DAY SEVEN:
HO CHI MINH CITY DAY TOUR
Ho Chi Minh City, formerly named Saigon, is the largest city in Vietnam. It was once known as Prey Nokor, an important Khmer sea port prior to annexation by the Vietnamese in the 17th century. Under the name Saigon, it was the capital of the French colony of Cochin-china and later of the independent state of South Vietnam from 1955 to 1975. In 1976, Saigon merged with the surrounding Gia Định Province and was officially renamed Hồ Chí Minh City after Hồ Chí Minh (although the name Sài Gòn is still commonly used.)
I have planned the tour for the day as follows;
0800H-1430H: cu chi tunnel half day tour
1430H-1700H: diy city tour
1700H-1900H: ben thanh market
ben dinh cu chi tunnel
ho chi minh city other famous landmarks
ho chi minh city departure at night
