What To Expect

Cu Chi Tunnels
Transfer from your hotel to Tan Cang Jetty & depart for Cu Chi Tunnels by join-in speedboat. Enjoy the excursion along Saigon River with the outskirt pictures scenery.
Cu Chi was an important base during the American War, because of its strategic location. The Vietcong built a 200km long network of tunnels connecting command posts, hospitals, shelter and weapon factories. Dug out of hard laterite by hand tools without the use of cement, the tunnel system stretched from Saigon to the Cambodian border and was three levels deep. Today, the remaining tunnels have become a major tourist attraction, giving visitors a unique experience and a feeling of what underground life in the war must have been like.

War Remnants Museum
Formerly the Museum of Chinese and American War Crimes, the War Remnants Museum is consistently popular with Western tourists. Few museums anywhere convey the brutal effects of war on its civilian victims so powerfully. Many of the atrocities documented here were well publicised, but rarely do Westerners hear the victims of US military action tell their own stories. While some displays are one-sided, many of the most disturbing photographs illustrating US atrocities are from US sources, including those of the infamous My Lai Massacre.

Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral
Built between 1877 and 1883, Notre Dame Cathedral enlivens the heart of Ho Chi Minh City's government quarter, facing Ð Dong Khoi. A brick, neo-Romanesque church with 40m-high square towers tipped with iron spires, the Catholic cathedral is named after the Virgin Mary. Interior walls are inlaid with devotional tablets and some stained glass survives.

30 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Central Post Office
Right across the way from Notre Dame Cathedral, Ho Chi Minh City's striking French post office is a period classic, designed by Marie-Alfred Foulhoux (though often credited to Gustave Eiffel) and built between 1886 and 1891. Painted on the walls of its grand concourse are fascinating historic maps of South Vietnam, Saigon and Cholon, while a mosaic of Ho Chi Minh takes pride of place at the end of its barrel-vaulted hall. Note the magnificent tiled floor of the interior and the copious green-painted wrought iron.

30 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Ho Chi Minh City
When the sun goes down, you will have a chance for discovering Ho Chi Minh’s street food from the back of a vintage Vespa scooter. Early this evening, meet your Vespa driver at the hotel lobby, then be driven to the local Zoom coffee shop for a welcome drink & briefing about the trip. Start the journey with en-route stops including dinner & drinks at Saigon’s best authentic street food, and a Vietnamese-style coffee shop. Drive back to hotel.
