evening ride through the city and we felt also very safe on the motorcycle :) Cảm ơn Rachel and Tim!
Response from the operator: Thank you for being our valued customer. We are grateful for the pleasure of serving you and meeting your needs. We wish you a beautiful holiday.

Amazing experience!
The activity itself was amazing as we got to join the iconic motorcycle/scooter crowd of Saigon. More importantly, our guides and drivers kept us feeling safe so much so that my parents (aged 55 and 56) had a great time in spite of being vehemently anti-motorbike previously for safety reasons. The guides were informative and extremely friendly, trying their best to accommodate all our needs and plan changes.
Response from the operator: Thank you for being our valued customer. We are grateful for the pleasure of serving you and meeting your needs. We wish you a beautiful holiday.

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Exploring Saigon by Scooter, Day or Night: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Exploring Saigon by Scooter, Day or Night cost?
+
Prices start at $36 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ho Chi Minh City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Exploring Saigon by Scooter, Day or Night take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ho Chi Minh City is not rushed.
Is Exploring Saigon by Scooter, Day or Night worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 68 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Exploring Saigon by Scooter, Day or Night?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Exploring Saigon by Scooter, Day or Night suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Exploring Saigon by Scooter, Day or Night?
+
Around 24 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ho Chi Minh City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ho Chi Minh City and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Exploring Saigon by Scooter, Day or Night start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ho Chi Minh City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ho Chi Minh City?
+
On Outty we rank every Ho Chi Minh City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Adventure Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From HCM, Cu Chi Tunnels Small-Group Tour: Vietnam War Underground Network, Cu Chi underground tour - Learn Vietnam war with others. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
