Morning Markets Motorbike Tour
Super fun! Ho Chi Minh City is famous for its many motorcycles, and it’s more exciting to sit in and out! In addition, the tour guide knew that my friend and I had not eaten breakfast, and they took me to the local market to eat pho. It was really impossible to go to the car; Zhongyou took me to the first cafe in Viet to buy coffee powder together. This is an event. Really 10 tweets!

Slum Tour by Motorbike
It’s rare to have the opportunity to come into contact with different faces of Ho Chi Minh City. The organizer has already known and screened the slums beforehand. Tourists don’t have to worry about safety. The guide this time is Vinh. The English is very fluent and the introduction is very detailed.

Saigon Motorbike Adventures
Ho Chi Minh college students riding motorcycles to take passengers to roam the city, showing tourists to sights not seen by ordinary tourists, such as "houses" in Ho Chi Minh City, well-known "ghost buildings", underground bunkers during the Vietnam War, Chinese beliefs Mazu Temple, visiting local markets, and houses built after World War II. University student guides will also take tourists to eat the most authentic pho, French bread, while eating and walking and telling the historical style of the place, the harvest is full.

Ho Chi Minh City & Cu Chi Tunnels Full Day Tour
Although it is in English, the content is easy to understand! The itinerary is very fulfilling, and the lunch is very delicious 😍 Generally, you can finish the shallow Ho Chi Minh City by buying a package of itinerary, and you will basically step on the bigger ones! The tour guide is lively and interesting. In the process, you can learn a lot of the history of wars and why Vietnam has become like this until now. I think it is very recommended
