Tour pela Favela de Moto

We did a slum tour of Ho Chi Minh City with Mallorie and Kay, and honestly it was one of the best tours we’ve ever done. It gave us a real insight into the different lifestyles and realities of Vietnamese people in a way that felt respectful, eye-opening, and genuine. Mallorie and Kay were thoughtful, informative, and so easy to talk to throughout the experience. They shared personal stories, local knowledge, and answered all our questions openly, which made the tour feel much more personal than a standard tourist experience. It was an experience that really stayed with us and gave us a deeper appreciation and understanding of Vietnam beyond the usual tourist spots. Highly recommend.

The tour was amazing! The guide and the drivers were caring and polite. We saw many places hidden from tourists' sight, which was really interesting. Bean told us a lot about the slums and the people. Thank you!

I really enjoyed this slum tour! Our guide, Hana, was amazing, very detailed and informative. I learned a lot of things during the tour, and it even reminded me of my previous home. I also liked that the group was small, which made the experience more personal and comfortable. And the banh mi was the best I’ve had! Highly recommended experience. 🙏✨

It's a wonderful tour where you can see how Vietnamese people live. However, it's not a slum. I asked a local friend, and they said the boats are for business, not for living, and everyone has their own separate homes. Plus, they don't look that poor... Of course, it's true that these people are less well-off than those in the city center, but I don't think it's really necessary to take a tour there. Just visiting on your own would be a good way to see it. Honestly, this isn't a slum, and they don't seem to be living in such difficult circumstances...

I highly recommend booking this tour. Even if your English isn't great, you can still join! Our guide, Vincent, was incredibly warm and enthusiastic in introducing us to parts of Ho Chi Minh City beyond the typical tourist spots (his eyes lit up as he spoke, and he has developed many unique themed tours). Through Vincent's stories, we learned about the various ways residents build their own homes and survive in the city, filled with human kindness and warm social care. My favorite was the houseboat from the Mekong River (carrying coconuts, fruits, and other produce from the Mekong Delta to sell in the city). As for food, highlights included the coconut water sold on the houseboat, sesame shrimp crackers, a super local 85-year-old coffee shop, and delicious banh mi. These are things you wouldn't see without a local guide. All in all, I highly recommend it.

Danny and Sophie took great care if us and it was good to see the city on a bike. We did the 8am trip and so it was nice and cool. Highly recommend this 3 to 4 hour visit.

The day before the tour, I was contacted via WhatsApp, and our guide Tom (Peter) arrived punctually at the hotel to pick me up. He guided us through three slum areas, which he called Land, Water, and Air, each facing different levels of hardship. He has a deep understanding of these areas and has even interviewed people in the community, so he is very knowledgeable. The tour included a cup of coffee and Bún Bò noodles. He also answered all my other questions about Vietnamese culture, helping me understand a lot. He's a fantastic guide, highly recommended!

Sehr interessante Tour abseits der Hauptattraktionen von Ho-Chi-Minh-Stadt. Wir bekamen einen beeindruckenden Einblick, wie arme / normale Menschen leben. Großartiger Reiseführer mit fantastischem Wissen. Ich kann diese Tour sehr empfehlen.

The tour guide spoke entirely in English. Since I know a little basic English, communication was fine. The itinerary took me to places that regular travel agencies would never go, allowing me to see the real daily life of ordinary Vietnamese people. Honestly, there's no need to worry about personal safety due to security issues as much as one might imagine; that was truly an overthinking. For example, when I passed by a resident's doorway, an old lady drying clothes even greeted me, which was really interesting. We also went to a small local supermarket and bought some things, and they were incredibly cheap. All in all, if you want to experience a different way of traveling, I highly recommend it!

This morning I got up early and joined Bean for a  slum tour, and what an amazing experience it was. The tour ran for roughly 4 hours, and from the moment I was picked up we were off scooting around the city exploring places I never would have found on my own. Beans English is excellent, and his knowledge of Vietnamese culture, daily life, and local history was incredible. Every question I asked was answered with enthusiasm and insight. He was cheerful, friendly, and an absolute pleasure to spend the morning with. We stopped for coffee by the river before finishing with a delicious pho lunch, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend Bean and his services to anyone wanting a unique and authentic experience. Definitely 10/10!
