    20 minutes

  • Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral

    Then, we will stop at Cheo Leo cafe – an 80-year coffee shop hidden in an alley and famous for its distinct “Vot” coffee. There you sit around a table, take a rest, enjoy the drink, eat Vietnamese bread and chat leisurely with the guide as a friend like locals. You also learn how to make a cup of “Vot” coffee and interact with the nice owner of the coffee shop. After relaxing at coffee shop, we will head to tourist attractions in District 1 including Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral, Saigon Central Post Office where you admire the beauty of old French architectural works, learn more about history and culture, take the most beautiful photos in the city. A lovely book street next to the post office is worth wandering.

There we also enjoy Rice noodles with grilled pork/fried roll – a specialty food of the city. After that, move to the War Remnants Museum to take a closer look at the Vietnam War in the past.

Wonderful Saigon

Published on Jan, 2025

Our guide was Lani. She was absolutely wonderful. For those wanting an authentic experience of the city, this is the tour. What made it so enjoyable was visiting local hangouts and food. She took us to not only the War museum but also to a Vietnamese coffee shop and lunch at a side local shop. She will make you feel as if you have known her for years as a friend experiencing the city for the first time as well as being very knowledgeable about the city's history. We walked away for a fond love of Vietnam.

A perfect day in Vietnam

Published on Nov, 2024

We had a wonderful experience with Hang. First of all the communication was great - Hang even sent us a photo of where to meet and kept us notified of each step. We were so impressed by her English skills and sweet demeanor. Hang asked us what we would like to see and we told her “whatever she would want to show a friend who was visiting her the first time and had only one day.” She did not disappoint! We were immersed in the city’s culture for an entire day - wonderful sights, a walk through a local market, a lesson in making Vietnamese coffee and a special lunch. It was truly a memorable day made even more special by the little extras Hang provided along with her warm personality. Take a tour with her and you will be blessed!

Brilliant experience.

Driver arrived early, drove safely and accommodated all of our requests for different pick ups/drop offs. Would use again if we came back to Saigon.

Enjoyable, flexible and professional.

Published on Feb, 2024
