A Quick Guide to Ho Chi Minh City Motorbike Tours
This quick guide gives you the essentials you should know before booking a motorbike tour in Ho Chi Minh City — from safety to weather and who these tours are suitable for.
Safety on Ho Chi Minh City Motorbike Tours
Motorbike tours in Ho Chi Minh City are safe when done with experienced, licensed local drivers who understand the traffic and how to navigate it smoothly. Helmets are always provided, routes avoid unnecessary risks, and the pace is comfortable even for people nervous about riding in Vietnam.
Types of Motorbike Tours Available
There are several styles of motorbike tours, depending on what you want to experience. Most travelers choose one of these:
- Street Food Tours – Explore local dishes and hidden food spots across the city.
- City Highlights Tours – Visit cultural landmarks, markets, and local districts.
- Local District Tours – See real neighborhoods, backstreets, and daily life.
- Night Tours – Experience the energy of Saigon after dark and cooler temperatures.
Motorbike tours are flexible, and you can often combine elements from different styles.
What Happens When It Rains?
Tours still operate when it rains — it’s part of daily life in Ho Chi Minh City, and locals simply continue as normal. Your guide will provide ponchos, adjust the route to keep things comfortable, and make more covered stops if needed. Light rain can even feel refreshing in the city’s warm climate.
Riding vs. Sitting on the Back (Easy Rider Style)
On a standard motorbike tour, you always sit on the back — you never drive yourself. This is the safest, most comfortable way to explore the city and enjoy the experience. Self-driving is only possible if you request it specifically AND hold a valid motorbike license plus an IDP, and even then it must follow our guide’s lead.
Who Motorbike Tours Are Suitable For
Motorbike tours are suitable for almost everyone — solo travelers, couples, families, first-time visitors, and even people who feel nervous about the traffic. Children can join as well, as long as they are comfortable and able to sit safely on the back with an experienced driver.
