Description

Begin your 4-hour tour with a pick-up from your hotel at 8:00 AM. On this tour, you will discover Ho Chi Minh City, also informally known by its former name of Saigon. Saigon is seen as the center of frenetic commercial activities, a fast-growing environment and a land of contrasts - between rich and poor, country and city, past and present.  Receive a full view of the city in just a few hours while sitting on the back of a motorbike like the locals. Experience the difference between the touristic hub of Saigon and the slums inside the city center as well as outside. Visit the slums in the old mafia area and the slums along the river through districts 5 to 7. Witness the slums in process of dismantling and re-construction.  Learn more about the local guide's views and thoughts and hear about the life in the slums. You will also visit the charity food stall, where they sell a meal with rice for only 2,000 VND. This tour shows you the contrast of the city and tells you about Vietnam's society after the war, the bustling city and how people make a living in the slum areas, giving you a different perspective on Saigon and a better understanding of the city.
