What to expect

Hands-on coffee brewing workshop

• Your coffee workshop fee is covered in the experience, so you can focus on learning, tasting, and asking questions without handling payments during the session.
• An expert English-speaking guide or instructor leads the workshop, explaining each stage and sharing stories that connect the brewing process with Saigon's unique coffee culture.

Heritage shop

On the group or private tour formats, the route includes a traditional heritage shop that showcases how locals enjoy coffee.

Balcony café

For guests choosing the group or private tour format, a balcony café in an old building is one of the central city stops.

Features

• The balcony café visit offers panoramic street views from a hidden balcony café in an old building, so you can watch Saigon's traffic and street life from above.
• At this stop, your expert English-speaking guide continues the coffee route commentary, connecting modern café culture with the earlier heritage shop visit.

City park

The guided route on group and private options also features a break in a local city park.

Features
