Verified PurchaseBy Priya Patel April 15, 2026 Great tour!A short but sweet introduction to southern Vietnam! This 4-day tour was perfectly packed for someone like me with limited time. Day one was easy — just a smooth airport pickup and a relaxing evening to explore Saigon on my own. The Cu Chi Tunnels on day two were absolutely fascinating; crawling through those tiny underground passages really makes you appreciate the resilience and ingenuity of the Vietnamese people. The afternoon city tour was well-paced, with great photo stops at the Reunification Palace, Notre Dame Cathedral, and the beautiful Central Post Office. Visiting the Chinatown market and Thien Hau Temple added a lovely cultural touch. Day three was the highlight for me — the Mekong Princess Day Cruise felt so peaceful and elegant. Gliding through the narrow canals, watching local life unfold along the riverbanks, and having lunch at that gorgeous colonial villa in the middle of a tropical garden was simply dreamy. Everything ran like clockwork, the guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and the food was delicious. For a quick getaway that packs in history, culture, and natural beauty, this tour is a winner. I'll definitely be back for a longer trip next time!Date of Experience: April 09, 2026
