One hour cyclo tour around Saigon

A good fun way for a family to experience the city and the crazy Saigon roads without having to put kids on motorbikes! It's worth taking water and asking for the umbrella to be put up if needed as you're in the hot sun for long spells. The drivers were friendly and very Vietnamese in a good way.

Visite rapide et agréable de Saïgon, avec les cyclos , en famille . La durée est suffisante 1 heure, pour faire l'expérience du cyclo et voir rapidement quelques monuments de la ville.

we chose to do a one-hour family visit by cyclo (for 5 adults). The cyclomen were on time at 11:00 a.m. and showed us around the different sites and took photos. Then, they passed in front of Notre Dame de Saigon under construction and stopped at the Saigon post office (break stop) for us to visit. Beautiful building preserved from the colonial era and still in operation. The cyclomen were very kind and accommodating. Then they took us to visit a pagoda (off the circuit) and offered to have a drink to to the hot weather. We also paid for them a drink and I had drawn their attention that the fixed hour had passed. Our one-hour tour of the city, punctuated by sightseeing stops and a drink break, ended at 1:00 p.m. At our request to finish the tour, the cyclomen asked us for 1,000,000 dong each for pedaling! (A total of 5,000,000 dong for the 5 of them). We obviously refused, saying that it was in bad faith. It’s a shame because they were very friendly. We paid 250,000 dong each for the extra hour even though they cycled for barely 1 hour in total! ( 1,250,000 dong for the 5 of them). Advice, before starting the tour, remind them to respect 1 hour and WITHOUT visiting outside the circuit but only to take photos. Some people always take advantage of the sympathy of tourists, it’s really shame !
