Tour Highlights:

* BREAKFAST - Dine with the locals on their favorite breakfast soup, no NOT Phở, at a local street-side eatery. Follow it up with the divine coffee.

* EMPEROR OF JADE TEMPLE - Just around the corner from breakfast, a classical example of Vietnamese influences on Chinese traditional temples.

* BA CHIEU MARKET - Shop alongside the locals. No souvenirs on offer here, just one of the largest local markets in the city. Everything from seafood to slippers!

* BEER-HALL LUNCH (One for the Guys) - Take a lunch of Vietnamese cuisine with the locals. True Vietnamese dishes in a truly Saigon atmosphere - in an open-sided beer-hall!

* HAIR WASH, SCALP/FACIAL MASSAGE (One for the Girls) - Enjoy a little pampering Saigon-style. Since the prices are so cheap, few women wash their own hair here when it can also come with scalp and facial massage!

* VIETNAMESE HOUSE - Take a look inside a typically small Vietnamese home - and marvel at how we cram so much "stuff" - and so many people into them!

* BUDDHIST PAGODA - Learn more about the realities of this ancient religion in modern-day Communist Vietnam.

* SURPRISE DINNER (Optional) - Evening street-side dining at its authentic best!
