Despite its modern appearance and governance, Ho Chi Minh City has roots stretching back to ancient Vietnam and the natural and architectural beauty that bloomed forth during this time. This tour of southern Vietnam’s highlights opens the window onto the bizarre, historical and naturally-blessed of Ho Chi Minh City’s neighbouring areas.
As a Vietnam family Tour, we offer a range of activities attractive to all ages. A thorough tour of Ho Chi Minh City will introduce us to the history and splendid construction of the old capital of South Vietnam, while we can explore one of the most impressive feats of wartime engineering just outside, at the Cu Chi Tunnels. The colourful and eccentric temple of Cao Dai provides much intrigue, while the evocative Mekong Delta to the south provides an image of perfect-picture tropics and friendly, smiling locals.
