Step Off the Beaten Path and Discover the Hidden Soul of Saigon
Step away from the usual tourist trails and experience Saigon in a way most visitors never will. Our Saigon's Secrets Vespa city tour is designed for travelers who crave something deeper than just the postcard highlights. This is not your average sightseeing tour. It’s an immersive storytelling journey that brings Saigon’s rich history and living culture to life.
A Journey Through Saigon’s History
From the arrival of the Chinese settlers centuries ago, to the grandeur of the French colonial era, and the turbulence of the Vietnam War, this Vespa tour uncovers the layers of history that shaped today’s Ho Chi Minh City. We’ll take you to lesser-known historical landmarks, hidden temples, and cultural relics where fascinating stories unfold, places you won’t find on a typical motorbike tour in Saigon.
Explore the Daily Life of Saigonese & Chinatown
Beyond monuments and historical sites, we dive into the rhythm of daily life. You’ll witness the traditions of the Chinese-Vietnamese community in Cholon (Chinatown), explore the colorful way of locals' life, and step into sacred temples that are full of history, mystery, and meaning. This blend of past and present gives you a complete picture of Saigon, from its hidden corners to its cultural heartbeat.
More Than Just a Tour: A Storytelling Experience
This is not just another city tour in Saigon. It’s a carefully curated storytelling adventure, guided by out expert storytellers who bring each stop to life with rich details, untold tales, and authentic perspectives; paired with top-notch customer service, ensuring comfort, safety, and a truly premium experience.
What to Expect:
This isn’t your typical city tour. It’s a slow-paced, thoughtfully curated experience designed to show you the true essence of Saigon – its secrets, its soul, and the stories hidden in plain sight.
In 4 hours from 8am to 12pm, you will spend this city tour cruising in style on a vintage Vespa through five different districts in Saigon, learning about the city’s secrets not many people know.
A little tip to make your trip more enjoyable: Since the tour happens during the day which can be quite hot in Saigon and there’s a temple stop on the route, dress comfortably so you won’t struggle while traveling through the traffic and don’t forget to cover your shoulder.
Vespas, snacks, refreshing drinks, laughter, and a lot of secrets and stories of Saigon even the locals are not aware of.
Rest assured that you will see the true face of Saigon and learn about her stories, culture and secrets, not the touristy spots and tourist traps.
