Backyard Travel Release New Vietnam Tour: Insiders Saigon– Cuisine, Architecture & the Arts

Backyard Travel have today released news of a new tour that gets beneath the surface of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's dynamic city, also known as Saigon.

The insider's tour starts with a meeting with a local writer who will guide travellers through parts of the city which are off the regular tourist path, providing a fascinating insight into Saigon's history. Then the first evening will be spent zipping around the streets on the back of a vintage Vespa scooter, before travellers have the opportunity to dine and dance the night away with the locals.

Led by local specialists, this tour also lets travellers discover Vietnam's vibrant art scene, with visits to different exhibitions and museums, and a guided tour through an 'artist's village' where the houses are used as studios by local artists.

The fascinating tour will also take travellers to the green spaces of Saigon, with the chance to observe the wonderful spectacle of seeing locals practising the graceful movements of Tai Chi and other early morning activities in 'Tao Dan Park', and then experiencing a slice of rural Vietnamese life with a bicycle ride around 'Thanh Da Island', which despite its proximity to the center has an abundance of lush vegetation.

Rounding off the insider tour, travelers will learn the techniques required to prepare a range of delicious Vietnamese dishes, before then sampling the gastronomical delights they have just prepared.
