Description

Experience Ho Chi Minh City like a local on a guided tour. Enjoy a traditional breakfast, a Michelin-selected lunch, and a lotus tea tasting, and visit the Independence Palace and War Remnants Museum.
Skip the typical sightseeing route and experience Ho Chi Minh City the way locals do. This immersive full-day journey combines Vietnam's rich history, authentic food culture, and everyday lifestyle into one carefully curated experience.

Start your morning before the city fully awakens with a traditional Vietnamese breakfast. Taste Bún Chả, one of Vietnam's most beloved dishes, before enjoying a rich and creamy Vietnamese egg coffee at a local café—a daily ritual for many Saigon residents.

Travel through the city's fascinating past with visits to the Independence Palace and the War Remnants Museum, where you'll gain a deeper understanding of Vietnam's history, resilience, and journey toward peace.

At lunchtime, dine at Cơm Tấm Ba Nghiền, a Michelin-selected restaurant renowned for its signature broken rice and giant grilled pork chop—a local favorite that has become one of Saigon's culinary icons.

Continue your adventure through the vibrant Ben Thanh Market, where colorful stalls showcase local handicrafts, spices, street snacks, and souvenirs. Then slow the pace with a peaceful introduction to Vietnamese lotus tea culture, learning why lotus tea has long symbolized elegance and hospitality in Vietnamese traditions.
