The rain in Saigon normally won’t last for long. In light rain, we provide ponchos to our customers and cycle on.
Joining one of our bicycle tours in Saigon Ho Chi Minh City is a wonderful refreshing adventure all year round. The activity of cycling (as opposed to walking), will always create a breeze to help cool you down. We are also aided by the fact that Saigon terrain is very flat and we cycle at a leisurely pace. In addition, plenty of cold drinks and rest stops along the way will keep you refreshed for the adventure
