Itinerary
07:30 – 08:00 Pick up at hotel or meeting point and depart to Reunification Palace which has stayed in the mind of many generations of not only Vietnamese but also foreigners. It is known as the famous historical witness which passed through the two fierce wars against the French and American colonists.
Continue with Notre Dame Cathedral and the historic Central Post Office, the other beautiful structures from the French Colonial times, all of them are the best things to do in Ho Chi Minh City. Unfortunately, the Notre Dame Cathedral have been being restored, so we just visit outside.
The Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh is a beautifully preserved remnant of French colonial times and perhaps the grandest post office in all of Southeast Asia.
The War Remnants Museum has remained the most visited museum in Ho Chi Minh City for years. With exhibitions and displays focusing on the Vietnam War, one of the most politically influential wars in modern world history, many visitors, especially those from Western countries, have flocked to the museum to learn more about how Vietnam managed to clinch a landslide victory over the US and the aftermath of this war.
13:00 Depart for Cu Chi tunnel, the trip will take approximately one and a half hours bus driving. Upon arrival, before exploring the tunnels, you will have some short introduction followed by introductory video about how the tunnels were constructed and how the people survived in the harsh conditions of the war time. Then, spend your time to explore the remaining area and tunnel systems which included the special constructed living areas with kitchens, bedrooms side by side with other martial facilities like storage, weapons factories, field hospitals, and command centers helping whoever lives inside the tunnels meet their basic needs. Besides, there are also many hidden t.rap doors and dangerous t.raps within the maze-like tunnels for security purpose during the war. Afterward, special tea and cassava (guerilla’s food during the war) will be served. Break time for relax. 17:30 Get on bus, come back Ho Chi Minh city around 19:00

GadT Travels made my Vietnam trip unforgettable! Our journey with GadT Travels through Ho Chi Minh City was enriched by a knowledgeable guide who provided insightful information especially at Cu Chi tunnels. The visit to Ba Na Hills was made smoother by the guide's expertise in navigating the crowds, ensuring we got the best out of the visit despite the bustling environment. The Coconut boat ride was serene, the Cooking class was so much fun. Highly recommend Gadt travel for an immersive and enjoyable experience at Vietnam 🇻🇳
