Itinerary
Zip through the narrow alleys of Saigon on the back of a vintage scooter and gain a greater understanding of why locals love this mode of transportation. In essence, scooters allow them to easily zig-zag through areas that cars simply can’t negotiate. The alleys and streets are particularly narrow and atmospheric in District 4, a section of the city bordering the Saigon River that is aggressively being redeveloped. But your immersion into the city will go much deeper than just riding around on a scooter.
You will get a glimpse into the local lifestyle by visiting a Chinese apartment that is more than 100 years old and by pausing for a cup of coffee at a small family-owned shop. Be sure to converse with the locals for their take on how Saigon is changing. You will also have the opportunity to talk to an artist that paints on the cracked and chipped exteriors of buildings.
This tour is a recommended sample itinerary handcrafted by our destination specialists that can be fully customized to your preferred dates, time frame, hotel’s location and travel interests.
