This scooter tour covers central Ho Chi Minh City’s key historical and cultural sites over about four hours. The route begins at the Reunification Palace, a significant landmark in Vietnam’s history. Participants then visit Notre-Dame Cathedral, known for its two 58-meter bell towers built between 1863 and 1880, followed by the nearby Saigon Central Post Office, designed in the 1880s by Gustave Eiffel. The tour continues with a stop at the Saigon Opera House, constructed in 1897 by Eugene Ferret and still used for opera and classical music performances. Next is a visit to Nguyen Hue Street, the city’s first walking street, where visitors can observe the busy downtown and its architecture. The Jade Emperor Pagoda, built about 100 years ago by the local Chinese Cantonese community and visited by President Obama in 2016, is another key stop. The final highlight is a visit to a secret weapons bunker located beneath a house on Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street in District 3. This underground shelter once stored over two tons of weapons used by Saigon Rangers during the 1968 General Offensive and Uprising. The tour includes motorbike fuel, accident insurance, a high-quality open-faced helmet, and a rain poncho if needed. There is an option to ride with a female Ao Dai rider if booked at least six hours in advance. Vegetarian options and private tours are available. The tour ends with a return to the hotel.
