There’s perhaps nothing more Vietnamese than sitting atop a tiny stool on a busy city street and tucking into a bowl of something brimming with intoxicating flavours. For all the fancy restaurants you could book a table at in Saigon, the city’s street food is where you’ll really feel the pulse of Vietnam’s flavours and people. Almost just as thrilling as all the dishes you’re about to try tonight is the chance to zip around the city on the back of a restored vintage Vespa. The places you’ll stop at aren’t in any guide book. These are places that evoke special memories of childhoods in the city for the locals. 

INCLUDE: Breakfast, Dinner

ACCOMODATION:  Bach Suites

Saigon’s breakneck pace gives way to a totally different cadence once you enter Bến Tre Province in the Mekong Delta, a fascinating region where the locals have learned to be self-sufficient and live in harmony with the river’s natural bounty.

Before your final night dinner of yet more delicious Vietnamese food on to the best rooftop bar in Saigon.
