NOTE: I want to confirm that the tour is by SCOOTER, not walking. The tour lasts 4 hours, not including food and coffee as stated in my description. I can pick you up at your hotel address in central districts 1,3, or 4. Other local districts, you will meet us at the meeting place, Saigon Opera House.

Because this tour is by SCOOTER , so we will have 2 options for you:

First option: The rented scooter fee is 7$ USD = 180k per scooter, you drive it by yourself. If you prefer to ride a scooter yourself, you must have a valid international scooter/motorbike license. Additionally, you will be responsible for your own safety and any accidents that may occur during the tour. After the tour 4 hours, if you don't want to return the scooter, you can keep it as long as in 24 hours. Or you can rent your own scooter and join the tour with us. .

Second option: We will be your drivers & tour guides, you will sit behind our scooters, each tour guide will drive each guest, including the insurance accident. This option is a private tour, so I can even conduct the tour with 1 guest.

(if you can not do the first option, you can consider choosing second option or choose other walking tours if you feel it inconvenient)
