36/50.-Saigon, Cyclos

As I told you before, the best way to move around the city of Ho Chi Minh is by taxi. Another way to visit the town is by Cyclo. This option is recommended for shorter distances. You can also rent one of this cyclos and ask him to take you on a city tour. Note that cyclo drivers come from the countryside. Do not expect them to speak perfect English. Some of them will be able to tell you some things about the visited places, but some others will only take you around.

When hiring one of this guys, take some time to bargain the price. No matter what you pay, you will always pay more than locals. It is the price you have to pay for being a foreigner. Do not worry, cyclo prices are really low.
