What to expect
While the famous Ben Thanh Market located in the center of Ho Chi Minh is a great place to find classic Saigon souvenirs, the city is also home to an array of distinctive markets with not-so-hidden treasures. Take a half day trip by motorbike and explore the bustling markets in the morning, when the products are at their best and freshest and the area is pulsing with life. Together with your driver-slash-guide, go beyond the traditional Vietnamese markets and visit bazaars that sell secondhand items and antiques, and pass by a War Objects Market, where military uniforms are bought and sold together with heavy duty travel tools like backpacks, compasses, flashlights, and more. Immerse yourself in the flower and animal markets, as well as a floating market and a traditional medicine market. Throughout the morning, you'll get a taste of the culture and customs of the locals that thrive in these streets. This tour also comes with a convenient hotel pick up and drop off services for your travel convenience!




Reviews
Couldn't finish my tour because I was sick and requested to be dropped off early to my hotel. But my guide was great, very knowledgeable, chirpy, bright, and kind. He was very understanding of my sickness. I wish I could have finished the tour as it was really enjoyable. Maybe next time!
Our two drivers, Vincent and Hieu, made this trip the highlight of our time in Saigon. Their knowledge and friendly personalities, combined with an outstanding itinerary, far exceeded our expectations. We went on the morning markets tour (which we have recommended to everyone we have spoken to since!), which involved visiting so many places we would never have found on our own… and every place was different and fascinating. The whole trip felt like we had returned to Saigon from times gone by, with narrow streets (navigated with excellence due to their safe and confident driving skills) and crowds of locals going about their daily lives. The whole experience in the markets, combined with very tasty coconut, ban mi and the best (butter) coffee I have ever drank, all made for a truly unique and unforgettable experience. They both spoke excellent English. We cannot recommend this tour and these drivers enough. Thank you Vincent and Hieu, we had the absolute best time! 10* plus!
It was a great experience to experience the traditional market. The guide explained passionately about the traditional market and culture of Vietnam. It would have been better if there was a Korean guide.
A fantastic experience! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and chatty throughout the trip. You can participate and fully understand Vietnamese culture.
do book this tour when visiting vietnam! was a highlight of my trip there and worth every trip. the guide brought us to places that i didnt know and its such a fulfilling trip to go around the different sights of vietnam. vincent our guide were fluent in english thus, no difficulty in communication at all. such a 5/5 experience and get to know more about vietnam, drank the nicest coffee and made new friends with the guide!
The best tour I experienced in terms of flexibilities, hospitalities, stories and discoveries. Anh (the guide) is genuinely interested in the questions she asked and shared a lot of her stories and background which was really enjoyable. I can only recommend you to book this tour for yourself and with a group. I was supposed to be with my girlfriend for the tour in the morning, but due to her condition I thought I would cancel the trip and stay with her at the hotel nevertheless they told me that they could reschedule a tour or even do it during the afternoon! I was really surprise and happy about their understanding and flexibility. Indeed some markets were only open in the morning and I had my flight back the next day. Thus Anh came up with some other markets and back alley food neighborhoods and took me there for the afternoon. Again thank you for all of that!
Our knight is very good at English and is a professional tour guide! Along the way, I went to various local markets to experience local culture, tasted a variety of local fruits, and they were all very fresh and delicious; at the flower market, the guide sent us lotus flowers, which are the national flower of Vietnam, which is quite elegant; beef that is close to noon The soup soup head is great and unforgettable. Finally, I was lucky to drink the coconut milk coffee that was limited during the Lane Lane Cafe. While chatting, the tour guide also gave us many suggestions on the itinerary. I highly recommend this itinerary. Remember to do it before going out. Sun protection measures ~
Amazing Morning Markets Motorbike Tour! Just finished the Morning Markets Motorbike Tour with Ao Dai Rider – it was fantastic! My guide Mallorie was super friendly and explained everything clearly. We visited the authentic local market, a charming little floating market, enjoyed fresh coconut, explored the huge Binh Tay Market, and more hidden spots. Riding through Saigon felt safe and exciting. Highly recommend this tour and Mallorie – she made it unforgettable! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
5 star review from me because there was nothing I would change in this tour. There are very few tours which offer a glimpse of the wet markets of Saigon and I highly recommend it for all travellers to Saigon. The markets are only open in the morning so this is the only time to take the tour. This tour was really special to me because I had the chance to interact with other locals at the various shops in an organic way and it was so much fun! I really appreciated how my tour guide Duy took care of my safety and dietary requirements. This tour is vegetarian friendly! Highly recommended for travellers to Saigon and people who prefer sightseeing in an exciting unconventional way. Big thank you to Duy and team for making my first Saigon trip so enjoyable - I will be back!!
Best way to experience HCM is via motorbike! My only regret is we should have booked the city tour instead of the market tour only. We had amazing tour guides, Binh & Hun (I hope I spelled it right!). They are very kind, cool & they share fun trivia about Vietnam!!! Looking forward to booking them again next time we visit HCM!
