Overview
A Ho Chi Minh City walking tour that starts early, when Saigon is still cool and soft with not much honking and heat :)
We meet at the monk monument near downtown. This is pretty heavy story, good one to hear first.
Then we eat :) Grandma noodles in an alley Google Maps has never heard of. Hot dumplings, beef stew, some coffees all from my favorite neighborhood.
This Saigon early riser tour also winds through the city's second biggest wet market. Locals call it the chessboard because of the alleys. You'll taste exotic Vietnamese fruits and meet the aunties who sell them.
Vietnamese coffee too. Strong, made the old way.
We duck into a hidden apartment block where communist families have lived for generations. I will share with you histories and stories from our Vietnamese perspective.
We walk slow, stop a lot, talk about whatever we want.
Three hours of local Saigon. Full belly, cats spotted along the way
Just a chill morning with me who grew up on these streets.
