Tour description

Tourists usually see Ho Chi Minh City as a majestic, crowded and modern image of Vietnam. What if we can show you the actual simple local life in this chaotic city?

With this evening walking tour, we will go through different small neighborhoods together, exploring those small alleys, touring through the oldest apartments from the 1960s and the biggest flower market in the city. Learn about the local streetfood and the Vietnamese evening life in the area. We’ll take you through different timelines from the French colony to the story of the Buddhists during the  Vietnam War.

We’ll end the tour in the city center, leaving the history behind and go back to reality to explore the nightlife on the biggest party street in the city - Bui Vien walking street.
If you don’t have time to eat before the tour, we can stop and grab the most famous Banh Mi in the city.
