– ITINERARY –

Your guide will meet you in the lobby of your hotel in Districts 1, 3, or 4. After a quick safety briefing, hop on the back of our comfortable local-style motorbikes and get ready to experience Saigon like never before.

 

We’ll begin at the eye-catching Tan Dinh Church, known as the“Pink Church” where you can admire its vibrant French-colonial architecture and learn about its role in local Catholic life. From there, we visit the Thich Quang Duc Monument, honoring the monk whose historic act of sacrifice in 1963 changed the course of Vietnam’s history.

 

The ride then takes us off the tourist trail, weaving through hidden ghettos and slum areas, where your guide will share stories about daily life and the contrasts of modern Saigon. To recharge, we’ll pause at one of the city’s oldest cafés for a cup of strong Vietnamese coffee and a chance to chat with your guide like a true local.

 

Next, step into the serenity of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery, a hidden gem filled with thousands of Buddha statues an awe-inspiring spiritual stop that most travelers never see. We’ll then head into the bustling heart of Chinatown (Cho Lon) to explore its traditional medicine shops, markets, temples, and colonial-era buildings.

 

Finally, we’ll cruise to the Saigon River, where you can enjoy the cool breeze, capture stunning photos, and reflect on the journey before being dropped off at your hotel or a location of your choice.
