Description

Begin your adventure with a warm welcome at the meeting point at 8.00am. Get a quick briefing on the route, safety guidelines, and get set up with your bike and gear. Cycle through local streets to the Le Van Duyet Mausoleum, one of Vietnam’s most cherished military heroes. Lock up your bikes for a 20-minute guided walk through this significant historical site and the bustling Ba Chieu Market, offering a vibrant insight into daily life. Cycle to a local coffee shop for a refreshing break, giving you time to rest your legs, chat with your guide, and experience Saigon’s lively coffee culture. Enjoy fresh fruits and local snacks for a little extra energy before continuing the ride. Continue your route as you ride to and across the Thủ Thiêm Bridge. From the opposite bank of the Saigon River, take a few minutes to admire and photograph the breathtaking panoramic skyline of the city. Cycle back into the heart of city center via the Ba Son Bridge. Make a quick stop at the memorial statue next to the Independence Palace to discuss its historical significance before enjoying a relaxing ride through the green paths of Tao Dan Park. The tour’s historical core takes you to a Secret Bunker hidden beneath a coffee shop, once used during the Vietnam War to shelter fighters and store supplies. For the final leg, truly explore the 'different angles' of Saigon. Your guide will lead you off the beaten path—into hidden alleyways and along quiet canal roads where daily life unfolds away from the tourist crowds. This is where you’ll discover the real Saigon: families cooking by their doorsteps, kids playing in narrow lanes, the gentle rhythm of locals going about their day. The ride concludes as we arrive back at the starting point, where you can share your favorite moments from the tour.
