The experience

The motorbike picks you up from your hotel in District 1 or 3, and your guide handles the route through four of Saigon's neighborhoods while you sit back and watch the city shift. You stop first at Ho Thi Ky Flower Market, the biggest wholesale flower market in the city, then walk into the street food stalls behind it to try Saigon Pizza and banana crispy crackers. The guide chooses every vegan stall by taste and safety, not by guidebook. These are the places locals actually eat.

From there you ride to Nguyen Thien Thuat, the oldest apartment building in Saigon, and climb up to see the contrast between the modern and traditional architecture. There's a pagoda built inside the old building itself. Then the motorbike takes you into Cholon, the largest Chinatown in Vietnam, where the streets are packed with traditional shops, markets and food stalls. Across the four hours you taste Vietnamese savory crispy pancake with mango leaves, banh mi, traditional steamed rice with vegetables and tofu, noodle soup, fresh spring rolls, banh tam bi, kumquat juice and jasmine tea: nine vegan foods and drinks chosen by your guide's own preference.

The tour is private, so you set the time that works for your trip. The guide speaks English, the helmet and rain poncho are included, and the motorbike and fuel are covered. If you have dietary requirements or want other food options, let the operator know when you book.
