Full Day Tour Explore Ho Chi Minh CityHo Chi Minh City (formerly called Saigon), the Economic Capital of Vietnam, has been dynamically developing and keeping booming with modern products and services. Yet its shaded boulevards, pavement cafes and French-styled buildings help it to retain a bygone colonial atmosphere. This whole-day tour will allow tourists to fully explore its historic side throughout colonial structures, its cultural side throughout the biggest pagodas and its busy living and trading rhythm in local markets. Itinerary Ho Chi Minh City tour full day: 08.00 - 08.30 am: Pick up at your hotel. We will visit the War Crime Museum (This museum tells the story of the war from the Vietnamese perspective. Exhibits include photographs, machinery, and weapons that depict the harsh realities of war).
