Saigon's Allure: Saigon, also known as Ho Chi Minh City, is a city that truly never sleeps. It offers an abundance of delectable restaurants and vibrant bars, catering to all palates. From humble street food vendors serving mouthwatering local dishes to the iconic rooftop bar at the Rex Hotel, where international correspondents covered the Vietnam War during the "Five O’clock Follies." Whatever your interests, don't hesitate to seek personalized recommendations from our friendly guide.

Good Morning! Your journey begins in the morning as we whisk you away to the Cu Chi Tunnels, an integral part of the Vietnam-American War, and a captivating day trip. Venture deep into these mysterious tunnels, uncover hidden doors, and experience the once-deadly traps that played a significant role in the war.

Afternoon of Choices: Following a satisfying lunch, you have the freedom to decide your next adventure. You can choose to visit either the War Remnants Museum or the Presidential Palace based on your personal interests. As the day transitions into evening, stroll along the colonial streets of the city. Explore the Old Saigon Post Office, Dong Khoi Street, Continental Hotel, Opera House, and City Hall.

A Taste of Saigon's Nightlife:

This evening presents a unique opportunity to embrace the nightlife of local Saigonese from the back of a vintage motorbike. As the city awakens at sundown, its sidewalks, parks, and streets come alive with people. To begin your culinary journey, savor some light evening snacks, then continue to a traditional quan (bia hoi) for dinner and drinks. Here, you'll sample some of Saigon's most authentic street food. No evening in Ho Chi Minh City is complete without a visit to a Vietnamese-style coffee shop.

Journey to Chau Doc: Depart from the bustling city this morning as you leave the urban hustle and are gradually surrounded by the scenic beauty of rice paddies and rural villages on your way to Chau Doc. En route, pause in Sa Dec, where you'll explore the vibrant gardens and fruit orchards of a local family. You'll also visit Kien An Cung Pagoda before relishing a delectable lunch in the former residence of Huynh Thuy Le, a prominent character in Marguerite Duras' novel. Upon arriving in Chau Doc, head to the summit of Sam Mountain, a renowned pilgrimage site, and take in panoramic views of the countryside as the sun sets.

Exploring Tra Su: After breakfast, around 8:00 am, embark on a journey to Tra Su. Here, a boat trip through the forest will instantly connect you with nature. The picturesque surroundings, replete with cajuput trees, fragrant blossoms, and the melodic chorus of birds, insects, and animals, will induce a sense of tranquility and comfort. From the observation post, you'll have a breathtaking view of the forest that covers nearly 900 hectares, home to a wide array of bird and animal species, including some rare ones. You'll have lunch in the forest and enjoy a relaxing time on a hammock or try crossing a monkey bridge. Returning to the mainland, you'll drive to Can Tho, with stops along the way to visit the bamboo basket-making village of Long Thanh. Upon arrival in Can Tho, check in at your hotel and enjoy some free time.

Boat Trip on the Lower Mekong River: Embark on a leisurely boat journey to explore the scenic tributaries of the Lower Mekong River, particularly the Bassac River. Your adventure leads you to the Cai Rang floating markets, known for their lively and bustling atmosphere.

Taste Vietnamese Vermicelli Soup: Have you ever savored Vietnamese vermicelli soup? This is your opportunity to witness how it's created. Stroll through the village, interact with the warm-hearted locals, and even test your skills at crossing a "Monkey bridge," ingeniously constructed with just one bamboo stem. Don't forget to visit the orchard garden before stopping for a delicious lunch. On the way back to Ho Chi Minh City by bus, you'll make a final stop to witness the creation of incense sticks.

Your morning in Ho Chi Minh City is free for you to explore at your leisure. When the time is right, your private car will arrive to transport you to the airport for your next adventure.
