Vietnam Language Trip

We'll start our city exploration early to avoid some of the heat and time it nicely for breakfast and coffee! From our accommodation, we can walk to many of the city's major sites and attractions. Our walk will include the cathedral, historic post office, many examples of colonial architecture including the American and French embassies and hotels, shopping streets and the river.

We will stop for an iced Vietnamese style coffee and a street stall breakfast.

Welcome to Saigon - Ho Chi Minh City. As a group we will head out to try a wide range of Vietnam's best dishes. You'll be welcomed in style!

We will continue our walking tour to the Ben Thanh Market - this is optional, as you may like to visit later during the week.

We'll visit this landmark in Saigon, which is frozen in time from 1975.

Saigon Street Eats have been running street food tours in Ho Chi Minh City for years. They are expert at taking us into hidden pockets of Saigon, showing us the best vendors and food to buy, as well teaching us about ingredients, cooking methods and what to look for when choosing street food. 

We will travel to the meeting point of this food tour be taxi or motorbike - your choice!

On Monday and Tuesday afternoon we will travel by taxi to Vietnamese Language Garden (about a ten-minute taxi ride from our accommodation). At the Vietnamese language school, we will learn some of the most useful expressions and practice our pronunciations. These lessons are for complete beginners. If you've learned some Vietnamese before, be sure to let me know so we can place you in a different class.

The War Remnants Museum is the most visited museum in Ho Chi Minh City. Some of the exhibits can be quite confronting but it is definitely worth visiting.

Saigon has got a growing boutique brewery scene. Join us as we sample some of the best breweries in the city.

Another one of my favourite places to eat - this time we're heading out of the central district (by taxi). 

Saigon is blessed with many fantastic rooftop bars - serving cocktails with a view. If you feel like joining, we'll be heading out for a Mojito after our farewell dinner. 

If you are interested in some pampering and downtime, I can recommend where to go for a massage or pedicure.

Join me on a coffee sampling tour to some of the best cafes in Saigon.

Take a day trip out of Saigon to the Cu Chi Tunnels - travel by boat or by mini bus/private car.
