What Are the Five KissTour Saigon Tours?
KissTour runs five motorbike tours in Ho Chi Minh City, all ridden by women drivers in áo dài, all bookable now and payable in cash after the tour. Here is the honest side-by-side:
| Tour | Length | Price /pax | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saigon Food Tour | 4 hours | $59 USD | First visit, eating 10+ dishes across 5 districts |
| Saigon City Tour | 3.5 hours | $45 USD | Sights and history more than food |
| Saigon By Night | 3.5 hours | $39 USD | Skyline, night markets, after-dark energy |
| Vegan Food Tour | 4 hours | $59 USD | Plant-based eaters (and curious meat-eaters) |
| Michelin Food Tour | 4.5 hours | $79 USD | Eating spots recognized by the Michelin Guide |
Private option is +$10 USD per person on the food tours, and our TripAdvisor page holds a 5.0 rating across 2,539 reviews — the night tour alone has 1,186 of them.
Which Saigon Tour Should First-Timers Pick?
For a first visit, the Food Tour is the default answer: it feeds you 10+ dishes, covers 5 districts, and doubles as a city orientation after dark. “Guests always ask me which Saigon tour to book first. I tell them: come hungry, do the food tour, then decide whether you want the city by day or by night,” says Vy, one of our áo dài riders. Pick the City Tour instead if you care more about the Post Office, Chinatown and history stops than about a full stomach.
What Is the Difference Between the Food Tour and the Michelin Tour?
The Food Tour is street food the way locals eat it; the Michelin Tour visits places recognized by the Michelin Guide for Ho Chi Minh City — think Bib Gourmand noodle shops rather than white tablecloths. The Michelin route runs 4.5 hours and costs $20 USD more. If it is your first time in Vietnam, start with the classic Food Tour; book the Michelin one when you already know your phở from your hủ tiếu. Curious what dishes made the list? See our guide to Michelin-recommended Vietnamese dishes.
Is the By Night Tour Worth It If You Already Did the Food Tour?
Yes, if you want atmosphere over eating — it is a different route with skyline views, local nightlife corners and lighter snacking, at $39 USD the lowest price of the five. Honest advice: if you are an early sleeper or you already rode the food tour at night and feel you have seen Saigon lit up, spend the evening on foot around Nguyen Hue instead. One-sided selling is not our style; not everyone needs two night rides.
Who Should Choose the Vegan Tour?
The Vegan Food Tour exists because Saigon has one of Asia’s best plant-based street food scenes, rooted in Buddhist “com chay” kitchens. Same 4 hours and $59 USD as the classic food tour, fully meat-free. Mixed group where only one person is vegan? Take the classic Food Tour and tell us in advance — drivers adapt dishes per rider.
Can Kids and Nervous Riders Join?
Yes, with rules that keep everyone safe: children under 7 ride sandwiched between the driver and a parent, kids 7 and up get their own bike with their own driver, and infants are the one group we honestly advise against bringing. Tours run rain or shine with ponchos provided; if a typhoon hits, we cancel and refund in full. You book now and can pay cash after the tour — no deposit risk. Traveling as a family?
