Saigon Vespa Tours: Ho Chi Minh City from the Back of a Vintage Vespa
Saigon Vespa tours are guided rides around Ho Chi Minh City on the back of a classic Vespa, with a professional driver for every guest and an English-speaking guide. Choose a 4.5-hour city tour, a lunch or dinner food tour, an evening street food and live music tour, or a half day in the villages on the edge of the Mekong Delta – from US$73 per person, with hotel pick-up included.
Options: city sights (4.5 hours), food at lunch or dinner (3.5–4 hours), after dark (4 hours) or countryside (5 hours).
Group size: small group, or private for your party only.
Included: Vespa with driver, full-face helmet, guide, food or lunch as listed and hotel pick-up in central Ho Chi Minh City.
Good to know: you ride as a passenger – no licence needed.

Good to know (2026): Notre Dame Cathedral Saigon is still under restoration and Independence Palace is seen from outside on the Vespa city tour. Since July 2025 Ho Chi Minh City uses wards instead of districts, but locals still say “District 1”.
