Good morning Saigon

Start your tour at 05:30 to catch the first rays of the sun and a chance to see Saigon waking up. The traffic is light at this hour and a cyclo ride will allow you to be fully immersed in the atmosphere of the city.

The first stop is ‘Tao Dan Park’ where locals practice their morning exercises – Tai Chi, aerobics and badminton. Stroll around the park to a small pagoda where you are likely to see locals performing daily prayers.
Continue to a local wet market where shoppers haggle over the fresh produce on offer. Wander through the stalls where vendors are selling everything from live seafood to dried meats, fresh seasonal vegetables and homeware goods.

Take a break for breakfast with a bow of special noodle soup – Pho, Vietnam’s national dish.
Finish up the morning with a café sua da in one of the city’s busiest coffee houses. A legacy of the French, coffee houses are a poplar meeting spot for local students, the business set, artists and the trendsetters of the city - a great place to watch the local life going on in the morning! The trip finish at around 10.00AM at your hotel.

 

Note: You can also expand the tour with a cyclo tour of Saigon for visits to War Remnant museum, Reunification Palace, Notre Dame Cathedral and Saigon center area. Please, contact our travel consultants for more information.
