Day 1 – Arrival in Ho Chi Minh City
You’ll stay in the heart of District 1, an area of Ho Chi Minh popular with tourists and locals alike. It might be hectic, but it’s packed with character and you’ll find something fascinating happening on every street corner. There’s an eclectic mix of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants right on your doorstep.
Days 2-3 – Vespa street food tour & departure
Today is your own until just after nightfall. Shop for anything under the sun at Ben Thanh Market, visit the harrowing War Remnants Museum or take a peek at the Reunification Palace. The city has a multitude of colonial architecture including churches, the central post office and railway station. Alternatively, pull up a plastic chair at a street cafe and people-watch with a sweet Vietnamese coffee.
Just after sunset, your driver will arrive to take you on a mouth-watering whirlwind Vespa tour of the city. Weaving through a maze of alleys and cut-throughs, you’ll stop at hole-in-the-wall hangouts to try some authentic street food dishes. Along the way, you’ll meet some great local personalities and hit some live music bars and truly secret spots. It really is a night to remember!
After breakfast on day 3, it’s time to head off on your next adventure.
