The journey

The same city and the same delta as our family Saigon trip, entered from the water. Arrival night is dinner moving up the Saigon River; the tunnels take a morning and the afternoon after them is deliberately unbooked; the delta takes the whole of day three. The War Remnants Museum sits on the itinerary as a choice rather than a fixture, which is the honest way to put a war museum in a honeymoon.

What stands out

  • Dinner cruise on the Saigon River on arrival night
  • A full day in the Mekong Delta at My Tho and Ben Tre
  • The Cu Chi tunnels in a morning, and an afternoon with nothing in it
  • The AO Show at the Saigon Opera House, quoted for your dates if you want it

Day by day

How the 4 days actually run.

  1. Day 01

    Ho Chi Minh City

    Arrive, transfer and check in. In the evening, a dinner cruise up the Saigon River with the District 1 skyline going past.

    Ho Chi Minh City

  2. Day 02

    Cu Chi

    Out to the Cu Chi tunnels for the morning. The afternoon is deliberately unbooked — a Saigon half-day is there if you want it, and it takes in the War Remnants Museum.

  3. Day 03

    Mekong Delta

    South to My Tho and Ben Tre for the day — the main river by boat, sampans through the narrow channels, coconut workshops, the orchards and lunch. Back in the city by evening.

  4. Day 04

    Departure

    Nothing is scheduled. Breakfast, then the airport when you are ready.

What's included

  • 3 nights in a 4★ hotel in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, with breakfast
  • Saigon River dinner cruise on arrival night, with dinner aboard, on a sharing basis
  • Cu Chi tunnels half-day with an English-speaking guide
  • Saigon city half-day, including entry to the War Remnants Museum on the afternoon you use it
  • Mekong Delta full day to My Tho and Ben Tre, with a set lunch, on a sharing basis
  • All airport and hotel transfers
  • Private air-conditioned car with an English-speaking driver on the city days
  • Entrance fees wherever applicable

What's not

  • The AO Show at the Saigon Opera House — quoted separately, seats by category
  • A private boat for the river dinner cruise, in place of the sharing basis — quotable on request
  • The shooting range at Cu Chi, charged per round on the spot
  • Drinks and anything beyond the set menu at the Mekong lunch stop
  • International flights
  • Visa fees and processing
  • Travel insurance
  • Meals not named in the itinerary
  • Personal expenses, tips and porterage

  • Anything not listed under Inclusions
  • Land only · per person · twin share
  • Minimum 2 travellers
  • Rates are subject to availability and confirmation at the time of booking
  • Indian passport holders require a visa for Vietnam — there is no visa-free entry. The e-visa covers up to 90 days, single or multiple entry, and is applied for online; we file it for you and the fee is not inside the price shown
  • Vietnam's domestic flight baggage allowance is lower than your international ticket — we tell you the limit for your routing before you pack
  • The river dinner cruise runs on a sharing basis with a set menu and sails whatever the evening looks like — a private boat is quotable on request
  • The Mekong day is a long one and runs on a sharing basis — out around 08:00, back around 18:00, with a set lunch. A private car and boat is quotable on request
  • The AO Show is dark on some nights and sells out on the good ones. We check your dates and quote it separately — we do not hold seats for it
