Description

Your tour begins with a hotel pickup and a visit to some of the most famous landmarks in Ho Chi Minh City. Explore the Independence Palace, an important symbol of Vietnam’s history, and learn how it played a key role during the war. Continue to see the beautiful Notre Dame Cathedral and the Central Post Office, both built during the French colonial period. Then, visit the War Remnants Museum, where powerful photos and displays help you understand more about the history of the Vietnam War. In the afternoon, travel to Cho Lon (Chinatown), known for its busy markets and Chinese heritage. Stop at Thien Hau Pagoda, a peaceful temple dedicated to the Goddess of the Sea and loved by the local community. After that, head to Bach Dang Harbor and board a waterbus for a relaxing ride on the Saigon River. Enjoy wide, open views of the modern city, including Vinhomes Central Park, Landmark 81, Bitexco Tower, and the green riverside area of Thu Duc City. This short cruise gives you a calm moment to see both the old and new sides of Saigon. In the early evening, watch a traditional Vietnamese water puppetry show. The puppets move on the water while live musicians play folk instruments and singers tell simple stories about daily life in the countryside. Even though the show is in Vietnamese, it is easy to follow and fun for all ages. End your day with a dinner cruise on the Saigon River. Step onto a traditional-style boat and enjoy a Vietnamese meal while the city lights shine all around you. Take in the cool breeze, the skyline, and the peaceful atmosphere of Saigon at night. After the cruise, you will be taken back to your hotel, bringing a full and memorable day to a close.
