- In this travel vlog, my dad and I take a motorbike tour around all of Saigon, Vietnam. The tour is called an “Unseen Saigon” tour, because we visit a lot of the lesser visited locations around the city that most tourists don’t visit. This was a great way for my dad, who is visiting from America, to see a unique side of Saigon that is usually only seen by people who live here.
The tour was hosted by two university students who rode us around on the back of their motorbikes and gave us information about all of the locations we visited. The two tour guides were named Thanh (nickname: Jennifer) and Dung (nickname: Yu). Both of the tour guides were really friendly and knowledgeable, and they were able to speak English well too.
You can find their tour at this website:

The price of the tour was $20 per person.
The tour was about 4 hours total. Overall we had a great time and I would recommend this tour to anyone who is traveling to Ho Chi Minh City and wants to see some interesting things that are off the beaten tourist path.
Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed this travel vlog.

Great to see you and your dad lighting incense and "praying". Some Christians may believe as Christians, we cannot do that. However, you are not "praying" but paying respect and that's a big difference. God bless you and your dad.
Vietnam, what a great country.🥰🥰🥰🥰
Have a nice time visit Vietnam
Very good episode I love how you support those socks with flip-flops it’s awesome
haha yup!
Looks like a fun tour. The two guides seem very friendly.
yeah they were
of course , you pay money so they make friendly with you
You look to have had a great little tour with very attentive guides.
Your guide was heartbreaking pretty, Tyler🥰
Com tam is everywhere but if you find a good one, you can eat it everyday lol
for sure! there's a great one near my house on co giang street
Tuyệt vời quá cháu trai
Kudo to Bill for showing respect to the culture and tradition. Bill is a quintessential of respect and open minded! Bill needs his own channel.
I agree. Bill will definitely help bringing in more followers . Especially single women ( and men ). No disrespect to Bill, of course,.
Interesting tour, awesome video. Keep it coming.
Thanks, will do!
There is an oldest church in Saigon.
Hoa Ly is from the French word Fleur de Lys and Ly in Vietnamese means separation ( chia ly ) , farewell ( biet ly ) , break-up , divorce ( ly di ) . It's too bad that I am not currently in SGN but in Song Pha , a small town located between Dalat and Phan Rang . Otherwise It would be a pleasure for me to give you a FREE sightseeing and food tour around Saigon and the neighbourhood , because both of you are so friendly and respectful .
awesome very interesting insight
*_Hello Big Time Bentley_* !
hello!
Awesome tour! So you’ve been here 6 years. That’s pretty good. Do you mind me asking. What do you do for a living?
I make these videos
@@BigTimeBentley keep them up. Doing an awesome job! I like your natural way about it. Not the right words. You’re not fancy. And I mean that in a good way. No fancy music. Just you and the camera. Plain and simple. I don’t think I’m cut out for videoing with my voice and taking interviews like you. But I do like riding. And showing videos doing that. Just been posting on Facebook. I ate at that street food place today. The crab cakes, crab meat with the thick noodles. It was very good.
You're sweating and they're wearing jackets. It can't be that cold, it's Vietnam.
the sun very strong in vietnam , asian ppl prefer white skin , so they re keep away the UV
Your big unit dad is around my age. BTW, Bently, I guess you’re around 1.95m tall. Your ideal weight should be around 95kg. You’ve got a bit of kegs to go.
I'm 188, but yeah could lose some lbs
@@BigTimeBentley 90kg is the ideal weight for you then
@@BigTimeBentley , haha, talk about being tactful.
Yes ! it's Cho Ban Co ( the Chess Board Market ) . I don't think those buildings were built for the Americans . They had more modern ones located in safer areas like Dong Khoi ( ex Tu Do) , Hai Ba Trung, Le Thanh Ton , Le Loi , Nguyen Hue , Le Duân ( ex Thong Nhât ) , Vo van Tân ( ex Trân Quy Cap ) , Trân Cao Vân , Ly Tu Trong ( ex Gia Long ) , Nam Ky Khoi Nghia ( ex Cong Ly ) , Trân Hung Dao , Nguyen Thi Minh Khai (ex Hong Thâp Tu ) , Dinh Tien Hoang , Nguyen Dinh Chieu , Le Quy Don , Truong Minh Ky , Nguyen Van Troi ( ex Cach Mang , the street leading to Tân Son Nhât airport) . Back at that time my two American neighbors on Tu Do street (corner Le Thanh Ton) were young diplomats working for the American Embassy on Thong Nhât ( currently Le Duân ) boulevard . We were friends until they left VN in 1969 . One of them looked a lot like your father . Most of the American militaries lived in military bases in Long Binh , Bien Hoa , Tân Son Nhât ...
ah very awesome! thanks for the insightful comment...do you know if the location of the current American consulate on Le Duan is also the location of the former US embassy before 1975?
comment
cheers bro
Hey Bentley, I'm coming down next week I would love to meet you and your girlfriend. Let me know if you have time
LOL! I laughed so hard. An innocent typo that doesn't sound so innocent. Good one!
@@eddietran6260 Call jesus I guess that doesn't sound very good l o l
That's supposed to mean oh jesus
And
I made a community post about doing a meet up event at the end of the month of early next month...how long are you in Saigon for?

Christian is not to offer incense, bow, or pray to any idol.
Religion should have no boundaries. It's all within the heart.
Hey Stephen ! you must be a very narrow-minded Vietnamese Christian guy . I have nothing against Christianity but for me you seem to be even more Catholic than the Pope or more Protestant than Martin Luther or Jean Calvin . Bentley and Bill just showed their respect to the Venerable Thich Quang Duc who back at that time had sacrificed his life to protest against the oppression of the Vietnamese Buddhist followers by the dictator Ngo Dinh Diem who a year later had to pay for his crime . Religion should have no boundaries . It's all within the heart as Hoodhunter said in his comment . Fanaticism always leads to foolish bloody wars and killings . I am an atheist but I have respect for all religions .
Hungcuongquoc. THICH QUANG DUC was death prior the Comunist burned him down. Communist propaganda. It's really true.
@@hungcuongnguyen293 my statement is a reference to Christian Bible. For you not to consider it with respect is the opposite of open mindedness. Your assertion about Luther and Calvin is incorrect, I suggest you to read their writings. Conflicts and wars caused by atheistic ideology were far more bloody than religious ones, I suggest you to read more history.
@@hungcuongnguyen293, Stephen is right. As a Christian, you are supposed to bow only to God, to bow to other statues or images is abhorrent. You don't have to bow to show respect. As a Christian, one should respect people, but not bow to their idols.
