Vespa Saigon By Night Street Food Tour: Local Eats & Live MusicA four-hour night tour of Saigon by vintage Vespa, starting with hotel pickup at 6pm and moving through the city's after-dark streets, markets and neighborhoods. You stop for Vietnamese pancakes and spring rolls at a local eatery, then seafood at a restaurant with local ambience, then dessert and live acoustic music at a cafe, and finish at a rooftop or live music bar. All food and drink are included, along with an English-speaking guide, bottled water and hotel drop-off.Is it for me?Book this tour if you're staying in a Saigon hotel without a car or scooter of your own—the pickup at 6pm and drop-off at the end means you step out of your room and into the night without arranging transport or navigating the streets yourself.
