SGN-08 Discover Saigon (half day) 

Saigon is a fascinating city with many things to see and do. However, why not try to see the attractions a little differently. Connections Vietnam arranges a 'meet' for you where you will be guided by our student volunteers. You may decide the itinerary yourself and enjoy the warmth and security of eager guides for the duration of your meet, or you may request that our students lead the way. If you choose the latter, expect the unexpected, as our students are advised to avoid the tourist hotspots and show you a part of the city that other tourists do not see.

SGN-09 Discover Saigon (1/2 days) 

Choose your own itinerary whilst we look after you for two whole days. Our services include a 'meet' with local students, a cooking class inside a Vietnamese home conducted by the home owner, a social dinner occasion and a 'learn' seminar where you'll engage your brain and learn more about the country your visiting. Ask us to construct a package for you and we'll happily oblige.
