Tour Overview
While Ho Chi Minh City certainly dominates Southern Vietnam, there is so much more to see and do besides the exciting metropolis. On this 3 day tour of the region, we’ll take you to all the “must see’s” and introduce you to the stunning variety and diversity of the country. From walking the streets of Saigon to crawling through the claustrophobic tunnels of Cu Chi and relaxing on the peaceful waters of the Mekong Delta, this tour will appeal to travelers of any inclination.
