All of our drivers are highly trained, fully licensed professionals who drive at a slow, safe, and steady pace. We provide premium, sanitized helmets and navigate through quieter alleys whenever possible. Simply settle in behind your expert driver and soak up the atmosphere!

If there is a heavy downpour, we will happily pause for a delicious Vietnamese coffee until it passes. In the rare case of extreme weather, we offer flexible rescheduling or a full refund.
Do you cater to vegan, vegetarian, or allergy-restricted guests? Can I still enjoy the food tastings?
Yes, 100%! Because this is a private Ho Chi Minh City tour, we can fully customize the culinary experience to match your dietary needs. Vietnam has incredible vegetarian and vegan street food options. Just let us know your preferences or allergies when booking, and we will tailor the menu just for you.
What is the most comfortable clothing to wear on the back of the bike?
Comfort is key! We recommend wearing light, breathable clothing and comfortable walking shoes, as we will be exploring markets and underground bunkers on foot. Please note: Since we will be stopping at the Thich Quang Duc monument, we recommend wearing clothing that covers your shoulders and knees as a sign of respect.
Can I bring my camera or a bag on the motorbike?
Yes, you can bring a small backpack or cross-body bag. However, for your comfort and safety, we recommend bringing only the essentials (phone, camera, sunglasses, sunscreen, and some cash). Your driver can safely store your small bag in the front of the scooter while riding.
