Private Saigon History and Sightseeing By Scooter
Hop on a motorbike—like the locals—for a deep dive into Saigon’s culture. Following your guide, you’ll see how the city changes across its districts, from the well-to-do District 3 to the downtown vibes of District 10, from flower markets and small alleyways to the War Remnants Museum, the famous city post office, and more. You’ll even stop for coffee, peeking in the secret weapons cellar used during the Vietnam War.
