Our concept is to show travelers a different side to Saigon, it's not always pretty but it is pretty amazing.Our aim is to provide a unique view that combines traveling on the back of a motorbike through the mayhem and chaos that are Saigon streets. « less

My husband is a very keen photographer and after nearly 20 days in Vietnam we had seen and photographed quite a lot. On our last day , we had booked a Moto Foto tour which I found via the Saigon Unseen website . An Aussie photographer , Mark Stennett works with the Saigon Unseen team to combine a unique motorbike... More

My husband and I had been pounding the pavement in HCMC in the relentless heat for a few days and were feeling a little defeated as a result. We wanted to see more of the city but are a little averse to group tours so decided to give this tour a go. Our drivers for the day were Ut and... More

Thanks for taking the time to write a review! Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the day out in Saigon. Whilst we have not yet had any comments regarding the drivers picking up at hotels, we will definitely take your comments on board and try find a solution. The local markets and cruising through the lanes / alleys are the... More

This is a great way to see the city if you are a lone traveller. Sorted it all through email with Adam, who was efficient and gave me lots of advice! Even double checked the day before to make sure I was still up for it! Sau came to pick me up in the morning at 8am and took me... More

HCMC was our first stop during our first visit to Vietnam. We arrived on a late evening flight and decided that the best way to start our holiday would be to throw ourselves into the chaos of the city the next morning by jumping on the back of a bike. What a great decision! Our guides, Sau and Ut, were... More

Just returned from a fantastic tour with Sau & Chau who made us feel completely comfortable on this our first time on the back of a motorbike. Like others have stated, you see places that other tourists will never see. We had only 2 days in Saigon at the end of 17 days in Vietnam, & this day was definitely... More

My husband and I are world travelers. We had just gotten off a river cruise with many excursions included. So when we looked for something in Saigon for our last day we wanted to make sure we saw it like the locals. Saigon Unseen was the answer. Starting with the contacts all the way from pre and post travel, Adam... More

Normally we are not the tour type but we are really glad that we did this tour. It is priced right and we got to see so much of the city and got to taste a lot of it too. You will not be disappointed.

A friend and I enjoyed being shown around Saigon by the friendly vietnamese drivers. With a flexible itinerary, nothing was a problem. I highly recommend if you want to get a true feel for Saigon and to experience the sights, sounds and smells of this amazing place, to jump on the back of a motorbike with these guys and enjoy...

My partner and I did the Saigon Unseen Tour on 01/01/12. It was fantastic! Definitely the highlight of our visit to Ho Chi Minh City! It also came as the perfect finish to our time in Ho Chi Minh, and put the fast changing city into perspective for us! There was only my partner and I on the tour and... More
