XO Tours was established in 2010, when our founders spotted a gap in Saigon’s tourism industry. There were a couple of existing motorbike tour companies at the time, but their tours focused on war history and tourist sites, not Vietnamese culture or street food, and their drivers typically had limited English. At the time, the industry was also dominated by men. We saw this as a huge opportunity - Vietnamese women arguably know the most about daily life and culture here, as they are involved in nearly every aspect! The market needed a tour provider that showcased Vietnamese culture and food, provided five-star service with fluent English, and empowered women. Since then, we have been featured in global publications like Forbes, USA Today, and the New York Times, and our tours still consistently rank top in Vietnam. We've created opportunities for thousands of women in tourism and even inspired other companies to hire female guides too, which has transformed the local tourism industry.

🛵🇻🇳🏙️ Three tours
We currently offer three tours, all in Saigon: the XO Foodie, the Sights of Saigon, and Saigon by Night. Please note that our tours are exclusive, and can ONLY be booked through our website www.xotours.vn - we do not work with third party sales sites.
🛵🇻🇳🏙️ Why XO? Most of Saigon’s back-of-the-bike tour companies have a business model grounded in “quantity over quality”. They offer cheap tours, but with unlicensed staff who often work illegally, provide cookie-cutter itineraries, and have no insurance (but will lie about it), and are not safe in our opinion. At XO, we prioritize quality above all else. We have honed our tours over 10 years of consistent research, to create super unique itineraries offering experiences you simply wouldn’t have if you didn’t explore with us. We also pay all of our team members the highest salaries in the industry and offer full insurance for our guests.
🛵🇻🇳🏙️ The XO Girls
XO would not exist without its all-female team of expert guides! The XO Girls are all passionate local women with deep, accurate knowledge of their city. We love creating authentic, friendly tours for our guests that feel more like sharing time with locals than joining an organized group, and will leave you with lasting memories. We would love to show you around our beautiful city, and give you a taste of the first-class adventures we provide. Contact us or visit our website to book.
