Southern Vietnam Journey 5 Days

Your second day on Vietnam trip promises a rich tapestry of history and culture. Begin the morning with a visit to the iconic Independence Palace, also known as the Reunification Palace. Dive into the city's French Colonial heritage as you explore the Notre Dame Cathedral and the historic Central Post Office. Then, immerse yourself in the poignant history of the Indochina wars at the War Remnants Museum. 

Refuel with a savory lunch at a local restaurant.

Now, gear up for the next Vietnam tours from Ho Chi Minh City to Cu Chi Tunnels. A scenic bus ride lasting approximately one and a half hours brings you to this historical site. After a brief introduction, explore the living quarters, kitchens, bedrooms, and martial facilities within the tunnels, witnessing the resilience of those who called it home. Uncover secret trap doors and wartime security measures. Conclude this historical Ho Chi Minh city tour with a unique tasting experience of special tea and cassava, the guerilla's sustenance.

For those seeking extra adrenaline, try your hand at real shooting guns during the break (additional cost). Return to Saigon, marking the end of an enriching day.
