Let Me Show You Vietnam

Ho Chi Minh City

Commonly known as "Saigon", Ho Chi Minh City is a vibrant city with its old and new architecture.  A home to 10 million citizens and 7 million scooters, this city offers many interesting sites.  A typical day tour includes exploring small alleys and local fresh markets, and experiencing the lives of the people.  A visit to the Dong Khoi area is a must.  This area includes the General Post Office, Notre Dame Cathedral, the former CIA headquarters, the Rex Hotel, and City Hall.  We will also visit Thien Hau Pagoda in Chinatown.  A visit to Ho Chi Minh city may not be complete without a visit to the War Remnants Museum.  If you are up to a challenge, we can take a trishaw ride around the city along the busy city roads.

Cu Chi Tunnels

About 90 minutes away from Ho Chi Minh City are the Cu Chi Tunnels, famous for the elaborate tunnel systems during the Vietnam War.  You will see booby traps and trapdoors and even experience walking through the cramped and narrow passageways.  There are now reconstructed chambers for you to see, as it was in the time of war.  This trip to Cu Chi Tunnels will take half a day.

Mekong Delta 

For me, the Mekong Delta is paradise!  There are so many colors from the vast fields, orchards, canals, and people.  This intricate region is like a busy city with its many activities, like the ever calm but vibrant floating markets.  We will travel by boat while enjoying a sip of Vietnamese coffee and savoring juicy pineapple.  We will see the rice wrapper making process and blend into the beautiful nature of the Mekong Delta.  If you have time for an extra night or two, I will organize a homestay experience for you and we will even travel further and visit other interesting towns.

Southern Central Vietnam

Further afield from Ho Chi Minh City, we can visit a few famous locations like Dalat, which is situated 1,500 meters above sea level, with fresh cool air and see the beautiful scenery.  Mui Ne has one of the best beaches in Vietnam with its golden sand dunes. Nha Trang is also famous for its beaches and hot springs. These trips will allow you to see the more peaceful side of Vietnam.
