Itinerary

Pick-up: 15:00PM / 19:00PM | Drop-off: ~19:00PM / ~23:00PM

The tour begins with a taste of authentic local dishes at one of Saigon’s beloved eateries (Bun Rieu/Com Tam), followed by a short 5–minute walk to the iconic Ben Thanh Market. Here, you are welcome to sample popular street food like “goi cuon“, “banh khot”, or “bot chien“, and sipping fresh juices. It’s a chance to witness how a traditional Vietnamese market operates in the heart of the metropolitan Saigon. 

Next, take a stroll to Cau Mong, a 19th–century iron bridge built by the Eiffel engineering company. This colonial–era structure offers a charming, ground–level view of the city skyline across the Bến Nghé Canal – a peaceful moment amidst the city’s lively energy. From there, your journey continues to the Bitexco Financial Tower, where the Saigon Skydeck on the 49th floor reveals a panoramic 360–degree view from above, offering a completely different angle of the same vibrant city. 

Wrap up your evening in District 5, a culturally rich area known for its vibrant food scene. Here, you’ll enjoy a flavorful local dinner featuring dishes that reflect the neighborhood’s unique blend of cultures. The tour ends on a sweet note with a taste of “che trung” – a beloved Chinese–style dessert featuring a tender egg served in warm, fragrant herbal syrup. Before heading back, take a stroll along Hai Thuong Lan Ong Street – named after a legendary physician. This iconic street lined with traditional medicine shops and the scent of dried herbs, offers a glimpse into the area’s cultural heritage and a tranquil close to your culinary journey.
