quotes

Don’t leave Vietnam without trying bánh mỳ in Hoi An and Saigon. They’re completely different, and both unforgettable. In Hoi An, Bánh Mỳ Phượng was once crowned the best in Vietnam, but truthfully, almost any street stall here will impress you with its crispy, fresh bread and balanced fillings.

In Saigon, bánh mỳ takes on a richer, more indulgent twist, loaded with house-made pâté and butter, giving it a deep, savory flavor. Two cities, two styles, one delicious experience.

Day09

Cu Chi Tunnels and Ho Chi Minh City tour

This morning, travel about two hours from Ho Chi Minh City to explore the legendary Cu Chi Tunnels. Walk through restored passages, view recreations of daily life, and learn about the ingenuity of the Viet Minh and Viet Cong in a way that is engaging and suitable for all ages.

Return to Ho Chi Minh City to visit the French colonial Central Post Office, admire Notre Dame Cathedral, stroll along the lively Dong Khoi Street, and conclude with a reflective visit to the War Remnants Museum.
