Ho Chi Minh City Tour Full Day

Ho Chí Minh City (formerly Saigon) has long been a hotbed of activity, but it only recently became the overcrowded powerhouse that it is today. The French made it the capital of colonial Indochine, endowing it with wide boulevards and grand architecture. During the American War, the city served as headquarters for US forces and international journalists, many of whom were captivated by its exotic atmosphere. Today, Ho Chí Minh City is the country’s largest and most populous city, and it remains on the cusp of all things new and en vogue. Because 30 years after the end of the Vietnam War, Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) is finally growing up. With a prettified, gentrifying downtown, an array of international hotels and now direct flights from the United States via United, it has never been easier to visit. What's more - and this may shock anyone who was mobbed by postcard vendors or stalked by optimistic cyclo drivers back in the mid-90's - there has been an overall relaxing of the city's aggressively capitalist nature. Highlight:  Visit of the city’s main shrines and museums  Enjoy authentic Vietnamese market atmosphere at Ben Thanh Market  Witness the major sights of colonial Hochiminh city Price: 18 usd/ Join tour/ 1 pax
