Saigon by Night

The XO Foodie Tour, as you can tell by the name, is a food tour. On this tour you will get to try 10 to 12 unique dishes that most other tours in Vietnam do not offer. We also include a couple of unique sightseeing stops on the tour.

And although you do get dinner and dessert on the Saigon by Night tour, it is NOT A FOOD TOUR. This tour focuses on Vietnamese culture. The highlight of the Saigon by Night tour is an opportunity to visit a local home, which will give you a better understanding of how the locals live, work and eat.

The itineraries for both the XO Foodie and Saigon by Night tours are unique and do not overlap.

There really are no similar tours in Vietnam. That is why XO Tours is the ONLY tour operator that has been voted:

• One of the top 9 food tours in the world by Forbes
• One of the top 10 city tours in the world by USA Today
• The best food tour in Vietnam by Food & Wine
• One of the best things to do in Ho Chi Minh City by the NY Times

Our culture tour (Saigon by Night) and food tour (The XO Foodie) have completely unique itineraries and do not visit the same places the copycat tours go to. Many other motorbike tour companies will copy our tour names like “Saigon by Night” to make it sound like it is the same tour, but there is no comparison. Many guests that have joined other scooter tours say that the quality of the stops, food and professionalism at XO Tours is like night and day in comparison.

At XO Tours we do not compete on price and do not discount our tours. Our prices are fixed because our expenses are much higher than most other tour operators. Our goal is to offer the best, safest and most unique experience on motorbikes that you can get in Vietnam, and in order to achieve such a high standard we have to hire and train the best guides, offer a curated menu that you will not find anywhere else, and be able to provide unique insights about Vietnam’s culture and history that you will not find on other tours.

Do not be fooled by the copycats. They operate illegally, hire poorly trained students that they take advantage of, and are dishonest about having accident insurance. It is impossible to provide the level of quality that XO Tours provides for a cheap price without cutting corners.

Yes, we offer a car/bus option if you book a private tour (minimum of 2 adults). There is a $60 USD surcharge to book a car for 2 to 4 people and an additional $5 USD per person for groups over 4 people ($60 for 4 pax, $65 for 5 pax, $70 for 6 pax, etc.). The surcharge is to cover the cost of the car/bus rental (with driver). Please keep in mind that the car/bus option is only available for private tours, and we cannot mix different transport methods (car + motorbikes), so everyone in the same group will have to use the same transport option. We also require at least 24 hours notice if you wish to join one of our tours by car/bus.

We do not offer a car/bus option for the group tours, since travelling by car/bus is much slower than by motorbike, and out of consideration for our other guests we cannot delay the tour for any single party.

We only offer pickup service in Districts 1, 3, 4 and 5 (some exclusions apply). For guests staying outside of our pickup area, we kindly request that you meet us at the Saigon Opera House in District 1 for the start of your tour(s).

We also do not currently offer airport pickup or drop-off service.
