Full description

This is a 7-hour experience from Ho Chi Minh City, built around Can Gio. It is run by VIETNAM STREET FOODS TOUR, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Japan's outdoors is organised: trails are marked, mountain huts are booked, and the walking routes with history, the Nakasendo post road between Magome and Tsumago and the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage in Wakayama, are done in comfortable day stages with luggage forwarded. Cycling tours use the flat river paths and back streets that cars avoid. The summer heat from July to September makes early starts essential in the cities and lowlands, while the mountains are cool. Winter turns Hokkaido and Nagano into ski country from December to March, with the powder that Niseko and Hakuba are known for.

The price covers Transportation by motorbike, High-quality open-faced helmet, All food and drinks, Rain poncho and guides. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

District 1. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with VIETNAM STREET FOODS TOUR before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

I believe every traveller to Saigon seeks a genuine connection with the people of the city. This experience delivered it for myself and my partner, and was unquestionably our favourite memory of Saigon. Tyrone and Beck were fantastic, informative and attentive without a fault. We had an excellent stream of non stop conversation on the road, in comfort, on the back of a bike cruising through the mangroves. You will not find a better way to experience this part of the country. For everyone considering - book without hesitation. The experience itself was excellent

Never having been on a motorbike prior to this tour, I feel that I left as an expert passenger. We got to experience a slice of what life is like for locals that leave the city to visit the Can Gio beach and seafood market. I highly recommend eating a small breakfast before being picked up and bringing sunscreen, face mask and sunglasses for the ride, water and bug spray. If you’re able to, pack light and avoid loose articles of clothing (have a bag to store your things). The monkeys will climb on you if they feel you have something easy to steal! AVOID CARRYING PLASTIC BAGS! They heavily asso

Super fun day trip, I definitely recommend it. it was even better than the trip to the Mekong Delta. What made the trip absolutely memorable was my driver, Long. He was the sweetest guy, very considerate. His English was perfect and he could explain a lot to me. He made sure that the trip was not an average tour you can do with a bus but a unique experience. Thanks for a great day :)

Long is a great guide, knowledgeable and with a very relaxed vibe. The motorcycle ride brings you closer to daily life. Experiencing the transition from busy city to mangrove forest to seaside is magical!

Amazing tour. Tin was our guide and was really knowledgeable. Monkey island is beautiful, and the part about Vietnam war was really interesting. We had an amazing time!

Frequently Asked Questions
