★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 203 reviews · from $30Best value

Spend three hours seeing Ho Chi Minh City from a cyclo seat. An English-speaking guide such as Nam, Queenie, Barney, or Nkay leads you through Ho Thi Ky Flower Market, Ba Thien Hau Temple, and Binh Tay Market, with hotel pickup in Districts 1, 3, and 5.

“Mr Lac the 'driver' of our Cyclo. Lovely humble man who was an absolute expert at navigating the organised chaos on the streets of Ho Chi Min. In our 3 hours, i never saw another Cyclo, so I felt very lucky to have this unique way of seeing the sights of the city with my excellent young guide Nam, who followed us on a scouter. He was an excellent guide, wonderful English and with a comprehensive knowledge about Vietnam and this great City.

3.Small-group Saigon City Tour: 1-day Must-See Icons & Cyclo Ride

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 103 reviews · from $109

Spend about eight hours touring Ho Chi Minh City by air-conditioned minivan and cyclo. Visit Ho Thi Ky Flower Market, Thien Hau Temple, Reunification Palace, the War Remnants Museum, Central Post Office, Jade Emperor Pagoda, and Ben Thanh Market. Hotel pickup is available in Districts 1, 3, and 5.

“The city is beautiful, the tour was short , lunch that was included in the tour was very non impressive, no real taste of delicious Vietnamese food. Cycling was nice but somehow the tour guide should have explained about the places we were passing, maybe invest in the microphone. So we felt that this tour wasn’t as good as in other’s cities we visited.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 44 reviews · from $163

From Phu My or Lotus port, you ride into Ho Chi Minh City for a water puppet show, National History Museum, Emperor Jade Pagoda, Vietnamese lunch, and a cyclo tour past colonial landmarks. Guides such as Hai, Tien, and Kien have earned praise, though port pickup needs careful confirmation.

“Though a little expensive it was well worth it. The guide met us at our ship and gave us great information about Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City. Though it was foggy the day we took it, there are plenty of photo ops during the tour. The tour was 7 hours and met our expectations. The lunch was more french vietnamese...and was delicious. Soda or beer at lunch is not included in your fee you must pay yourself....but US dollars are readily accepted anywhere. The Cyclo ride modern day rickshaw was neat and enjoyable. The guide was flexible and found us a Starbucks we collect mugs from cities we visit…”
