    Ho Chi Minh City

    Cycle along the canal and cross Saigon River by the Ba Son Bridge where you’ll witness the contrast between the old and the new city. Continue over Thủ Thiêm Bridge before stopping at a local cafe for a refreshing break and time chat with your guide, enjoy a cup of coffee/ tea and experience Saigon’s lively coffee culture. Continue to Thich Quang Duc Monument to learn about its historical significance then enjoy a local snack - chuối nếp nướng. The tour’s historical core takes you to a Secret Bunker hidden beneath a coffee shop, once used during the Vietnam War to shelter fighters and store supplies. For the final leg, truly explore the "different angles" of Saigon. Your guide will lead you off the beaten path into hidden alleyways and along quiet canal roads where daily life unfolds away from the tourist crowds. This is where you’ll discover the real Saigon: families cooking by their doorsteps, kids playing in narrow lanes, the gentle rhythm of locals going about their day.
