Itinerary

Experience the best of southern Vietnam on this nine-day adventure from Ho Chi Minh City to the coastal retreat of Mui Ne. Start with a deep dive into Saigon’s storied past, from grand colonial architecture to poignant war history. Journey into the lush Mekong Delta, where boat rides, coconut workshops and local hospitality offer a taste of rural life. Then, slow things right down with five sun-soaked days in Mui Ne—perfect for beach lounging or casual exploring. With a mix of history, culture and relaxation, this tour has a bit of everything.

day 1 - Arrival in Ho Chi Minh City

Welcome to Ho Chi Minh City. Upon arrival at Tan Son Nhat International Airport, you will be met by your guide and driver for your transfer to the hotel. Formerly known as Saigon, this is Vietnam’s largest city – a bustling economic hub and cultural trendsetter that still preserves the traditions of an ancient culture.

day 2 - Highlights of Saigon, Half-Day Tour

Our morning begins at the Reunification Palace – the former residence of the President of South Vietnam – where you will learn about the events leading up to the fall of Saigon in 1975. We then visit the War Remnants Museum, established in September 1975, which houses a sobering collection of artefacts, photographs, military vehicles and aircraft documenting the conflict and its impact.

Our final stop is the Notre-Dame Cathedral, built between 1877 and 1883 using materials imported from France. This Neo-Romanesque landmark remains a key centre of Catholicism in Vietnam.

Note: The cathedral is currently under renovation – visits are from the outside only.

Continuing by boat, we disembark for a short walk to a family home to see how sleeping mats are woven by hand – and you may try weaving yourself.

Smooth, Scenic, and Superbly Organized I joined a 6-Day Marangu Route hike with Kilisa Tours, and the whole experience was seamless. The accommodations in the mountain huts were cozy, and the support staff made sure we were always comfortable. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the mountain s history and wildlife. Everything ran perfectly on schedule, and the company s attention to detail was impressive. I ve done many treks before, but Kilisa Tours stands out for their genuine care and world-class service. Couldn t have asked for more!
