Itinerary

1. Mekong River Tours [Asiana Link Travel]
Saigon as the city is still frequently referred to be Vietnam’s largest city. It is a fast-paced city full of contrasts as street vendors selling fruit and vegetables can be seen next to glitzy western-style bars and boutiques. Saigon’s history is only 300 years old. In 1859 the city was captured by the French and became the capital of Indochina. From 1956 until its dramatic demise in April 1975 it was the capital of the US-backed Republic of Vietnam. This FULL day city tour unravels Saigon’s turbulent past and also provides a glimpse into the fascinating variety the city has to offer.
2. Phố Tau Sai Gon (Chợ Lớn Quận 5)
Experience the heritage of Sài Gòn from the unique vantage point of a traditional cyclo. Following a convenient hotel pick-up, you’ll enjoy a curated hour-long journey through the bustling streets of Chinatown. Discover the soul of the district as we visit the following historic attractions:

Duration: 45 mins
6. War Remnants Museum
War Remnants Museum: Formerly known as the Museum of American War Crimes, this is a poignant display of the futility of war. Some of the black and white photography in the ‘Requiem’ exhibit is particularly touching, dedicated to both foreign and Vietnamese journalists and photographers who perished during the conflict. The courtyard outside contains the spoils of war, namely rusting jets, tanks and cannons captured from the American military machine.
