Itinerary
In the morning a car and guide will come to your hotel and pick you up at lobby then starting your trip to Cu Chi tunnel
The Cu Chi Tunnels, known as the “iron land,” are one of the world’s largest underground networks, showcasing the resilience and ingenuity of those who lived and fought there. Explore the tunnels, learn wartime stories, and witness remnants of the conflict for a deeper understanding of Vietnam’s history. After the visit, enjoy a local Vietnamese lunch before returning to Ho Chi Minh City.
The Independence Palace, or Reunification Palace, is a key historical site in Ho Chi Minh City. Built in the 1960s as the Presidential residence, it became famous on April 30, 1975, when Liberation Army tanks entered, marking the end of the Vietnam War. Visitors can explore its halls, meeting rooms, and preserved artifacts, learning about Vietnam’s history and patriotism.
The War Remnants Museum vividly illustrates the harsh realities of the Vietnam War, showcasing photographs, posters, and artifacts that reveal the suffering of the Vietnamese people and global anti-war efforts. Exhibits highlight the destruction from napalm and Agent Orange, experimental weapons, and honor photographers who lost their lives, making it a powerful and historically significant site.
Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon, built by the French from 1877–1880, features Roman and Gothic architecture with two 58-meter bell towers and imported red brick façades. Its stained-glass windows and spacious interior make it both a place of worship and a key cultural landmark of Saigon.
Saigon Central Post Office, built by the French from 1886–1891 near Notre Dame Cathedral, showcases Neoclassical architecture with Gothic and Renaissance influences. Its decorated façade, vaulted ceilings, and murals of old city maps make it a key historical and tourist site. After the visit, the car will return you to the hotel, ending the tour
