A hidden gem

5.00Absolutely recommend the Quach Dam Trails tour for those who love a bit history and adventure. Unforgettable experience for myself and my husband -- weaving through the major intersections and small alleyways of Cho Lon with anh Dung. Particularly enjoyed speaking to the locals who are keeping tradition alive. I've visited HCMC so many times, but only recently decided to learn more about this district, which still plays a big role in shaping the city's culture and economy today.
Great cycling tour
