Ready to unlock a secret Saigon? Ditch the main roads and join Vespa Adventures for The Insider's Saigon, a journey that takes you straight into the city's vibrant, beating heart. We run this authentic adventure twice daily - catch the city's lively dawn or its enchanting dusk. Your The Insider's Saigon experience with Vespa Adventures can be perfectly paired with the mesmerizing À Ố Show at the historic Saigon Opera House, an exclusive journey through the city's vibrant streets and culinary soul on a vintage Vespa.
Elevate your evening with the breathtaking À Ố Show a stunning fusion of bamboo circus, acrobatics, and live music.
Please note: Your show experience can be scheduled flexibly. You may watch the performance on the same day as your tour or on a separate, independent date. We do not provide transportation to the venue. If you attend the show on your tour day, our team will meet you at the theater exit after the performance to begin the Vespa adventure, and the tour will commence from that point (skipping the initial welcome drink). If you see the show on a different day, you will enjoy the complete, standard Saigon After Dark tour itinerary. Your show ticket is valid for redemption up to one week after your tour date.
