Saigon Motorbike adventure - We had an absolutely amazing time on this tour. We had never ridden on motorbikes before and Ming’s team set our minds at ease and made an amazing experience weaving through alleys with expertise. The food was delicious and the team were very accommodating to adjust our start time and accommodate allergies. Mings knowledge and humour were a delight. I highly recommend this tour.

My tour guide Moon took me to a couple places around Ho Chi Minh City and then we went to a village 50 minutes outside the city, where we went to a temple with a stunning garden and had some local food. I definitely recommend booking, it's a great way to both experience local life and learn history.
