Neighborhood Walking Tours in Saigon with a Local Insider
“I think food, culture, people and landscape are all absolutely inseparable”
– Anthony Bourdain
Hi there! If you’re looking for an authentic local experience off the tourist trail – then you’ve come to the right place!
I’m really excited to share the Saigon experience with you in my curated neighborhood walking tours. As a Vietnamese-American living in Saigon for over twenty years, I offer guests an insider perspective of everyday life while also sharing some of my favorite places to visit. I’ll introduce you to some of the tastiest Vietnamese foods and you’ll hear fascinating stories of the people behind them and those we meet along the way. Join me on this unique walking exploration through some of my favorite neighborhoods in Saigon!
The Experience
In our 3-4 hour walking tour, you will delve into local neighborhoods, walk through winding narrow alleyways, see the local way of life, sample popular everyday foods, and observe fascinating historical architecture and vibrant street scenes.
Culinary Melting Pot
With historical influences from the French, Chinese, and Khmer and home to regional cuisines from all over Vietnam - it's no wonder that Ho Chi Minh City is recognized as the food capital of Vietnam. On our walking tours, depending on the districts, you'll be able to sample some well-known foods like Bánh Mì, Phở, and Cơm Tấm while also discovering some lesser-known local favorites.
Past & Present
Ho Chi Minh City is a dynamic metropolis of over 15 million people covering 16 districts and a sub-city of Thu Duc. The city is often referred to as 'Saigon' which was the capital of Indochina (1887-1901) during French colonial occupation and the area covers present-day Cholon and Ben Nghe province. On our walking tours, you'll be able to see the remnants of Saigon from yesteryear while also witness the impressive changes of this modern day city.
