Saigon Vegetarian Tour by Motorbike and Scooter

About this tour

Hop on a scooter for a four-hour spin through Saigon's vegetarian food scene and neighbourhood culture. You'll taste crispy spring rolls and noodle dishes, cut through the flower market's chaos, wander Chinatown and its temples, sip tea at a local café, cruise past a floating market, then finish with mushroom hotpot in District 4. The ride itself is the point—weaving through local life rather than ticking off postcards.

What to expect

You'll ride pillion on a manual scooter through residential streets, markets, and along the river. Expect stops to stretch legs and eat—five food moments across four hours, so pace yourself. The guide narrates local life at each pause: who lives here, what they do, how the river community works. Traffic is thick but moving; helmets are quality and mandatory. You're not rushed through attractions, just passing through neighbourhoods on two wheels and stopping when something's worth tasting or discussing.

Good to know

Wear closed shoes and light layers. The bike does the heavy lifting—no pedalling or physical exertion required. Helmet, rain poncho, and fuel included. Not suitable if you have spine issues, are pregnant, or have heart concerns. Infants can sit on a lap; specialist seats available.
