Back Of The Bike Tour is Famous in Saigon

Well, the first thing I did when my family arrived in Saigon was search for a bike foodie tour. Back Of The Bike Tour was always the first name that came up.

That made me curious. Was it really that good? So I booked it for our second night in town.

The tour guides from Back Of The Bike Tour soon reached me for the tour. They picked us up right from the hotel. The guide spoke great English and was super easy to talk to. We rode through small alleyways, crossed busy roundabouts, and stopped at places I’d never have found on my own.

The kids loved the energy. My partner and I loved the food. And honestly? We all felt safe and taken care of the whole time.

You could tell they’d been doing this for years.

It turned out to be more than a bike food tour

What surprised me most wasn’t just the food — although every bite was worth it — but how much thought went into the whole experience.

This wasn’t your typical “stop, eat, move on” type of tour. Back Of The Bike Tour Saigon felt carefully designed to balance comfort, authenticity, and fun. Every location was clean, the seating was ready before we arrived, and the food came out fast — but still felt local. No long waits, no awkward moments.

But the real highlight? The stories.

Our guides didn’t just explain dishes — they told us where they came from, how locals enjoy them, and even little family traditions tied to the food. At one point, my youngest asked a question about fish sauce, and the guide ended up giving us a mini history lesson that was both funny and fascinating.

By the third stop, we weren’t just eating in Saigon. We were experiencing it — the chaos, the charm, the flavor. All thanks to Back Of The Bike Tour.

Should you book it? Definitely yes. And book it here (which only cost 39 USD/ person for private tour):
