The walking version of our Cholon tour — slower, more detailed, better for travellers who want to actually stop and look rather than ride past.
Why people love it
- On foot, at a pace where you can really take in the detail
- Visit multiple temples with proper time at each
- Explore market streets you can't easily access by bike
- Guide shares Cholon's history as a distinct community within Saigon
- Good combination with a food stop or two along the way
