This was amazing,...
This was amazing, informative and a refreshing way to view the city. With our family with 3 kids (8-15yo) this felt both safe and exciting at the same time. With 5 scooters with conquered the city. Friendly drivers, and a good balance between driving and informative stops and walks/food stops. Thanks lin and crew!

Saigon by motorbike with Ryan
This was a fantastic morning tour with Ryan leading and Lilly and tu tu , great way to see some different sites of Saigon and learn the history of things

Good Morning Saigon!
Jack was a fantastic tour guide. His communication is excellent and he showed me many things that I wouldn’t have found by myself. Jack took time to explain the different places we have visited and also explaining about the history of all the sites. It was really enjoyable to see Saigon via a motorbike and I would highly recommend this. We ended with a delicious Pho lunch.

Great tour for an off the tourist path experience
Four of us; three of overseas and myself a resident here booked the tour to get some other experience. Harry led the four of us. He is very knowledgeable and understands the requirements of everyone. We had only limited time (due to our flight out the same day) and he amended the schedule accordingly. We started with a temple, the war museum, bun thit Nhung and ended with a coffee and bunker tour. The scooters are new and safe, the staff are safe drivers. Strongly recommend for a tour different to the typical tourist stuff; it’s going to be hot!

Through the eyes of a local
Wow what an amazing morning we all had travelling around the city on the back of a scooter. You really get the smell sights sounds and visit interesting areas/sights. From our hotel we were whisked in & out of the traffic to monuments, markets, coffee shop stop and local areas to understand how the locals live. Lunch in a noodle soup bar and refreshing coconut water. Our guides were very careful and knowledgeable and great fun. Thankyou Chung Harry Elly & Canary. I would highly recommend this tour we all loved it.

Saigon Morning Excursion by Scooter: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Saigon Morning Excursion by Scooter cost?
+
Prices start at $26 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 Saigon Morning Excursion by Scooter take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Saigon Morning Excursion by Scooter worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 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 Saigon Morning Excursion by Scooter?
+
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 Saigon Morning Excursion by Scooter suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Saigon Morning Excursion by Scooter?
+
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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Saigon Morning Excursion by Scooter 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 Cai Be Mekong Delta Tour: Cooking Class, Cycling & Craft Villages, Adventure Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From HCM, Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta 1 Day Tour With Small Group. 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.
What is included in Saigon Morning Excursion by Scooter?
+
Included: Private transportation; 1 meal and 2 drinks; Accident insurance; 1 eating stop and 2 kinds of drink; and Private friendly English speaking tour guide. Not included: Tips and Personal expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Saigon Morning Excursion by Scooter include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 483 listed pickup locations in and around Ho Chi Minh City. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Saigon Morning Excursion by Scooter offered in?
+
