ROCS Holidays - Vietnam Private Tour 1

tunnels’ history, life in the tunnels as well as the tenacity and resourcefulness of the Vietnamese during combat. Drive back to the town after exploring the tunnel complex. This afternoon, wind your way to one of the most significant historical sites of the city, the Reunification Palace (exterior view only) which is former Residence of the Indochina Governor-General and later of the President of the Republic of Southern Vietnam until the down fall on April 30, 1975. Then head across the square to the Central Post Office, designed by the French architect, Gustav Eiffel, before he had risen to fame for the Eiffel Tower. Opt to wander along Nguyen Hue street, a vibrant pedestrian boulevard in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, known for its lively atmosphere, modern buildings, and stunning views of the iconic city hall. Ho Chi Minh City Hall, officially known as the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Building, is a striking colonial-era landmark built in the early 1900s. Conclude your visit to the bustling Ben Thanh Market to enjoy shopping and discover your bargaining power and come away with unusual items that will always remind you of this exciting day. This evening, pick up from the hotel and drive to the River City Pier from where we set sail on one of the “must do” gourmand experiences, dining experience along Saigon River. Navigate the sights and sounds of the bustling waterways and observe the architectural spotlight constructions and the city nightlife from the boat while enjoying your delicious authentic Vietnamese or Asian food. After the dinner, enjoy the cool breeze and immerse fresh air on the sundeck amid Saigon’s impressive scenery by night. DAY 16 - MEKONG DELTA (B,L) The Mekong Delta, “the rice bowl of Vietnam”, is a highly fertile plain with its myriad waterways, lush and green paddy fields, tropical fruit orchards, and fish farms. Rural life here remains in many ways similar to how it was lived far back in the past. Geographically featured as the gateway to the Delta, Ben Tre is an ideal gem for travelers who are seeking a glimpse of agrarian river life. This morning, depart for

a 2-hour drive from downtown Ho Chi Minh City to Ben Tre province. Take in the lush surroundings of rice paddies and fruit farms alongside the highway as you leave behind the high-energy city. Arriving at the waterfront pier, set off for a slow journey along the Mekong River on the charming Apricot boat, a newly tradition-inspired river barge that features the combination of modernity and tastefully traditional riverboat style. Gain a glimpse at countryside scenery and river life while enjoying seasonal tropical fruits and local specialties. Among the several water coconuts growing zones, Ben Tre is well-known for its extensive plantations that stretch along the canal and riverbanks. As part of the shore excursion, you will first visit a local home to sip honey tea and taste water coconut while taking in the tranquil rural atmosphere. Stop for a visit at the family-run business where you learn how the coconuts are processed and then enjoy country hospitality as you sip a cup of honey tea and taste the sweet flavor of coconut candy in a rustic yet cozy atmosphere. Tour a hidden island by traditional tuk-tuk or bicycle, passing through sleeping village, local cottage industries, canals, and fruitful orchards. Locals will often friendly greet you with a hello or “xin chao” as you pass by. Relax while discovering more of the Delta from a small rowing sampan as you are paddled slowly through the maze of small canals covered by water coconut trees. Cap off your memorable trip by a tasty lunch with Mekong Delta specialties at the peaceful Apricot Riverside restaurant. After lunch, opt to relax in a hammock, enjoying the cool breeze from Mekong Delta before heading back to Ho Chi Minh City. DAY 17 - HO CHI MINH (B) Spend your morning at leisure, relaxing or exploring at your own pace. At the scheduled time, our guide will meet you at your hotel and transfer you to Tan Son Nhat Airport for your departure flight home.
