Itinerary

On a day trip, depart from The Central Post Office and go on an amazing adventure through Ho Chi Minh City on a double-decker bus. Travellers can listen to fascinating facts in a variety of languages, including Vietnamese, English, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, Spanish, Russian, and German, making the bus equivalent to a moving guide.

The hop-on, hop-off bus makes stops at important locations throughout the city, including the Saigon Zoo, the History Museum, the War Remnants Museum, and more. Pham Ngu Lao Street, Ben Thanh Market, Bitexco Financial Tower, Bach Dang Pier, Majestic Hotel, Independence Palace, and Notre Dame Cathedral are just a few of the famous locations that may be visited.

The tour's unique highlight is the inside look at Independence Palace, which provides insight into Vietnam's past. The best thing about this tour is that you can get on and off the bus whenever you choose, giving you the freedom to see the sights at your own speed. If you're a night owl, there's even a continuous night tour that highlights the city's attractions after dark, departing at 92-96 Nguyen Hue Street.

For a thrilling full-day excursion to the stunning Mekong Delta, get up early. The trip starts with a picturesque drive to My Tho, where you can see verdant rice fields on both sides of the road. The lovely Vinh Trang Pagoda, the first destination, creates a calm atmosphere for the day.

You will join a motorised boat for a fun river trip once you get at the pier. You pass through quaint fishing villages, serene fruit orchards, and stilt cottages on this river trip. A quick walk leads to local homes and pomelo gardens after you reach Thoi Son islet, also called Tortoise islet. Remember to take keepsake pictures of these times.

A visit to a bee farm, where you can enjoy complimentary tropical fruits and natural lemon honey tea, is the next stop on the tour. You will be exposed to the heartfelt melodies of Southern Vietnamese folk music sung by locals as you savour these treats. After that, a rowing boat takes you leisurely along picturesque canals with views of the rural landscapes and water-coconut palm lines on either side.

The trip returns to Ben Tre Province in the afternoon, following the Tien River. At Tan Thach Commune, you can tour a rice paper factory and a coconut candy factory. Stop by a restaurant for a delectable Vietnamese lunch and observe the residents going about their daily lives. There are several possibilities, such as taking a bike trip around the village, relaxing on hammocks, walking on a "monkey bridge," or trying crocodile fishing.

A day full of cultural exploration and breathtaking scenery will come to an end when the boat safely returns you to My Tho and a bus transports you back to the starting point in Ho Chi Minh City.
