  My teenage sister and I went to Vietnam for her Spring Break and we went on an XO tour our first night in Ho Chi Min City. The ladies met us at our hotel and even though it was our first time on scooters, they helped to get us comfortable with the ride right away. We had the best time on this tour and it was a great introduction to the city. Our tour guides were wonderful! They really helped us gain an insider perspective on the city. We loved visiting the market, our wonderful dinner, seeing the city at night and learning more about the city and the culture. I also appreciated the size of the tour. There were about 8 others tourists with us so the group was a good size and not too big. Going on this tour allowed us to experience the city in a way that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. I really can't recommend XO tours enough, they're a very special group and it was an incredible experience!

  I booked the Foodie tour for our first night in Vietnam and it was an incredible way to start the trip and get our bearings in Ho Chi Minh. The ladies were an absolute blast, the food was excellent, and they were able to accommodate a few of us vegetarians. We loved it so much we booked the Sights of Saigon for the next morning. While a very different vibe we were equally impressed with this tour. We got in a lot of sightseeing and Thy was such an excellent guide, providing a lot of history. We would not have been able to come even close to this experience trying to see the city on our own. My driver, Chi, was a real highlight of my whole trip to Vietnam and I’ll remember her and her infectious laugh for years to come. Absolutely recommend XO tours! Best way to experience HCM.

  We loved our XO Tours “Sights of Saigon” tour. Since my wife is pregnant, we chose the private car option, and it made the day so much easier by reducing walking and limiting time in the sun. Our guides, Hong and Duyen, were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. They went out of their way to keep my wife comfortable, including keeping us in the shade, using a fan and umbrella whenever we were outside, and providing plenty of water. The banh mi was delicious, the market tour was a highlight, and the hidden underground bunker was seriously cool. Overall the experience was fantastic. We highly recommend XO Tours, especially for anyone looking for a fun, comfortable, and memorable way to see Saigon!

  This was genuinely one of the funnest things we did in Vietnam and wholly worth the money. The ladies were so fun, safe drivers, toured us around all of Ho Chi Minh, took us to 5 different food and tour stops and played drinking games with us at the table. They were so sweet and it was a great experience, even in the pouring rain where they provided ponchos and goggles. We told them it was our birthday at the start of the night, and by the end of the night, they had organised a cake for us by the last stop. Above and beyond!!

  I had the best experience with XOtour! I did the tour by myself and there wasn’t a single moment that I felt out of place! I did a food tour earlier in my stay but it was nothing compared to XOtour! Everyone on the team made sure I felt welcomed and on top of the amount of high quality food we got was top tier!! My travel guide Tien truly made this experience unforgettable! From start to finish, she made everything fun, enjoyable, and stress-free. She went above and beyond by peeling my shrimp for me, cooking the meats, and always making sure I was comfortable and had enough food/drinks. We went to all local spots where we didn’t see other tourists other than our tour group, drove through ally ways, and the whole team was prepared for rain or shine! Not only Tien but all the wonderful women from XOtour made it so enjoyable with their jokes and interactions with us! Her kindness, attentiveness, and positive energy made all the difference. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable and well-cared-for experience. XOtour truly showed me the hidden gems of Vietnam! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  If you’re in Ho Chi Minh City and you don’t do a night scooter tour with XO Tours, you’re missing the city entirely. This wasn’t a tour, it was an immersion and one of the best things we did in Vietnam. Within minutes, you’re on the back of a scooter, slipping like a fish into the vast shoal of scooters and traffic that feels like chaos and choreography at the same time. And the riders? Absolutely fabulous. Smart, funny, stylish, completely in command of their bikes and their city. There’s something quietly radical about an all-female team doing this with such confidence and flair - not as a statement, just as a fact. We talked about everything from food to relationships to life in Vietnam, and it never felt like a script. Just real conversation, real connection, and a lot of laughter. You don’t feel like a customer. You feel like you’ve been temporarily adopted by a group of brilliant women. My guide (who patiently fastened my helmet every single time) carried me through the city like I belonged there. And then it opens up. A local market with no tourists. Chinatown alive with stories. Street food I wouldn’t have known how to find in a million years. Drinks that were gloriously, unapologetically too sweet. But the real moment, and the one I’ll never forget, was visiting Tiny Uncle's small apartment, once home to 14 people. Every inch of space negotiated, every surface used. And yet, we were welcomed with water, seats, and genuine warmth. No performance. Just life, shared. On the way in, our guide quietly helped an elderly man who’d run out of fuel. No fuss. No drama. Just kindness as a reflex. And that’s what XO Tours does differently. They don’t just show you a pretty version of HCMC, they show you a real one. Complex, generous, resilient, and alive. I laughed, I learned, I nearly cried, and yes, I sang Born to be Wild on the back of a scooter in Saigon traffic. Unforgettable. Do it!

  This XO Tours Saigon food tour was an absolute highlight of our trip—unique, memorable, and so much fun from start to finish. The food was outstanding, with a great mix of local dishes, including some we’d never tried before, which made it even more special. What really made the experience stand out was the people. The team were incredibly friendly and welcoming—it genuinely felt like we were out with friends rather than on a tour. My wife and I were lucky to have Jun Duyen1 and Tam as our scooter drivers, who safely guided us through the city while sharing stories, history, and insights that brought Saigon to life. By the end of the night, they felt more like close friends than guides. Yen, the team leader, ran the whole experience seamlessly—everything was incredibly well organised without ever feeling rigid. The little touches, like the fun games during meals and photos made it interactive and added an extra layer of enjoyment. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Saigon—great food, amazing people, and an unforgettable experience.
