We took the night bus tour (starts in late evening) at the Nguyen Hue Street (Walking Street) opposite of Opera house. The queue was small and we got to sit at the open top. The weather was also good. We had a wonderful evening enjoying the views. The night bus tour is not hop on/off and it also doesn't have commentary.

The City Sightseeing double-deck bus tour was a fantastic way to explore the city! Sitting on the open-top deck gave us amazing views of the main attractions and made it easy to take photos along the way.

I did the night tour red bus as it was too hot during the day. I went at 10pm on a sunday. There was cool breeze, the city which is always busy was kind of quiet and the buildings lights were beautiful. A nice way to end the day.

When is the best time to visit City Sightseeing Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam)?

Expect afternoon rain from May to October; the bus provides raincoats but carry a light poncho. From March to May, start before 10 AM to avoid peak heat.
