What To Expect

Tao Dan Park

Our day begins among the Saigonese at 8:00am, along the shaded sections of Tao Dan Park where songbird hobbyists gather to show off their feathered friends. We will sit with a ca phe sua da (Vietnamese iced coffee) on little red stools, learning how traditional Vietnamese drip coffee is made, while the songbirds practice their morning chorus. Photo opportunities abound here and at a local market, far away from the hectic tourist areas. Here you’ll walk in among the women making deals along the corridors of weird and wonderful food. Your expert guide will teach and translate, narrating the scenes with insightful tales as the country’s culture unfolds around you.

3 hours • Admission Ticket Included

War Remnants Museum

Our trail will take us to the street-stalls and food-joints the city has become famous for. Hear about how four generations of women have sold the same family recipe in the same spot for 30 years as you eat the delicious results of their dedication. Fill your stomach with the kind of food most outside Vietnam never get to try – we won’t take you to eat the typical tourist offerings like Pho and Banh Mi sandwiches, just locally-loved meals you won’t find at home. History’s on the menu too with visits to the War Remnants Museum and the Reunification Palace, as well as to some lesser-known historical sites, such as the location where the last US helicopter left Saigon, and the memorial of the “Burning Monk”.

3 hours • Admission Ticket Included

Ba Thien Hau Temple

Before our tour comes to an end at around 4:00pm, we will breathe in the incense at Chinatown’s Thien Hau Pagoda to experience the more spiritual side of Vietnamese life.
