Ho Chi Minh City Escape

Day 1: Ho Chi Minh City   (-/-/D)

Begin your exploration of Ho Chi Minh City with a walking tour of the historical heart and colonial area.  Stop at the photogenic Old Saigon Post Office, Dong Khoi Street (formerly known as Rue Catinat), Ben Thanh Market, Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica,  City Hall, and of course, the Opera House. On either side of the Opera House you will see Graham Greene’s favourite haunt of the Hotel Continental as well as the Hotel Caravelle, a favorite of correspondents during the American-Vietnam War.

Visit the Craig Thomas Gallery or San Art to discover modern and contemporary art mixed with Vietnamese motifs before boarding the Bonsai River Cruise to bask in sunset views and delicious, freshly cooked cuisine while dance performances and music play throughout the night.

Day 2: Ho Chi Minh City (B/L/-)

After breakfast, journey 1.5 hours north of Ho Chi Minh City to experience one of the most powerful symbols of the city and its recent history, the Cu Chi Tunnels. Return to the city center to enjoy a Southern-styled lunch and then visit the War Remnants Museum with a quick stop at the former Presidential Palace, which can be viewed from the outside only.

Enjoy some time in the afternoon to peruse the many charming boutiques and shops on Dong Khoi Street before attending the contemporary and incredible A O Show, Saigon’s must-see cultural performance.

Day 3: Ho Chi Minh City – Ben Tre- Ho Chi Minh City (B/L/-)

Settle in for a 2-hour car ride this morning to the Mekong River Delta’s quiet town of Ben Tre and board your day cruise to visit the Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Turtle Islands. Stop at local factories specializing in making coconut candy and other oddities before sampling the juicy fruits from a local orchard at a fruit tasting.  Visit local gardens for a honey tasting before hopping into a traditional Vietnamese boat called a sampan to explore the Mekong River canals and tributaries framed by large palm trees.

Disembark from your day-cruise and return by car to Ho Chi Minh City via a stop in My Tho for lunch and a visit Vinh Trang Pagoda.
