Review Body: I had the best soaking (pun intended 😂) experience with Curly during Explore Saigon’s Hidden Mekong Island by Bike! Curly felt like a little sister, taking me around and showing me the scenic, less-touristy side of Ho Chi Minh City. The experience had such a lovely local touch, especially when we stopped by her auntie’s house and I was welcomed with a refreshing coconut drink 🥥❤️ We had such a lovely conversation with her auntie despite the language barrier, and somehow, we still managed to connect and have a great time together. It poured heavily that day (I definitely brought the rain with me from Da Lat 😂), but honestly, I didn’t mind at all. Getting soaked, cycling around, chatting and bonding with Curly made the whole experience even more memorable. If you want to escape the usual touristy landmarks and experience a more authentic, local side of Vietnam, book this tour! Highly recommended 🇻🇳🚲✨

Review Body: We did the Saigon’s Last Mekong cycling tour and would recommend it to anyone - one of the best tours we have done! Our guide Curly was so fun and energetic, we had so many laughs & she explained everything really well. Thanh’s support was also great! The tour showed a side of HCMC that we would never have found on our own, it was such a nice break from the city chaos, cycling through the coconut forest and little streets. The balance of cycling to stops was perfect - and there were plenty of drink stops to stay hydrated even cycling on a hot day. For us, the stops to the temple and to Curly’s auntie’s house for fresh coconuts were the highlights, but the whole experience was just great - cannot recommend it enough!!

Review Body: Our Guide for our half day cycle trip though the Mini Mekong was Duc. He was excellent guide. His passion for nature and culture was very evident. He was very knowledgeable and we left with a better understanding of the local history and culture. The many stops along the way were a blessing as I had not been on a bike in 2 years.😉 Drinking tea in a local house, visiting the temple, the local market and the 1970's apartments was something we would not have discovered only for Jackfruit Travel. It was a brilliant 4 hours. Thank you Duc for a brilliant experience 👏

Review Body: Really nice easy pace cycle ride! Great to see the little oasis of call right in the middle of the city. So surprised to be the only person doing the tour, was super relaxing morning! Great stop at the market for breakfast and a coffee! Deffo would recommend if you want a break from the hub of the city. Beware there are two journeys on the road with a lot of bikes and cars, only short and guide is leading you however if you feel uncomfortable with this it’s worth considering. Well maintained bike and helmet provided.

Review Body: We had a great time with our guide Quang. He was very knowledgeable about the area and has a friendly demeanor. He knew a lot about the local plants and trees which we were interested in. The bike ride itself is a nice mix of scenic wetlands and marketplaces. It’s definitely in a less touristic area and the local people are very kind and welcoming. Quang took photos for us and told us about local history so it was a really nice little tour. Highly recommend for anyone visiting HCMC!

Review Body: This trip is so fantastic. The route that Quang and John took us on weaved its way though side alleys, typical Vietnamese streets and between catfish ponds. We stopped several times for fruit and refreshments, and met several locals. We received some waves and "hellos" from locals as we rode past and didn't see another tourist while we were there. The whole thing felt very authentic and i would highly recommend for the tour for anyone travelling to Ho Chi Min City

Review Body: Ended up just being 2 of us so it was so nice to have our own private tour! Our tour guide Gy was so friendly, and we made many pit stops where she shared more about the local culture and history. We had so much fun riding off the beaten path - got to enjoy coffee, local fruits from the market and fresh coconuts as part of the tour. Gy also made sure we were safe on the roads, providing clear instructions too :)

Review Body: A truly authentic taste of Vietnam in the centre of Ho Chi Minh City. Quong our guide was funny , attentive and very knowledgeable as he lead us through a local market and into the lives of ordinary Vietnamese people and we felt fully immersed. Didn’t see any other tourists on the whole tour which made it all the more special.

Review Body: We really enjoyed our experience with Quan and Thanh. They were excellent guides, very friendly and accommodating, and we had a really fun adventure throughout the day. It was not a difficult ride at all. Our favorite parts were the old apartment and just being able to walk around and learn about the local landscape more.

Review Body: This was a really wonderful way to spend a morning in the city but finding a quiet and green part of it. My guide Curly did an excellent job was very friendly and knowledgable about the area. It’s an easy cycle and the breeze created as we moved along was very welcome because of the heat. Highly recommended.

Review Body: It's a great trip to get out of the city centre and learn about local life, enjoy tasting local food too. Our guides Curly and Ngah were amazing, so friendly and everything was informative about the land and lifestyle. I would definitely recommend this half day trip to anyone who likes outdoor adventure.

Review Body: Our guide Ngan was very friendly, knowledgeable and clear with instructions for riding on the busy road. We travelled on small lanes aswell to see the sights, the oldest city apartment block, a village community, market and we tried some different food. A great way to see the city by bike. Thank you
