This tour lasts 6 hours and will take you to several interesting destinations. The time in each destination can be flexible as per your request.
At 8.00, you will be greeted and picked up at your hotel’s lobby by a local tour guide. You will be transferred to the Marble Mountains by car.
Once you arrive at the mountains, you will be taken to the practice slope. At the practice slope, you will learn the basics of knot tying, harness wearing, hardware and proper rappelling techniques. If the guides are satisfied that you have geared down safely, you will head down the first of 2 possible rappels.
The first rappel is a short walk from the practice area and boasts a fantastic view of the ocean. This 22- meter line has great exposure, fantastic scenery and makes you feel like you are much higher than you actually are.
The second rappel is down into one of the caves at Marble Mountain that was used as a workshop and also as a hideout for Vietnamese military during the war. Get ready for a full Indiana Jones experience. This rappel is about 15 meters down.
Then you will have a picnic style lunch after both rappels have been done.
Following the morning adventure and a full lunch, you can recharge your energy to explore the other caves and temples in Marble Mountains.
After about 6 hours, the tour finishes and you will be transferred back to your hotel.
At 8.30am your tour guide and car will pick you up from your hotel and will start our tour of Ho Chi Minh City. You will get to know its history and culture by stopping at:
The Reunification Palace - on April 30th, 1975, what the Vietnamese refer to as the 'American War' officially ended when tank number 843 of the North Vietnamese Army crashed through the gates of what was, at the time, the residence of the President of the Republic of Vietnam
War Remnants Museum - formerly known as the Museum of American War Crimes is a poignant display of the futility of war. Some of the black and white photography in the 'Requiem' exhibit is particularly touching and is dedicated to both foreign and Vietnamese journalists and photographers who perished during the conflict.
Notre Dam Cathedral and General Post Office were built around 1877 and 1883 respectively. These two iconic buildings are fine examples of French colonial architecture. Remarkably every stone used in the building of the Notre Dam Cathedral was shipped from France to Vietnam. The Old Post Office is also the country's largest post office.
The Opera House, after the lunch at local restaurant, we take you to see Chinatown and the Chinese market Binh Tay. We then move on to Thien Hau Pagoda, a temple entered through an iron gate and crossing a small courtyard. The roof is decorated with delicately fashioned porcelain figurines expressing themes from Chinese religion and legends. Lanterns and wooden models of Chinese theaters hang over the entrance. Our final stop before taking you back to your hotel is Ben Thanh Market, one of Vietnams largest markets and a real heart beat of Ho Chi Minh culture.
At either 8am or 12:30pm your private tour guide and car will pick you up from your hotel and take you North West to the Cu Chi Tunnels which are 70kms away. This is an area where Vietnamese people proudly held their ground during the Vietnam war (in Vietnam it is known as The American War). Over 200kms of underground tunnels were made, the trip will help you understand the struggle the Vietnamese would have gone through on the frontline. It took an enormous amount of ingenuity, courage and imagination to match the enemy and these tunnels were a big part of the Vietnam War and ended being a resounding victory for the Cu Chi people.
The tunnel system, fortifications and trenches were a part of a soldiers life, you will see how they lived, the kitchens, store rooms, hospital, living quarters. You can crawl around parts of the tunnel yourself and watch a video of the history of the Vietnam War in this area.
We will then take you back to your hotel.
