Why we love it?

This full-day tour in Ho Chi Minh City offers visits to key historical sites, including the Independence Palace, once the political and military center of South Vietnam, and the War Remnants Museum, where photographs and artifacts reveal the impact of the Vietnam War. You will also explore the Hầm Vũ Khí Bí Mật Secret Weapon Cellar, a hidden site that once stored Viet Cong weapons, and the extensive Cu Chi Tunnel network used during the war. After lunch, the tour continues to these significant locations with an English-speaking guide and entrance tickets included. In the evening, there is an optional upgrade to join a two-hour Saigon River dinner cruise departing from Saigon Waterbus Bạch Đằng pier, allowing you to experience the city’s vibrant nightscape while enjoying a Vietnamese set menu or buffet. Admission is not included for the Independence Palace, War Remnants Museum, Secret Weapon Cellar, Cu Chi Tunnel, or the Saigon Waterbus Bạch Đằng, so visits are focused on external exploration and guided commentary. This tour suits travelers interested in Vietnam’s history and wartime heritage, combined with a scenic evening on the river.
