Day 2: Ho Chi Minh City Tour (B, L)
Saigon, as the city is still frequently referred to, is Vietnam’s largest city with a population in excess of 9 million. Saigon’s history is only 300 years old, less than a third of that of the capital, Hanoi. In 1859, the city was captured by the French and became the capital of Cochinchina. From 1956 until its dramatic demise in April 1975, Saigon was the capital of the US-backed Republic of Vietnam.
Today, Ho Chi Minh City is very much the heart of Vietnamese businesses and entrepreneurs. The city’s skyline is rapidly changing, reflecting the sharp influx of foreign trade within the last decade. And yet the city still retains its connections to the past, particularly in Cho Lon, the city’s Chinatown. Here dozens of elegant temples and pagodas can be seen. The French left their mark here – as the city has many street cafes and patisseries where fresh croissants can be enjoyed with a cup of coffee.
This city tour unravels HCMC’s turbulent past and also provides a glimpse into the fascinating variety the city has to offer. The tour is split into a morning and afternoon schedule, with a tasty lunch in between!

The district is home to the city’s 400,000 Chinese and has many beautiful temples and pagodas. And then, we visit Ben Thanh market, which is very popular with tourists, primarily due to its central location before transferring back to the hotel. Overnight in Ho Chi Minh city.
