Description

Transport yourself to the times of Ho Chi Minh's many historic events on an eye-opening journey with a local guide. Travel to several major war sites and visit a war history museum, as well as a couple of cultural landmarks, such as the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Central Post Office. Enjoy pickup from your accommodation then head over to the Cu Chi Tunnels, a famous network of underground passageways used during the Vietnam War and the Tet Offensive. Learn what the locals used to engage in guerilla warfare and meet a war veteran, with the option to fire a rifle at an extra cost. Head back to the city and stop for a delicious local lunch before visiting the War Remnants Museum. Walk through the exhibits that showcase paraphernalia relating to the First Indochina War and the Vietnam War, and take in the rich history of the nation. Up next is the striking Independence Palace. Discover this iconic landmark, once the home and office of Vietnam's presidents, explore the grand hall and admire the stunning architecture. Afterward, marvel at the beautiful design of the 19th-century Notre Dame Cathedral, built by French colonists. Your last stop of the day is just across the cathedral at the Central Post Office. Stroll through another building with a heavy French influence and enjoy its striking structure and sweeping ceilings. Take some time to browse through the local vendors' stalls before driving back to your hotel.
