Early Morning Saigon Bike Ride and Market Discovery

  • Drive to the area that will soon become the residential area and administrative office of Ho Chi Minh City.
  • Sightsee the sunrise and another side of the city from the riverside, and get immersed in the cool breeze.
  • After that, continue driving to one of the busiest markets in Saigon, located in District 4, the city's unique island.
  • Pass by many alleys where you can see street vendors starting a new day, along with plenty of fresh tropical fruits, vegetables, and locals worshipping.
  • Visit the unique floating market of Saigon in District 7, where you can experience local life, enjoy fresh coconut, and interact with locals. This floating market is where plenty of boats from the Mekong Delta dock and vendors sell their products, and the boats are their homes filled with tropical fruits and vegetables.
