Tour Plan
Arrive in Saigon City, welcome by our guide and transfer to the hotel for check in.
Ho Chi Minh City, formerly named Saigon, is the largest city and economic center of Vietnam, always bustled with activities of modern life. It is where businesses converge and shoppers indulge themselves into unlimited choices. However the city also carries with it a rich historical legacy in contrast with its dazzling glamor.
Afternoon, take a half-day city tour to visit outside of Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica (is renovating until 2023), a neo-Roman cathedral built by the colonial French with materials entirely imported from Marseilles, Saigon Central Post Office, which was designed and constructed in the early 20th Century by the famous French architect Gustave Eiffel. Last but not least, we will visit Cho Lon area or the city’s ChinaTown and the Jade Emperor Temple (Phuoc Hai), a rare Taoist structure in Vietnam built by the Cantonese community in the area in 1909.
Meals: No Meal
Accommodation: A hotel used in Saigon
Morning, take a half-day tour to the Cu Chi Tunnels, 75 km Northwest of downtown Ho Chi Minh City, which were once a major underground hideout and resistance base of Viet Cong forces during the two wars against the French and later on Americans. The tunnels, entirely hand-dug, formed a highly intricate network of interlinked multilevel passageways at times stretched as far as the Cambodian border and totaling over 120 km in length. Its complexity was beyond imagination, containing meeting rooms, kitchens, wells, clinics, schools, depots, trenches and emergency exits all aimed for guerrilla warfare. The tunnels were deep and strong enough to withstand destructive bombings and self-contained enough to outlast prolonged sieges. Back to Ho Chi Minh City and spend time at leisure.
Afternoon, take a half-day city tour to visit the War Remnants Museum, which features an extensive collection of exhibits including weaponry, photos and documentation on Vietnam’s wars with the French and Americans. Then, you have free time to go shopping at Ben Thanh Market.
Meals: Breakfast
Accommodation: A hotel used in Saigon
In the morning, after breakfast, travel by road for 2 hours to reach the Mekong Delta, known as the world’s largest delta and Vietnam's largest rice bowl. Upon arrival in My Tho City, the capital of Tien Giang Province, embark on a boat and navigate through intricate canals while observing local daily life up close, along with the picturesque landscape of waterways and lush islands.
Land on Unicorn Island to enjoy wandering through verdant orchards, tasting fresh fruits, and listening to some Southern-style traditional music. Proceed to the second delta province, Ben Tre, where you will watch local villagers make coconut candy in a rural workshop, take a brief walk around, and experience riding a horse-pulled carriage. Continue cruising to visit some bee-keeping households to taste fresh homegrown honey and honey tea.
Return to Ho Chi Minh City and spend leisure time.
