After being collected from your hotel lobby, your tour will begin with a visit to the most famous cathedral in Ho Chi Minh City, which was built 100% from materials from France. Afterwards, you will visit a post office where you will meet a 90-year old man who is the last hand-written letter-writer in Vietnam. Following this, you will experience the War Remnant Museum. Vietnam is a country that has experienced a lot of war, and at this museum you will hear some of the unknown stories behind the wars in Vietnam.

Following this museum experience, you will visit the Thich Quang Duc Monument, a tribute to the famous monk who burnt himself to protest against the southern government in 1963.
