Top attractions in Ho Chi Minh
Museum
Cu Chi Tunnel
Explore Cu Chi Tunnels, an intricate network of underground tunnels steeped in history, which played a vital role in the Vietnam War. Serving as a base for the Viet Cong troops, these tunnels span over 250 kilometers (155 miles) and include hidden entrances, living quarters, hospitals and storage facilities.
Situated in Cu Chi District, northwest of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, the Cu Chi Tunnels were built in the late 1940s during the first Indochina war against the French colonialists, and expanded during the Vietnam War. They were designed with hidden trapdoors, ventilation holes disguised as termite mounds and booby traps to evade enemy troop presence.

Beautifully decorated interior, decent food quality and very thoughtful & prompt service by the crew. One of my memorable highlights of the trip. It’s 2 hours long though that passed through the river and u-turn in front Landmark 81 before slowly cruising its way back to the port. The traffic gets congested quickly entering the port to pick up passengers after the cruise. Best to start book your return car ride when the ship is docked and make your way to the main road outside the entrance to prevent getting stuck inside the entrance.

Food was good for the price. it would be better if drink are inclusive with a bit of price increase. The performance was good and the service was top notch. Waitering staffs are very attentive and cleared the plates as soon we are done so that we can make space for new plates piled with food. The top deck for enjoying the scenery and view was good too. Relaxing enough in the night.

Had an amazing time! Started with the set menu I pre-booked while waiting for everyone to get onboard. I went solo and was no problem. I had a table in the middle of the front part of the ship. Once dinner was done, the ship started to move and came alive with live music. The city waterfront lights are so beautiful. Nit to be missed!

Had a great experience overall. Everything was well organized and smooth from start to finish. The service was reliable, and the experience met (and slightly exceeded) expectations. Good value for money and very convenient. Would definitely recommend to others and consider using this again in the future.

The Elite of Saigon gave me a very warm welcome, and easy check in. I was female solo traveller and during the check in they offered me a red rose and brought to me seat right in front of the Buffett and stage performance. They present me with complimentary crab and lobster entree, and then offered me a choice of complimentary mocktail, cocktail or ice cream. The Buffett started between 7-7:30, and the boat departed at 7:30 and cruise around the river for 2 hours. After finishing my meal I went to the rooftop deck to look at the sights around the city. I thought I had purchased a sight seeing boat but it turned out to be more entertaining and I really enjoyed it! Because of the New Years time the host presented fireworks right near the city and there were dancers. Everyone really enjoyed themselves, and I think there was a Vietnamese Boy Band on board as well! It was overall worth the money and I highly recommend The Elite of Saigon Cruise if you are in Ho Chi Minh City!

I recently had the pleasure of indulging in a seafood buffet 🦞 here in Vietnam, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The variety of fresh catches was simply astounding, from succulent grilled prawns to delicate sushi rolls 🍣. I particularly enjoyed the local specialties, which offered a unique taste of Vietnamese cuisine 🍜. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, with friendly staff ensuring a delightful dining experience. Overall, I highly recommend trying a seafood buffet here; you won't be disappointed! 🇻🇳
