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. The ride was comfortable, and the hop-on hop-off option made sightseeing very flexible. It’s a fun and convenient experience, especially for first-time visitors who want to see a lot without rush...

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)?

Ride early in the dry season (Nov–Apr) for clear views. In the rainy season, use the provided raincoat and sit on the lower deck to stay drier.
