Things to do in Ho Chi Minh

I saw this on TikTok and immediately decided to book it! Even after participating, I felt that this experience for the price was incredibly good value. You get to have an amazing time that truly makes you feel like you've arrived in Southeast Asia, so you absolutely must sign up! Our hotel was at a pick-up point, so they came to get us downstairs at 7:40 AM (it was actually around 7:35 AM, right on time). Since we chose the luxury limousine option, the journey took a little over two hours, but it was very comfortable. The seats reclined! For the first 20 minutes or so, our guide explained the history of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City, and the Mekong Delta in English. About 15 minutes before our next stop, we went to a place like a rest area! It's highly recommended to use the restroom here. Our tour started with a temple visit; after about 30-40 minutes there, we moved again by bus. The guide provided explanations and helped us take photos. After about five more minutes, we arrived at the boat dock. First, all of us (there were 17 people) boarded a motorized boat to Unicorn Island. Here, we listened to folk songs while sampling different fruits, drank honey tea at a bee farm, and even had a snake draped around our necks. We then moved by boat again, and at the next location, we sampled coconut candy at a candy factory and fed crocodiles. Afterward, we had lunch. The food was generally lightly seasoned, but I found it delicious! The elephant ear fish (there's a photo) is served as fresh spring rolls, but you can eat the remaining parts too. Since it was quite lightly seasoned, I asked if there was salt, and they kindly brought some on a plate for free! It's incredibly tasty with salt, so I highly recommend it. The restrooms near this spot are surprisingly clean, according to a friend. After that, we rode a hand-rowed boat for about 15 minutes (this was an experience, not to go anywhere specific), and that concluded the tour activities. Then, we took a tuk-tuk back to the boat dock, boarded a boat, and finally returned by bus. Everyone on the bus was fast asleep on the way back! Lol. We arrived at Ben Thanh Market around 5:15 PM. Our guide spoke excellent English and spoke at a pace that even I, who isn't fluent in English, could understand, allowing me to learn about Vietnamese history. A Japanese-language tour would have been much more expensive, so I think choosing the English tour was the right decision. Thank you so much!

Amazing Cu Chi Tunnels Experience 🇻🇳 We really appreciate our guide, Lee! From the moment we got into the van until we arrived at the Cu Chi Tunnels, he never stopped sharing stories and history about Vietnam. You can really tell how knowledgeable and passionate he is about what he does. He was also funny and engaging, so there was never a dull moment throughout the journey. His stories made the experience more interesting and helped us understand the history behind the Cu Chi Tunnels even better. Thank you, Lee, for making our tour informative, fun, and memorable! Highly recommended! ⭐️

Yes the trip overall is well organised and good value for the price. A highly recommended excursion. One suggestion: time spent at cultural singing rest point where we had fruits could be shortened so as to reduce tour overall time. I visited the war museum today. Both the cuci tunnel and museum visits have impressed upon me the tenacity and resilience of the Vietnamese facing the mindless war caused by the American political leaders. Even their own people protested against the aggression against Vietnam.

I had a wonderful experience on this tour. The guide took excellent care of us throughout the trip, and the driver was very professional, careful, and safety-conscious. They even kindly bought some fruit for us to enjoy, which was a very thoughtful gesture. I would definitely recommend this tour to my friends who plan to visit in the future. Thank you very much for providing such a memorable and enjoyable experience.

A very chill way to end our 5-day trip ♥️ The views from the cruise were so nice :) We enjoyed the ride + the free drink on board. The additional drinks and food we ordered were a good price as well.

Really enjoyed my time here solo!! Feels like I rented the whole place! 🥹

It’s was well worth the experience going to the landmark 81 Saigon Skyview. awesome views looking over Saigon city. I went in the afternoon wasn’t too busy. from district 1 it was only a 20mins motorbike ride. there is restaurants and bar at the top floor. if you come to Saigon you need to check out this landmark it’s awesome!

amazing show! kudos to all the cast! superb performance! even if it is in Vietnamese Language, everyone can still understand every acts. It is, indeed, a-must try to all first timer visitors! Thank you! until next time!
