This Ho Chi Minh City electric motorbike tour starts at the historic Saigon Post Office, where you’ll meet your host and fellow KIX travelers.

We then weave through the city, passing modern skyscrapers as we head to a local wet market. Wander through this lively bazaar with your KIX host, who will show you some unusual finds and offer you a refreshing coconut or some seasonal fruit along the way.

Back on the electric motorbike, we continue through the city’s laneways to a memorial site where you’ll learn a remarkable piece of history rarely discovered by tourists.

Next, visit a traditional Saigon neighborhood. This is a unique opportunity to scratch beneath the surface and learn about daily life in the big city. KIX will introduce you to some of the friendly residents, who will share their unique stories with you. 

We’ll make a quick stop at a café tucked inside a historic building that blends Chinese and French architecture. Grab a strong Vietnamese coffee for a caffeine boost before we zigzag through town and through time!

Next, we’ll explore one of Saigon’s largest slum areas, home to many migrant families. Follow your KIX host through the neighborhood and get a glimpse of everyday life in this part of the city.

No Saigon city tour by electric motorbike would be complete without some noodles! KIX will take you to a popular local spot where you’ll sample one of Saigon’s most beloved dishes. With a full belly and a camera full of photos, your Ho Chi Minh City electric motorbike tour wraps up with a hotel drop-off. 

Highlights:
  • Wander through a lively local wet market with your host and take a break with a refreshing coconut or some seasonal fruit
  • Weave through city lanes to a memorial site with a little-known piece of history
  • Step into one of Saigon’s largest slum areas and discover everyday lives of families who call it home
