What you'll see and do
The Venerable Thich Quang Duc Monument
On June 11, 1963, Thich Quang Duc rode to Saigon from the war-torn city of Huế in an Austin Westminster. He stepped out of the baby blue automobile onto a busy intersection and sat calmly in the lotus position while a colleague poured gasoline from a five-gallon container over his head. Surrounded by a circle of protesters, burned himself to death. He described his intentions in a final note: “I respectfully plead to President Ngo Dinh Diem to take a mind of compassion towards the people of the nation and implement religious equality to maintain the strength of the homeland eternally.” In 2010, a memorial, displaying the monk wreathed in flames, was installed on the very corner where he died a half century before. Prior to the statue, which sits in front of a bas-relief depicting the powerful action, American journalist Malcolm Browne’s photographs were the most accessible reminders of the event.

Thu Thiem 2 cable-stayed bridge is known as a new landmark has risen in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, which represents Finnish bridge know-how at its best: a magnificent cable-stayed bridge that crosses the Saigon River running through the city. The bridge’s backward sloping and curved pylon is distinctive and forms a unique landmark in Ho Chi Minh City. Despite its unusual shape, the structural design of the bridge is optimal. The 200-meter main span of the asymmetric cable-stayed bridge is a lightweight composite structure of steel and concrete, and the 115-meter back span is a concrete structure. With this solution, the structure has been brought into balance so that there are no bending stresses in the pylon due to permanent loads. The structure has also been optimized with the position of the angled cables of the back span. From other side of Saigon Central, you will have a chance to see the different part of Saigonese and you will have a chance to grab a series of attractive photos

Amazing street food tour.
We had wonderful time of the street food tour of Saigon. Devin and Marina were wonderful guides. We thoroughly enjoyed all the food we had, especially the beef and noodle soup! The pork skewers and passion fruit soda was so delicious!! You will love this tour and you will leave full! Thank you so much, Devin and Marina! We also enjoyed our scooter ride. That was so much fun!!

Siagon foodie bike bliss
Kelvin and Nam took us on a many hour bike tour through the streets of several Siagon districts, sampling popular local food and educating us on the finer points of street savvy. We had a blast.. our hosts were well versed, knowledgeable and a lot of fun. We always felt save and supported while delving into areas of Saigon that we might have otherwise missed. Highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Dear Nigel, Thank you for the 'blissful' review! I am thrilled to hear that you had a blast with Kelvin and Nam. They are indeed very passionate about sharing the 'finer points of street savvy' and local cuisine. Most importantly, I am glad you felt safe and supported throughout the ride. Navigating Saigon traffic is an adventure, and knowing you were in good hands makes us very proud. Thank you for highly recommending us! Best regards, Luc from Local Travel Vietnam/ Vietnam Tours VIP

Kelvin and Jerry were super great drivers and guides. We had 8 items and were comfortably full. We've done 2 other food tours and this one was great. I liked the student option to get to learn about their local lives as students and learning English. I highly recommend this tour and option.

Saigon Street Food Experience By Night: US Army Jeep or Motorbike: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Saigon Street Food Experience By Night: US Army Jeep or Motorbike cost?
+
Prices start at $39 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 Street Food Experience By Night: US Army Jeep or Motorbike take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Saigon Street Food Experience By Night: US Army Jeep or Motorbike worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Street Food Experience By Night: US Army Jeep or Motorbike?
+
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 Street Food Experience By Night: US Army Jeep or Motorbike suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Saigon Street Food Experience By Night: US Army Jeep or Motorbike?
+
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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Saigon Street Food Experience By Night: US Army Jeep or Motorbike 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 Street Food Experience By Night: US Army Jeep or Motorbike?
+
Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Motorbike driver & Bottled water; English speaking tour guide; and 13 - 16 must-eat different tastes of traditional Vietnamese street food. Not included: Personal expense/ tipping for guide & driver... Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Saigon Street Food Experience By Night: US Army Jeep or Motorbike include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 410 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 Street Food Experience By Night: US Army Jeep or Motorbike offered in?
