Air-conditioned private vehicle
Comfortable car providing urban transfers and the journey to and from Cu Chi.

This private day trip invites you to discover the essentials of the southern metropolis alongside one of Vietnam's most iconic historical sites. From Saigon's French colonial architecture to the impressive underground galleries of Cu Chi, experience a captivating journey through the country's contemporary history.
Accompanied by an enthusiastic French-speaking guide, explore the city's foremost landmarks — the Central Post Office designed by Gustave Eiffel, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and the Reunification Palace — before delving into the resilience of the resistance fighters deep within the forest of Cu Chi.
Pick-up between 08:00 and 08:30 by your French-speaking guide at your hotel in central Ho Chi Minh City. Start the morning with an architectural orientation tour through colonial Saigon: visit the famous Central Post Office with its majestic arched metal roof designed by Gustave Eiffel, and admire the exterior of Notre-Dame Cathedral.
Pass by the impressive People's Committee Building (the historic City Hall), a French colonial gem showcasing elegant moldings. Next, proceed to the War Remnants Museum for a moving memorial visit chronicling 20th-century history through an extensive photographic collection. Free time for lunch at your leisure.
In the afternoon, travel west toward the rural district of Cu Chi (approx. 1.5 hours drive). Discover the immense network of underground galleries and narrow crawlspaces dug by hand by guerrilla fighters, stretching over 200 kilometers. Observe meeting rooms, ingenious smokeless kitchens, and field infirmaries. Those who wish can crawl through an enlarged section of tunnel to experience the living conditions of the era. Sample boiled cassava with sesame salt before driving back to Saigon in the late afternoon for drop-off at your hotel.

Travel Log
Selected moments to experience the landscapes, encounters, and rhythm of this itinerary.

Originaire de Nam Dinh, berceau de traditions au cœur du delta du fleuve Rouge, j’ai grandi avec un amour viscéral pour le Vietnam : pour la poésie de ses paysages — des pitons karstiques du Nord aux méandres fertiles du Mékong —, mais surtout pour l’infinie bonté, le sourire et la résilience de son peuple.
Du souffle majestueux des pitons calcaires du Tonkin à la douceur nonchalante des arroyos du Mékong, le Vietnam est une terre de contrastes poétiques. Mon bonheur est de vous ouvrir les portes de nos adresses confidentielles et de dessiner pour vous un itinéraire fluide, vivant et profondément humain.
