Ho Chi Minh City, as Viet Nam’s largest city is still affectionately called, is a place full of contrasts. Street vendors with baskets of fruits and flowers share space with modern cafés and high-end boutiques. Although its history spans just over 300 years, the city has witnessed incredible changes—from French colonial days to its role as the capital of the South Viet Nam government, and finally the vibrant hub it is today. This full-day tour blends history, culture, and local life to give you the very best introduction to the city.
We’ll pick you up at your hotel and set off to explore the highlights of the city (the order of visits may vary to make the day flow smoothly):
We’ll stop for a tasty local lunch before continuing into Cho Lon (Chinatown):
