This This is an ideal tour to fully experience Vietnam, plus enjoy lunch by the pool. Our guide aka Joseph ? (Tour date:17.9.19) organised our group well. We visited Notre dame Cathedral but could not go in as its being restored. However the Post Office across the road was another historic building.
The highlights of the tour were the Palace, War remnants Museum and the tunnels at Cu Chi.

You will see everything you need in one day. Bring extra clothes as you will sweat quite heavily. Tour guide and bus is good. The attractions are average, but there is nothing else to see in Ho Chi Minh.

This tour was awesome. My sister and I were first time travellers to Vietnam, and this tour did not disappoint us at all!
Our Tour guide, Tony, was great! Really informative and had great English and was always up for a laugh.
Honestly, was the best way to find out more about the Vietnam War from both sides aspects. It was moving, to say the least. The pictures on the 1st floor of the War Memorial are quite confronting, so just be aware.
We went to a Coffee tasting, Weasel Coffee. I liked it and I'm not an espresso drinker by any means. And lunch was good too. Very tasty.
The tunnels..... HOLY WOW! There's a shooting range within the tunnels grounds, just a forewarning for those who do have any PTSD or other hyperawarenesses. Just thought I'd say something as it wasn't pointed out till we were there, that there is a firing range.
But, all in all. It was an awesome day.
