What a fantastic way to explore Ho Chi Minh City by evening — on a bike ridden by a friendly local host. We visited bylanes and street food areas you’d never normally venture into as a tourist.

On the way, you’ll enjoy local Banh Mi (Vietnamese baguette), Banh Xeo (crispy pancake — a must have), the 24-hour flower market, and a food street. I have never seen so many varieties of seafood in one place. Of course, it’s all authentic Vietnamese cuisine.

And finally, a visit to a high-rise on the banks of the Saigon River. The view was amazing — eye-popping city lights where young and old, families, TikTokers, and Instagrammers all hang out to enjoy the scene.

This was one of the best 3.5 hours I’ve spent in Ho Chi Minh City. Riding through the city after sunset is a must-have experience. I recommend it 100%. My friends and I loved it!
