Your Ho Chi Minh City tour itinerary

The driver and I will meet you at Phu My port gate with a sign bearing your name. The Phu My port gate is 8 to 15 minute walk from the ship, or, alternatively, you can use the shuttle bus to get to Phu My port gate. We will then take you to the Cu Chi tunnels. * Once there, I will give you a briefing about the Cu Chi tunnels by means of a map and a battlefield model. * We will take the forest path to see trapping devices, battle trenches, air vents, etc. . . * If you want to know how it feels, you can crawl into the tunnels yourself. * Back in Saigon, we will visit war museum, the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Post office and the market. If you wish to have lunch, I can recommend you a local restaurant where you can dine on delicious Vietnamese food at a reasonable price. For me, the most important thing is your satisfaction. I am flexible about the itinerary to ensure you will get the best from your tour.
