Day 2: Discovering Ho Chi Minh's Rich Heritage

Start your day with a nourishing breakfast at the hotel before embarking on a journey through Ho Chi Minh City's illustrious past. Our first stop is the Independence Palace, also known as the Reunification Palace, a testament to the city's architectural and historical prowess. Next, we'll transport you to the French Colonial era as you marvel at the architectural gems of the Notre Dame Cathedral and the iconic Central Post Office.

Post these visits, a local lunch awaits you, offering a taste of the city's culinary delights. Post-lunch, we'll journey to the Cu Chi Tunnels, a symbol of resilience and innovation during wartime. Here, you'll not only get a sense of the area's history through a compelling documentary but also experience the tunnels firsthand, visiting the weapon factory, hospitals, kitchens, and even getting a chance to crawl through these underground pathways.

To round off the Cu Chi experience, savor the unique flavor of manioc, a staple for guerilla warriors during the war, and for those feeling adventurous, there's an opportunity to test your marksmanship at a nearby shooting range with an AK47 or MK16.

As the sun begins to set, we'll make our way back to the bustling streets of Saigon, leaving you free to explore the evening at your own pace. Overnight stay in Ho Chi Minh City.

Day 3: The Enchanting Mekong Delta Adventure

Fuel up with a delightful breakfast at the hotel before we set off to the captivating Mekong Delta. As we drive through, the lush landscapes of paddy fields and the authentic countryside lifestyle will unfold before your eyes.

Once in My Tho, step aboard a traditional boat and cruise along the Mekong River. Revel in the tranquil beauty as we pass stilt houses dotting the riverbanks and take in the rhythm of daily life on the water. As a unique treat, we'll then navigate through serene, palm-shaded canals on a smaller sampan, allowing you a closer glimpse of the Delta.

Our journey takes us to a quaint village, where you'll be greeted with refreshing honey tea, taste a selection of exotic tropical fruits, and be serenaded by local traditional music. Lunch promises a feast of local flavors at a nearby restaurant.

Post-lunch, we'll introduce you to the entrepreneurial spirit of the Delta at a family-run business, showcasing the artistry and traditions of the region. As the day draws to a close, we'll drive back to Ho Chi Minh City. You're free to explore the city's vibrant night scene or opt for a quiet evening. Rest up for the night in Ho Chi Minh City.
