What You’ll Experience

1

The Venerable Thich Quang Duc Monument

The monument stands at the intersection where Thich Quang Duc, a Vietnamese Mahayana Buddhist monk, self-immolated on June 11, 1963. This was not a random act of despair, but a carefully planned and incredibly courageous protest against the persecution of Buddhists by the South Vietnamese government of President Ngo Dinh Diem. The Diem regime, which was Roman Catholic, had a history of discriminatory policies against the Buddhist majority.

Nguyen Thien Thuat Apartment Buildings

The specialness of the Nguyen Thien Thuat apartment area lies in its ability to be both a historical relic and a thriving, energetic community. It's a place where you can feel the pulse of old Saigon, witness authentic local life, and, of course, enjoy some of the city's best street food.

The Secret Weapons Cellar

The special thing about the "hầm vũ khí bí mật Sài Gòn" (Saigon Secret Weapons Cellar) isn't just its existence, but the incredibly daring, ingenious, and dangerous story behind it. These cellars, often hidden within seemingly ordinary homes, were vital to the Vietnamese struggle for independence.

It was interesting to see...
May 29, 2026

It was interesting to see a residential part of Saigon. But the trip did not include lunch as advertised in the tour itinerary. And the start was 8.30 not 8 as advertised.

Delicious tour of HCMC!

This was an awesome food tour. Everything we ate was delicious, and the guide even allowed me to try some dishes outside of the official itinerary. Highly recommend!
