Pride Drives Vietnam - Saigon Gay Tours

Wow! What a tour! We took the Spa & Bar tour and found Punba to be the ultimate guide in our tour around HCMC. The venues were all of a high standard, the massages were of a high quality and Punba was a knowledgeable guide who taught us so much about general & LGBT+ life in HCMC. We were a tad daunted by going on this tour. Punba who made us feel super comfortable at all times during the tour. The venues were perfect and the massages were of a high quality. The tour lived up to its advertised promises and was better than advertised. We would highly recommend!

I honestly wasn’t expecting the kind of experience I had with Pride Drives in Ho Chi Minh City—it completely exceeded anything I imagined. I’ve been on so many tours over the years (bus tours, tuk tuks, big groups, “see all the major landmarks” types of tours), and this one easily lands in my top three of all time. Jeremy and Pumba were my guides, but by the end of the day they felt more like friends. From the start, they really paid attention to what I liked and catered the day around that. They’re both fun, easy to connect with, and genuinely care about making sure you have a great experience. I’ll admit, I was hesitant about the motorbike part. If you’ve ever been to HCMC, you know there are millions of motorbikes everywhere. The thought of hopping on the back of one was intimidating at first, but Jeremy’s confidence and skill as a driver put me at ease right away. Within minutes, I went from nervous to completely loving it. There’s something freeing about riding around the city this way—you see everything differently and really feel part of the energy. One of the things I appreciated most is that Pride Drives doesn’t just shuffle you to the big tourist sites. Instead, they take you to neighborhoods, shops, and food stalls you’d never stumble upon on your own. In the morning we stopped for a local-style sandwich breakfast that was full of flavor, followed by a jelly stand where locals stopped to say hello. Later, we relaxed in a café in one of the city’s more upscale neighborhoods and had some great conversations. The evening tour was my highlight. We explored six different street food spots—none of the typical banh mi or pho that every visitor already knows, but authentic dishes locals truly love. Every stop was delicious, and along the way Jeremy and Pumba shared stories from their childhoods, explained the food, and swapped stories about life. It felt less like a tour and more like hanging out with new friends who were showing me their city. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, it also means a lot to me to support businesses I identify with. Pride Drives created a welcoming and safe space, and I felt completely comfortable. That said, you don’t need to be LGBTQ+ to enjoy this—these tours are for everyone, and they told me their guests come from all over the world. By the end of the day, I felt like I had made two new friends in Vietnam. I don’t usually write long reviews or recommend tour companies, but this is different. Pride Drives is the real deal—personal, unique, and absolutely worth your time. If you’re visiting Ho Chi Minh City, this is the one tour I would tell you not to miss.

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

Despite the rain, we had a wonderful and delicious evening of tasting the best street food in HCMC in the company of guides Son and Thanh! I highly recommend this company!

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!

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.

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!
