Beyond Happy with VN Bike Tour!
Amazing experience. Tinh Tim,Jay and Leo picked us up from our hotel and took us around streets and districts we'd never been to before in Saigon to experience some delicious Vietnamese street food. We also got to visit a flower market and watch foods being cooked. The boys explained everything to us and made us feel so safe on their bikes. They were such fun and we all agreed great value for money. If you are in Saigon We highly recommend this tour with Tim and the boys,, you're not put into big crowds with other people it's your own tour with your people, filled in our evening and definitely filled our tummies. We laughed lots and learnt lots. Loved everything about it. Extremely happy with our tour. Totally awesome
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are grateful for your support and hope to continue creating memorable journeys for travelers from around the world.

Great Experience
Booked an afternoon motorbike tour through the hotel concierge. Had never been on a motorbike before, our guides Hanne and Thong were excellent. We toured the backstreets of Saigon and plenty of other stops which we would never have found ourselves - had a lovely lunch - and dropped back at the hotel - a great experience would definitely recommend.

Do yourself a favour and get on this tour with Tim & Jay
Booked this last minute - exceeded my expectations. Rather than the main touristy things, we got 4 hours of real authentic Saigon hosted by Jay & Tom as our riders. These guys were the best and shared their love of HCM City, its food, culture and traditions as we ventured through back alleyways and experiencing Saigon like a local. Had the best time and these guys were awesome - highly recommend
Response from the operator: Thank you for your fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that your last-minute booking exceeded expectations and that you enjoyed experiencing authentic Saigon with Jay and Tim. It’s wonderful to know that exploring the city’s back alleys, food, culture, and traditions gave you such a memorable local experience. Jay and Tim will be very happy to hear your kind words about their energy, knowledge, and hospitality. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are glad you had such a great time with us. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in Ho Chi Minh City!

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Saigon scooter City: Hidden Streets, Local Markets & Street Food: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Saigon scooter City: Hidden Streets, Local Markets & Street Food cost?
+
Prices start at $55 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 scooter City: Hidden Streets, Local Markets & Street Food take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 scooter City: Hidden Streets, Local Markets & Street Food worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 59 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 scooter City: Hidden Streets, Local Markets & Street Food?
+
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 scooter City: Hidden Streets, Local Markets & Street Food suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Saigon scooter City: Hidden Streets, Local Markets & Street Food?
+
Around 21 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Saigon scooter City: Hidden Streets, Local Markets & Street Food 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.
