Great value ticket
I do these hop on hop offs in all cities . This was a 4 hour ticket x 2 for basically £15 . No complaints at price. It worth the bus ride round the city alone for that . In general not much to see in Saigon. The old posts office / notre dame stop being the only one. You can take great photos of the rest on the bus. It’s worth the money alone just to get a sense of direction in the bustling city..
Response from the operator: Thank you for choosing our service and for taking the time to leave a review. Your feedback helps us improve. We're happy you found the tour to be great value and enjoyed exploring the city from the bus. We're glad it helped you get your bearings, and we'll continue working to provide the best experience.

Save Your Money, check out another like tour
Worse tour ever. The staff on bus give no direction where to look according to the pre-recorded tape describing points of interests. The tape only speaks briefly. It doesn't direct tourists to look left, right, or other. Not worth the money. Will not recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you for choosing our service and for taking the time to leave a review. Your feedback helps us improve. We're sorry the tour did not meet your expectations. We take your concerns seriously and sincerely apologise for your experience. We'll investigate your feedback with our team to improve our service.

Saigon 1 hour bus tour December 2025
We did this tour, it’s the blue bus by the post office. The kit did not work in a lot of the seats for the headphones an we had to ask the staff to find out. The tour itself was poor not a lot to say on it. We have done a lot of these bus you and this was the worst one.
Response from the operator: Thank you for choosing our service and for leaving a review. Your feedback helps us improve. We’re sorry the tour and audio equipment did not meet your expectations. We take this seriously and will look into it. Please contact our Customer Happiness Team so we can assist you further.

Good For City Introduction
This is a good option if you want details about the main attractions of the city, with great convenience of riding the bus. If you want unobstructed views for your photos take a seat on the top deck. Just be sure to go in the morning to avoid too much heat from the sun. If you need a little relief you can always come down to the main cabin with air conditioning. If you plan to visit some of the places on the route, it’s best to get the hop on-hop off version for flexibility. I’ve used City Sightseeing in other cities and I always find them a great introduction to the location you’re visiting. It almost sets the mood for additional adventure. Travel curious and enjoy your next sightseeing experience!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear you found the Ho Chi Minh City Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour to be a convenient and informative way to get to know the city. Great tips about seating and timing — the top deck views are definitely a favorite when the weather cooperates, and the air-conditioned cabin is always a welcome retreat from the midday sun. We love your spirit of travel curiosity and truly appreciate you sharing your experience. Wishing you many more amazing adventures ahead!

Why this scores 42
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ho Chi Minh City Hop on Hop Off Bus Tour by Vistra: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Ho Chi Minh City Hop on Hop Off Bus Tour by Vistra cost?
+
Prices start at $45 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 Ho Chi Minh City Hop on Hop Off Bus Tour by Vistra take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Ho Chi Minh City Hop on Hop Off Bus Tour by Vistra worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 42 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 6 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 Ho Chi Minh City Hop on Hop Off Bus Tour by Vistra?
+
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 Ho Chi Minh City Hop on Hop Off Bus Tour by Vistra suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ho Chi Minh City Hop on Hop Off Bus Tour by Vistra?
+
Around 2 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ho Chi Minh City Hop on Hop Off Bus Tour by Vistra 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.
