Cyclo is a tricycle taxi similar to rickshaws. It is a fun and, sometimes, adventurous way to tour the cities. They are available in many tourist cities such as Hanoi, Hoi An, Hue, Danang, Hai Phong and Ho Chi Minh.

However, some big city like Ho Chi Minh has a strict rule on which routes the cyclos can go because they can cause traffic congestion. Besides, each town has its own price structure. For instance, in Saigon, rates start from around 1 USD for a short trip (about 10 minutes) while the fares can be a bit more expensive in Hanoi. Thus, before you get on a cyclo, make sure you and the cyclo driver agree on the same price. Hold on to your belongings when travelling in a cyclo as passing motorists and the like have been known to grab these as they pass.
