The Tour

What to expect.

Discover two sides of southern Vietnam in a single day. You begin underground at the historic Cu Chi Tunnels, the vast network the Viet Cong lived and fought in, then head back into the city for its most important landmarks: the War Remnants Museum, Reunification Palace, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Central Post Office and the temples of Cho Lon, Ho Chi Minh City's Chinatown. You travel in an air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking guide, and lunch, entrance fees and hotel pick-up and drop-off are all handled for you.
