GROUP TOUR ITINERARY Start your day with pickup from Ben Thanh Market and head to Can Gio. Once you arrive, visit the mangrove forest where over 1,000 monkeys live. Have the opportunity to feed and take photos with many monkeys that surround you and even climb on your shoulders. After that, take a short walk to the crocodile area where local people conserve many huge crocodiles from the "American war". There you can also try "crocodile fishing" (This activity is only available on weekends at your own expense). Next, take a speed boat to "Sac" guerilla camp, which was built in the deep jungle. The camp has now become a major tourist attraction and a unique experience for visitors to understand what jungle life was like during the war. After the tour, have lunch at a local restaurant. Spend some free time at a local seafood market where you can find various kinds of fresh seafood such as octopus, lobster, ray, and dried foods. Go swimming at the Can Gio Resort beside the market.

About Ho Chi Minh City
Ho Chi Minh City, still widely called Saigon, is Vietnam's buzzing commercial hub of French colonial landmarks, war history and superb street food.
District 1 holds the main sights within walking distance: the red-brick Notre-Dame Cathedral, the elegant Central Post Office with its vaulted hall, the colonial Opera House and the ornate City Hall. The Independence Palace preserves its rooms as they were at the end of the war, and the War Remnants Museum tells the story of the conflict with sobering directness.
Top-ranked sights in Ho Chi Minh City: Cu Chi Tunnels, Saigon Opera House (Opéra de Saïgon), Saigon Central Post Office.
