(4 days / 3nights)

Ho Chi Minh City -Cu Chi - Mekong Delta

 

Day 1:  Arrival - Ho Chi Minh City

On arrival at Tan Son Nhat Airport, you are met and transferred to hotel. Ho Chi Minh City, still called Saigon by many locals, is a center of commerce, finance, culture and tourism in Vietnam. This bustling metropolis is a contrast to its northern counterpart with its crowded streets full of bikes and motorbikes, fascinating numerous shopping areas and sidewalk cafes. If time permits we stroll around the downtown area to explore the different local ways of life.

Overnight in hotel, Ho Chi Minh City.

 

Day 2 :  Ho Chi Minh City - Cu Chi (B)

Breakfast at the hotel. The sightseeing tour acquaints us with the city's major sights. We pass the now-demolished wartime American Embassy before exploring the Reunification Palace which was the former residence of the President of South Vietnam until April 1975. Close to this palace are some French colonial structures including the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Old Saigon Post Office. After seeing the Jade Emperor Pagoda and the War Remnant Museum, we continue our trip on to the bustling Ben Thanh Market where anything and everything is for sale. We drive out this afternoon, to explore the Cu Chi Tunnels, an incredible underground network constructed by Vietnamese fighters during the long struggle for independence. The tunnels contained hospitals, plus accommodation and schools, and were used as a military base for the Vietcong in the American war.

Day 3 :  Ho Chi Minh City - Mekong Delta (B,L)

Breakfast at the hotel. Heading out of the town, we travel by road to the Mekong Delta, Vietnam's largest rice bowl. On arrival in My Tho we embark on a boat navigating around the intricate small canals in the delta region, which is a great way to observe the local lifestyle close-up and catch a view of the many islands here. The exciting excursion will pass the lush green vegetation before arriving at the famous Unicorn Island. Here we have opportunities to stroll around an orchard, taste many seasonal fruits and enjoy  wonderful traditional music. The next stop of our trip is Ben Tre Province to visit some fascinating local industries. After feasting on a huge lunch we return to Ho Chi Minh City, stopping along the way to see the beautiful Ving Trang Pagoda and the Cholon, Saigon’s Chinatown, which is crammed with sacred temples and old-style narrow lanes.
