What sets the Saigon Walking Tour by Joy Journeys apart is the unique perspective and experience it offers as this is a walking tour with maximum 6 travelers in the group.

These young locals, who are soon-to-be professional tour guides, have a genuine passion for sharing their love for Saigon and Vietnam with global travelers.

The tour goes beyond surface-level knowledge and aims to foster cultural exchange and create memorable experiences. It allows participants to engage in casual conversations, ask questions, and delve into the personal stories, local insights, and recommendations of university students. Through their narratives, visitors gain a vivid picture of Saigon's beauty, traditions, and way of life, making the tour an authentic and immersive experience.

Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral

Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon, commonly known as Notre-Dame Cathedral, is a Catholic cathedral located in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Built in the late 19th century, the cathedral's architecture is inspired by the French Gothic style, with its iconic twin bell towers standing at a height of 58 meters. The building's red brick exterior is decorated with intricate stone carvings and stained-glass windows. Despite being a popular tourist attraction and a place of worship for local Catholics, the cathedral has faced challenges in recent years due to structural deterioration and pollution, requiring ongoing renovation and preservation efforts.

    It was a nice way to see some of the highlights of Ho Chi Min. Andrea did a good job explaining everything to us. Since it was just my wife and I we got her full attention.
