Although we are very proud of the acclaim<\/a> our\u00a0XO Tours have received\u00a0over the years, we realize that they are not suitable for everyone. These are the 3\u00a0main\u00a0reasons we think some\u00a0guests\u00a0should not book our tours:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you\u00a0are looking for a typical food tour\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    All\u00a0the dishes and stops on the “XO Foodie” tour are carefully curated to offer you the most unique experience possible. Unlike other food tours in Vietnam, we are not looking to serve you the most popular dishes in Vietnam, even if that means taking the risk that you won’t like every single dish. On the “XO Foodie Tour” want you to eat the exact same dishes that our staff love to eat when they are not working, so those are the types of dishes we offer on the tours. Our goal is to also show you the huge contrast between the different districts so we can give you a feel for what life is truly like for the Saigonese people.<\/p>\n

    If you\u2019re just looking for a food tour that jumps from one\u00a0food stop to the next however,\u00a0and\u00a0you don\u2019t care to venture outside the touristy\u00a0districts in Saigon\u00a0to see a side of the city that none of the other tours go to, then XO Tours is probably not the tour for you.<\/p>\n

    2. If you are not interested in Vietnamese history<\/strong><\/p>\n

    On our \u201cSights of Saigon\u201d tour<\/a>, not only will we\u00a0provide some interesting historical background for each location\u00a0we take you to, we will also share\u00a0unique local insights\u00a0that you won\u2019t find in most guidebooks. Rather than just throwing facts at you, we try to connect each place\u00a0to a human event, so that you will remember each location for the impact\u00a0it had on the Vietnamese people. If you find history boring however, then you probably shouldn\u2019t book this tour.<\/p>\n

    3. If you want the cheapest motorbike tour –<\/strong><\/p>\n

    At XO Tours we want to provide you with a boutique experience that you cannot find anywhere else, combined with the best customer service in Vietnam. We hire the best possible staff and train them to be great ambassadors for\u00a0Vietnam. We believe the time, effort and attention to detail we put into creating our tours\u00a0is reflected in the high quality of the\u00a0tours.<\/p>\n

    The majority of other motorbike tours operate illegally, serve the cheapest possible food, and hire poorly trained student guides which allows them to run their tours with practically no overhead costs.<\/p>\n

    We accept this fact however because we believe that majority of our guests are willing to pay a little more for\u00a0a superior experience. For guests that just want to drive around on a motorbike for the lowest possible price, there are many other options in Saigon to chose from.<\/p>\n

    If you are like the travel writer, Graham Caldwell or the majority of the 100,000 + guests that have gone on our tours however, we think you will love your time with us!<\/p>\n
