Excursion Saigon by scooter tour at Ho Chi Minh

Explore the highlights of one of the most vibrant cities in Southeast Asia from the back of a scooter, traveling just like a local. You will scoot by and stop to visit a number of lovely destinations, including the famed Ho Thi Ky flower market, the atmospheric pagoda in Chinatown named after Ong Bon, the guardian who presides over happiness and wealth.

Zip back to the city center with your driver to stop and take pictures outside the stunning Notre Dame Cathedral, built between 1877 and 1883. Pass by Cho Lon along the way, where you can observe Chinese medicine practitioners make traditional medicine.

Another charming stop next to the cathedral is the Grand Central Post Office, designed by Gustav Eiffel and been beautifully preserved, offering visitors a chance to imagine life in the time of the Indochinese Empire. Receive a stamped postcard which you can send back home from the famous post office. Your final stop by motor coach will be at Ben Thanh market, where there is time to enjoy the market on your own and enjoy a glass of the famous Vietnamese coffee.
