Saigon Motorbike Tour: An Authentic Way to Experience Saigon

Experience Saigon motorbike food tour in style on a vintage vespa

As soon as you exit the International Terminal at Tan Son Nhat Airport to begin your adventure in Vietnam, many things will hit your senses - the moist air, the aroma of coffee, and of course, the sounds of motorbike horns.

If you’re traveling to Saigon - also known as Ho Chi Minh City - it’s likely you are looking to experience Vietnam from a local, authentic experience. Most travelers want to enjoy all that Vietnam has to offer. Whether that be slurping a bowl of noodles on the street side or experiencing local life such as wandering the bustling markets while trying to haggle with locals on souvenirs to take back home. While walking is a great form of transportation to enjoy the city, we highly recommend hopping on a motorbike to have a true Saigon experience.

The popularity of motorbikes in Vietnam

According to Statista, 87% of Vietnamese use motorbikes as their primary method of transportation. While motorbikes have been around in Vietnam since colonial times, after the Vietnam War (also referred to as the American War) ended in 1975, they became more accessible to the average Vietnamese household as they are cheaper than a car and allow for easy entry in and out of tiny alleyways.

While there are many different brands and styles of motorbikes, Vespas, in particular, were brought to Vietnam by the French; however once they left the country in the early 1950s, many Vespas were left behind. When the Vietnam-American War began, it made it hard to import more into the country. It wasn’t until the 1990s that imports returned to normal. This is what makes our vintage Vespas so special - they’re a piece of Vietnam history!

We’re sure you’ll enjoy touring all the food stops while riding in style on our vintage Vespas.
