Ho Chi Minh City Saigon Slum Communities Motorbike Tour with Banh Mi & Vietnamese Coffee

Ride a motorbike like a local
through Saigon's slum communities

After pickup from your hotel in District 1 or 3 or the meeting point at Saigon Opera House, hop on the back of a motorbike and head to slum communities in and around the city center. See old slum neighborhoods, riverside areas, and districts under redevelopment for a close-up look at another side of this fast-growing city. Choose from several options, including a 2-hour glimpse tour.

Visit old slum neighborhoods
once controlled by the mafia

Visit old slum neighborhoods in areas formerly controlled by the mafia. Your guide shares honest insights into life in the slums, post-war Vietnamese society, and the many families who make a living through small businesses and day labor.

Pass riverside communities
from District 3 to District 7

Ride through riverside areas stretching from District 3 to District 7 and neighborhoods undergoing demolition and redevelopment, and see the city's rapid change and the challenges faced by low-income residents. Feel Saigon's sharp contrasts between rich and poor, old and new.

Relax at a local coffee shop
with Vietnamese coffee and bánh mì

Stop at a local coffee shop to relax with Vietnamese coffee and learn more about local culture and daily life. One local drink (coconut, coffee, or another local drink) and a taste of bánh mì, the Vietnamese baguette sandwich, are included, and photos are taken during the tour.
