A great way to pack a lot of sights into a short time while in HCMC is to join a guided Vespa tour. Visitors travel pillion or on their own vintage Vespa while their English speaking guide leads them through the swirling HCMC traffic to visit some quirky, off-beat and quintessentially Vietnamese attractions, such as the ‘Bird Lovers’ Club’ in Tao Dan Park, the flower market on Nghi Tam Avenue, a funeral home (to experience a traditional funeral service), traditional textile bazaar and Chinese medicine quarter. Other tours focus on street food, music and nightlife.
