Saigon By Night and Street Food By Motorbike | Opt: Ao Dai Riders

1.Saigon By Night and Street Food By Motorbike | Opt: Ao Dai Riders

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,066 reviews · from $37Our pick

Ride through Ho Chi Minh City with an English-speaking guide such as Ana, Lily, Red, Fat, or Jacky. Eat grilled noodles, oysters, rice-paper salad, spring-roll vermicelli, and other local dishes while seeing District 4, Nguyen Trai Street, and Saigon River views.

“Certainly turned out to be the best experience in Saigon as it took you on a trip to parts of the city most visitors would not normally see. Fantastic street food in the quirky places that adventurous tourists would want to experience. Travelling by motorbike added to the sense of adventure where my driver 'Rain' expertly guided us through the busy shoal of other road users. What an evening to remember.”
