Things to do in Ho Chi Minh

I accidentally lost my tickets, but the staff were incredibly helpful and managed to secure new ones for me. I truly appreciated their support and efficiency. I had just arrived from an early morning flight from Ha Noi and was completely exhausted from lack of sleep. Figuring out the route felt a bit complicated at first, especially while feeling tired, but overall it still turned out to be a really good experience. I highly recommend this activity, especially if you’re confident with directions and enjoy meeting new people. Despite the small hiccup, it was definitely worth it!

I had booked an English tour for 5 people, but it seems there was availability on the day, so I was able to join the Japanese tour. It was the perfect decision, and I felt very safe and enjoyed myself! In the morning, they hand out bottled water in the car, so it's okay if you forget to buy some. There are also toilet breaks along the way, and time to buy Vietnamese coffee etc. The tour content is quite substantial. Temple visit, boat ride, honey tea and snack tasting, snake-around-the-neck experience, fruit tasting (watermelon, pineapple, dragon fruit, papaya, mango), Vietnamese music appreciation, tuk-tuk ride, coconut candy factory tour (with tasting), Mekong River cruise (hats available for rent), and even lunch are all included. To be able to experience all this for about $30 is really a bargain 😳 The guide was very kind and full of hospitality, and carefully explained the history and culture of Vietnam. They took lots of group and overall photos, which made for great memories 🙂‍↕️ As a point of caution, a cash tip is required on the Mekong River cruise (about 60 yen in Japanese currency). Other than that, there are basically no additional expenses, but it's a good idea to have small cash on hand. Also, the time spent on the boat is relatively long, so if you are prone to motion sickness, it is recommended to bring motion sickness medication!! Overall, the satisfaction level was very high, and I can confidently recommend this tour to anyone going to Ho Chi Minh!

It was a great experience! The Van-tour with a smaller group (max. 15 ppl) is really interesting and very informative. We had a great time and a super nice group as well. Our tour guide Kyle was super friendly, passionate and motivated. He did a really good job and explained everything very clearly and detailed. We went with 5 people and all of us would definitely recommend this tour!

This is the only trip in Vietnam I had with Chinese tour guide. Ku chi Tunnel is a must come attractions that will explain how Vietnamese fight with the US army during Vietnam war. Half day trip is just enough, you have sufficient time to have meal and massage back to the city.

Beautiful cruise and outstanding experience ! Staff are very professional and hands-on. It made my birthday special plus the beautiful scenery we witnessed. There's also a magician on board and live band. Food was great and we ordered additional drinks to make the night extra special.

It's a unique religious theme park. There are many statues of important religious figures such as Lord Buddha, Hung Kings, and God of Fortune. There is a great temple too, with grand altars inside. Some attractions are quite unique, such as the Nine Levels of Hell, a darkly-themed walkthrough, depicting torture scenes in the underworld, and Journey to the Center of the Earth, a dark ride to a subterranean world, with mummies, skeletons, and treasures. If you have extra time, or come with kids and teens, or someone seeking the bizarre, authentic, and local cultural and religious immersion, this place is worth-considering. The ticket only grants access to the park. You buy tickets again inside for any rides or attractions of your choice.

After booking at the cloakroom, I went up to the observatory through the underground shopping mall. Since it was only described as underground, I went to the hotel side, but they kindly told me to go to the shopping mall. At the observatory, I really enjoyed the view of Ho Chi Minh City, including the various cityscapes and the river, which showed a blend of tradition and modernity. I was able to take one free photo taken at the entrance to the VR area, and I enjoyed the VR machine. It was nice to have a large shopping mall underground.

This is my third visit to Vettexco, and I always love it because the people are very kind and nice. They are very accommodating, and the view is spectacular. The perfect time to come here is from 4:30 PM until night, so you can see the change in the nightlife in the morning.

Amazing cruise, really nice ambiance, cheap price that comes with a drink and on top of all the crew are welcoming and really nice making sure you got everything you need and will take a picture for you and your friends . The atmosphere is giving luxurious vibe and has a beautiful top view and I will say that DJ has a good taste of music . This is worth it and I hope it got more recognition and popularity. Just WOW. It completes my Vietnam tour 🇻🇳🫶🏻
