Cu Chi Tunnels

You leave the city behind as you head out to Cu Chi and the scenery changes to the rural - rice paddies, villagers drying noodles by the side of the road and monkey bridges over small waterways. It takes over an hour to reach Cu Chi and your guide will use the time to explain the Vietnamese version of history behind both the 'American' and 'French' wars. Questions will be answered and the guide will bring the focus to the ingenuity of the Cu Chi residents. The famous Cu Chi Tunnels is made up of an incredible underground network, constructed by Vietnamese resistance fighters - the Viet Cong. After watching a standard Government-produced introductory video, the visit starts at the Ben Dinh or Ben Duoc sections of the tunnel. Here you try imagine what it was like to be a guerrilla soldier, equipped with a Russian Carbine rifle. These and some AK 47's are kept on display. You have the opportunity to try squeeze through sections of the tunnels, but this is only possible for those who do not suffer with claustrophobia. The tunnels were deliberately kept small - Vietnamese size - to make it difficult for considerably larger Westerners to infiltrate. It is by no means compulsory to venture down, although many do try (perhaps half?). Your local guide will also demonstrate some gruesome booby traps, used by the Viet Cong to entrap unfortunate G.Is.

Evening Street Food Walking Tour of Saigon

This evening meet with a passionate foodie and walk through hidden corners of the city to discover the very best of Saigon's local food scene. Start with a stroll through a public park where locals gather after work. See friends gossiping over an evening snack, watch groups of dancers getting their daily exercise and enjoy the lively atmosphere. Continue on foot to a small alleyway where, amid houses and shops, a popular local street restaurant is serving up the city’s best banh xeo. Grab a stool and tuck into a plate of this delicious crispy pancake. Watch the chefs as they whip up plate after plate, learning the secrets of this southern delicacy. Carry on to Tan Dinh Market. Tucked away is an unassuming stall selling a delicious local soup. While slurping up the flavourful broth, the guide will explain the origins of this Chinese-inspired dish. Next on the foodie tour of Ho Chi Minh City is a short walk to another popular restaurant. Like most street stalls in Vietnam, this shop serves only one item. Enjoy a serving of com suon non nuong muoi ot, a dish consisting of rice and pork ribs, a speciality of Ho Chi Minh City. Having sampled the savoury side of the city, cross a busy city intersection (an adventure in itself) to a typical Vietnamese café and indulge in a sweet treat. Round out the evening with a stop at a live music café. Rub elbows with the locals while listening to Vietnamese music then return to the hotel full of memories of this authentic night out.

Cai Be & The Mekong Delta

With traditional wooden boats, plenty of bustling local industry, vast emerald rice fields and lush back-waterways - Cai Be is an idyllic spot within the Mekong Delta. After a two hour drive from Saigon, you will have the opportunity to cruise the many tributaries of the Mekong River, spending time in tropical fruit gardens as well as visiting cottage industries making 'pop' rice. As all trips to the Mekong Delta should, you begin with a boat trip. This is then followed by a visit to some home factories that produce rice paste, rice popcorn and coconut candy. Continue to several evergreen islands set among the many branches of the Mekong River, through a large network of meandering tributaries, crisscrossed with countless arroyos. Getting off your boat, it takes just 10 minutes to walk through a local village (with plentiful fruit gardens) before arriving at a preserved 'Mandarin' house. Built centuries ago, at least four generations of the same family have lived here. Mrs. Kiet, the current owner of the house will serve you an authentic Vietnamese lunch. Take a stroll back to a local rowing boat waiting to take you back through the small canals, before returning to Cai Be and ultimately back to Saigon by road.

Saigon City Tour (Full Day)

We start in Cholon, the city's Chinatown district, visiting busy markets and tightly-packed shops. Its an area best to explore in the early mornings. Also in Cholon is the Cantonese Thien Hau Pagoda - dedicated to the goddess of the sea. Next you head to the FITO Museum, Vietnam's first traditional medicine museum displaying an amazing collection of 3,000 items relevant to the development of traditional Vietnamese medicine, including indigenous herbs. It's then back into District 1, to visit Ben Thanh Market where an over-whelming display of fresh produce, household goods and tourist trinkets are on display. Plenty if time is put aside to simply stroll through the market, with your guide providing a commentary and helping you haggle when required. Options for a fresh local lunch are abundant in the streets surrounding the market - your guide will have many suggestions and recommendations. In the afternoon visit the War Remnants Museum and the History Museum (closed on Mondays) and the former Presidential Palace - now re-named the Reunification Palace. From here stroll (although your vehicle will be available at all times) to the principal sights of colonial Saigon: the Old Saigon Post Office, Dong Khoi Street (formerly Rue Catinat), The Continental Hotel, Opera House and City Hall. This is your day. The guide will adapt and manoeuvre the itinerary to match your interests and follow the pace you choose to set.

Craft Beer Tasting in Saigon by Vespa

What better way to delve into the burgeoning craft beer scene of Saigon than to zoom around the city on the back of a Vespa, just like the locals do? Get a taste of the wide variety of locally produced beers, with something for everyone in a range of popular evening haunts. Try Californian-style pale ales, Belgian Trappist-inspired brews, and freshly tapped drinks with uniquely Vietnamese flavours... anyone for salted dragon-fruit or jasmine-infused bia? As well as getting to enjoy the best beers and bars that Saigon has to offer, your drinks will be paired with elaborate and delicious food, including gourmet tapas and Vietnamese takes on classic pub bites. After an incredible night out in this bustling metropolis, rubbing elbows with the locals, you will be dropped back to your hotel by your designated Vespa driver and guide. Dzô! (Cheers!)
