Not only does this trip include must-see sites like those on other Ho Chi Minh City day tours from the cruise port, but it also lets you taste the real flavor by sampling a hot bowl of Pho, a traditional Vietnamese dish. Wander in Ben Thanh Market, burn incense in Thien Hau Temple, one-minute silence in War Remnants Museum, and relax with a cool drink in the rooftop bar.
From Phu My port, hop on a 2-hour scenic drive to the city center. Your guide and driver transfer you to the first spot, Thien Hau Temple. Standing in the liveliest area of Ho Chi Minh City, Chinatown, the pagoda delivers the unique religious practices dedicated to the Chinese Sea Goddess Mazu. Burn incense and soak in the tranquil space.
Continue on to Ben Thanh Market, the largest and most vibrant shopping hub in the city, where they sell millions of products from a pack of light snacks to Vietnamese traditional dresses made from premium silk.
The next stop is a lacquerware workshop. With the hands of local artisans, every piece of art is crafted delicately, taking many forms such as decorations, accessories, pottery, paintings, and more. Pick up some beautiful products as souvenirs to bring home.
Next, visit the War Remnants Museum. The museum is home to thousands of objects, items, weapons, artifacts, letters, and documents used in the Vietnam War. Keep a silent moment while walking inside and look directly at history. Admire how unbeatable Vietnamese soldiers fought against strong enemies.
Then enjoy a delicious bowl of Pho with a dish of spring rolls, traditional Vietnamese dishes. On the way to the next places, photo stops at many iconic landmarks such as Independence Palace, General Post Office, Opera House, and Le Loi Avenue. Enjoy a cup of Vietnamese coffee.
The trip ends when the driver drops you off at the port.
