Half Day Saigon Street Secrets
This ‘Saigon Streets Secrets’ tour enables you to absorb the metropolitan lifestyle with a difference. This exploration is influenced by oriental traditions and it will reveal an ‘unseen’ part of Ho Chi Minh City that is off the established tourist trail. We walk leisurely through some thematic streets where antiques, birds, bonsai and handicrafts are for sale. We also visit the traditional medicine museum and explore the art of healing. We also browse a special market that stocks everything from decorative flowers to wartime objects. During this interactive exploration, you will learn about objects and practices that are important to Vietnamese people, both physically and spiritually. Lunch is served in a nostalgic Saigon cafe hidden in an old flat.
