Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before your trip.

Our Ho Chi Minh City tours cover much more than the city’s main landmarks. Depending on your itinerary, you can explore historic sites and lively markets, try local street food, cruise along the Saigon River, visit the historic Cu Chi Tunnels, or travel beyond the city to the Mekong Delta and other destinations in southern Vietnam.

A full-day tour is a good way to see the city’s main highlights, while two or three days give you more time for local food, neighborhood experiences and nearby excursions.
