Pride Drives Vietnam - Saigon Gay Tours
26/12 Nguyen Binh Khiem, District 1, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, 700000
Owners Description: Pride Drives is a Tour Company, based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam that was founded to serve the LGBTIQ+ community. They offer Street Food and City Tours on motorbikes and tuk-tuks within the city. Their tours take place throughout the day. They run morning, afternoon and night tours, in rain or shine. They are the first and leading gay-tour agency in Vietnam.
Why should you choose Pride Drives Vietnam?
They offer the most AUTHENTIC local Vietnamese dishes. Tourist dishes like Pho, Banh Xeo, Bun Cha… aren’t on their menu. Their tour introduces you to dishes that you may not have heard about, but are very popular among the locals. Their food quality is top tier. Unlike many other cheap tours advertised, they serve the highest quality street food that you will never eat on other tours.
The adventures they give are UNIQUE. Unlike the regular bus and car tours, tours offered by Pride Drives Vietnam take place on Motorbikes-the most popular vehicle used in Vietnam and Tuk-tuks-a retro vehicle, widely used before 1975. On these vehicles, you can merge yourself to the traffic, smells, tastes and sounds of the city; to the life, society and culture of the local people. The food places are also carefully picked and genuinely local. You won’t see other travelers because on our tours, you are the only “not-local”. The team takes you guys to hidden places that no travelers can find by themselves. And they avoid places that other tour companies use too.
Their service is professional. The team is staffed by licensed drivers and guides, who are young, smart, informative, knowledgeable, careful, enthusiastic, intelligent, talented, energetic, clever, helpful and charismatic individuals who pass on epic and timeless local knowledge through stories and jokes to eager and curious tour-goers. They are 100% fluent in English and will escort you throughout the whole tour experience.
Tuk-tuks can be an alternative for big groups or if the guests are too scared to sit on the motorbikes. In their safe and modern Tuktuks, you get to experience the sights, sounds and smell of Saigon without any risk to you or your family. Their tuktuks are small semi- enclosed "Troop Carriers" that provide protection from both traffic and weather. They can run our tours in rain or shine, so this is the best vehicle for Saigon's rainy season."

City Tour and Food Tour
This is an amazing tour (100%. You won't regret and worth your money). Their unique concept with tour on bike make you feel special because 1) You experience Saigon closer. 2) Since it is just you and driver (tour guide), this make your whole tour very personalise and tour that is cater JUST FOR YOU. 3) You get to know the local more.
I went this tour TWICE. One in august 2023 and the recent in March 2024. I had so much fun on both time.
In august 2023, my tour guide was Pumba (for City Tour) and Son (Food Tour). In March 2024 my tour guide was Paul (City Tour), the first part we were join by Pumba. I was really happy to see him again and he do recognised me and know my special dietary. For my Food Tour i had Son as my tour guide. Again i was really happy to see him.
All 3 drivers (Pumba, Son and Paul) they were AMAZING tour guide. They were friendly, knowledgeable, kind, very passionate. They made you feel safe, and ensure that you are well feed during the tour. The best thing is that their service was out of this world. They really take care of you. Over all they are great human being to be around with.
ThanQ so much Pumba, Son and Paul and thanQ Pride Drivers for the amazing idea/concept

Amazing trip!
Book the whole day tour (private) last minute however I dint realise it was a public holiday. The pride drivers team (Quynh) reach out to me and advised the following, they advised to take the morning tour plus the evening ones(group). As Quynh was very accommodating I decided to give it a go.
The morning tour was conducted by Pumbaa(yes that’s his name), he pick me up from the hotel (as I was staying in district 1). As this was a private tour, only me and pumbaa were on this tour.
The Tour started with him bringing me around the different district, showing me where the landmarks and best place to hang out, etc. Pumbaa brought me to the best breakfast in HCM! It was crowded but we managed to get a seat quickly. After breakfast, he brought me to different side of HCM, which was an eye opening. Before we headed to the SPA ( as the traffic was smooth and we have to spare time). We chatted about life, love and all that comes in between. It was a great chat while sipping a good cup of coffee.
The SPA (Nam Spa) was good, the therapist are trained and it does give u a great relaxation when your there.
The night tour(group) was fun, managed to meet new people and different pride riders too. Everyone was very friendly and very knowledgeable too. We had tried different kind of food, yes a lot of food, make sure u come empty stomach on the night tour. While my drivers for the night is different, tuananh was knowledgeable too, he gave some insight of the places and even encourage me to eat Vietnam delicacies.
Overall, I had fun during this tour and I’m glad that I choose the private tour in the morning and night group tour. The service provided by the pride drivers were amazing and there isn’t any shortfall.
I would recommend Pumbaa as your tour guide, he is very knowledgeable and easy to get along with. His wealth of knowledge and time management was impeccable!
Keep up the good work pride drivers! Wish you all the success and open up more in other state!
A big thank you for making my day in HCM a great place to stay, eat and enjoy!
Thank You!

Pride Drives Vietnam - Saigon Gay Tours
We had an awesome time on our full day tour of Saigon. It was such an adventure jumping on the back of a scooter to take on the Saigon traffic and head into parts of the city we would never have gone to. Our guides were incredible! Success and My were particularly excellent - both of them ultra friendly and really concerned for our safety and enjoyment of the trip. At the end of our tour, Success produced a karaoke machine and we sat at our street cafe surrounded by locals singing Disney and Gaga. The food and the sightseeing were great but the friendly guides and the scooter adventure were unforgettable. The best part was spending the day with local LGBTQ+ guides and feeling a sense of acceptance and understanding from members of our own community.

Best Gay Tour & Service in Vietnam!
I and my partner traveled from North to South in Vietnam for 3 weeks. We visited major cities like Hanoi, Hoian, Dalatt and Saigon. As a gay couple to a traditional Asian country, we expected to be treated differently. But, to our surprise, the country was very friendly to us. We went to gay bars/ pubs and did some massages in every city we visited. The service was quite good but none could compare to this tour company in Saigon.
Firstly, the tour was tailored for LGBT community, which made us feel so special and welcome doing it. Secondly, the guides were super friendly and knowledgeable. They spoke perfect English and taught us so much about Saigon. Food was delicious, not like anything we tried on other tours. Some was a bit challenging, however haha. I had a feeling every detail of this tour was planned carefully. It was the top-world service I would say. Highly recommend!
This tour was a must-do in Ho Chi Minh City. It doesn't matter if you are of the LGBT community. You will love it!
