The City that Never Sleeps
Ho Chi Minh City pulses with life. From sunrise to the early hours of the morning, the city flows with energy - street corners filled with laughter, avenues bathed in motorbike lights, rooftop bars buzzing with music. Yet, amid the constant motion, a quiet elegance lingers. Tree-lined boulevards. Yellow colonial buildings. Timeworn churches. French balconies watching over modern chaos.This is Vietnam’s largest city - bold, vibrant, and full of contrasts. A place where café culture thrives alongside bustling markets, and where high-end dining meets street food brilliance. Its heartbeat is found on the sidewalks, but its soul rests by the Saigon River, best experienced on a private dinner cruise as the city glows at dusk.
Travel with Viland means more than just sightseeing. Our private, expert-led tours are designed for those who seek depth - exclusive foodie walks through District 1’s hidden alleys, a curated shopping journey to Saigon’s best concept stores, and behind-the-scenes access to colonial landmarks with a personal guide who brings history to life.
End your day above it all - cocktail in hand, city below, stories unfolding.
Let the chaos stay on the street. You’re here to feel the rhythm - and relax into it.
Highlights

Ho Chi Minh City is a place of contrast and energy. Every guest leaves with a story - from quiet moments in a hidden temple to the buzz of rooftop nightlife. I love helping travelers find their version of Saigon. You will find it fascinating when exploring the shops in an old apartment, walking through the alleys to feel the sounds of the local city life or enjoying some cocktails at a hidden bar. A must-go city that you need to go for your next trip to Vietnam.
