Tour description
Most night tours in Saigon end at ten o’clock. This tour starts at eleven o’clock. After midnight, another city begins to stir: trucks and boats unload vegetables, fish and fruit from the Mekong Delta; porters rush between the stalls; flower shops prepare thousands of wedding bouquets; and late-night noodle shops serve them all.
With experienced local drivers and guides familiar with the night shift, you will ride pillion to the large wholesale markets on the outskirts of the city, where food for nine million people is transferred from midnight until dawn; to Ho Thi Ky Flower Market, busiest in the late-night hours; and to a noodle shop that opens only at night. We finish with a ride through the quiet city center, when you can finally admire the colonial buildings without traffic blocking the view.

Other notes
Safety: you ride as a passenger behind the driver—guests never drive themselves. All drivers are experienced locals with Vietnamese driving licences and do not drink alcohol throughout the tour (Vietnam applies a zero-tolerance policy to drinking and driving). Each motorbike carries one guest as required by law; parents may ride with children under 12.
A certified helmet (properly fastened) and rain poncho are provided. Personal accident insurance is included.
The minimum age to ride independently behind a driver is 6. Please wear closed-toe shoes and let us know if you have back or neck problems or are pregnant.
Wholesale markets are working environments: stay close to the guide, watch for porters and forklifts, and ask before photographing people.
Markets are often wet and slippery—closed-toe shoes are required.
Tours do not operate on Sunday evenings, when the markets are quiet.
