PickupAt your hotel

Ride a Vespa through Saigon's backstreets to food stalls locals eat at, not the ones tourists find alone.

A 4-hour Saigon night tour on the back of a vintage Vespa, starting with hotel pickup at 6 p.m. and ending at a live music bar. You stop at five street food vendors to eat seafood, banh xeo, banh khot, banana cake and ice cream, all included with beer and local drinks, then spend an hour listening to live music where young Vietnamese unwind. The guide speaks English and rides with you through backstreets and alleys.

The Experience

The Vespa picks you up at your hotel at 6 p.m. and takes you to a coffee shop meeting point, where the group gathers before the ride begins. From there, the driver navigates backstreets and alleys to show you how the city moves at night—not the main roads, but the passages locals use to get around. This is the frame for what comes next: five stops at street food stalls where the food is what people actually eat, not what guidebooks list.

The first stop is a seafood vendor where you eat five or six dishes and watch how locals order and eat there, with beer included. You spend 40 minutes at the banh xeo and nem lui stall—two of the most famous foods in the city—trying both and drinking local beer while the driver points out beautiful parts of the night cityscape on the way. A banana cake stop comes next with the story of how the dish is made, then ice cream before the group heads to the live music bar.

The live music bar is where you spend the final hour. This is where the younger generation of Vietnamese come to unwind and show off their style—not a tourist venue, but a place locals actually go. You get a drink included and sit with the group while the music plays. The whole evening is built around eating what people eat and being where people go, all from the back of a Vespa instead of walking or taking a taxi on your own.

Is this one for you?Hotel pickup at 6 p.m. means you don't need to find the meeting point or arrange your own transport to the backstreets where the food stalls are—the driver collects you and brings you to the group, so the evening is ready to go when you step outside.
