Overview

Southern Vietnam and Siem Reap are two captivating destinations that offer a rich blend of culture, history, and natural beauty, ideal for travelers seeking both adventure and insight into Southeast Asia’s heritage.

Southern Vietnam is a vibrant region, known for its bustling cities, serene waterways, and lush landscapes. Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), the largest city in Vietnam, is a dynamic hub full of energy and historical significance. Visitors can explore its mix of modern skyscrapers, French colonial architecture, and historic sites such as the War Remnants Museum and the Cu Chi Tunnels, which offer a glimpse into the country’s turbulent past. The Mekong Delta, just south of the city, is a unique and tranquil landscape of winding rivers, floating markets, and traditional villages. Cruising along the Mekong’s waterways provides a peaceful escape and a chance to witness the rural lifestyle, while savoring local delicacies like fresh seafood and tropical fruits.

Day 1

SAIGON ARRIVAL (NO MEAL)

Arrive in Saigon City, welcome by our guide and transfer to hotel for check in.

Ho Chi Minh City formerly named Saigon is the largest city and economic center of Vietnam always bustled with activities of modern life. It is where businesses converge and shoppers indulge themselves into unlimited choices. However the city also carries with it a rich historical legacy in contrast with its dazzling glamor.

Afternoon, take a half-day city tour to visit outside of Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica (is renovating until 2023), a neo-Roman cathedral built by the colonial French with materials entirely imported from Marseilles, Saigon Central Post Office, which was designed and constructed in the early 20th Century by the famous French architect Gustave Eiffel. Last but not least, we will visit Cho Lon area or the city’s China Town and the Jade Emperor Temple (Phuoc Hai), a rare Taoist structure in Vietnam built by the Cantonese community in the area in 1909.

Day 2

SAIGON FULL DAY CU CHI TUNNEL AND CITY TOUR

Morning, take a half-day tour to the Cu Chi Tunnels, 75 km Northwest of downtown Ho Chi Minh City, which were once a major underground hideout and resistance base of Viet Cong forces during the two wars against the French and later on Americans. The tunnels, entirely hand-dug, formed a highly intricate network of interlinked multilevel passageways at times stretched as far as the Cambodian border and totaling over 120 km in length. Its complexity was beyond imagination containing meeting rooms, kitchens, wells, clinics, schools, depots, trenches and emergency exits all aimed for guerrilla warfare. The tunnels

were deep and strong enough to withstand destructive bombings and self-contained enough to outlast prolonged sieges. Back to Ho Chi Minh City and spend time at leisure.

Afternoon, take a half-day city tour to visit the War Remnants Museum, which features an extensive collection of exhibits including weaponry, photos and documentation on Vietnam’s wars with the French and Americans. Then, you have free time to go shopping at Ben Thanh Market
