Nothing beats exploring Ho Chi Minh City from its waterways.
Two standout experiences rise above the rest: a 3-hour dinner cruise on a modern yacht and a 2-day adventure combining Cu Chi Tunnels with the Mekong Floating Market.
We love the dinner cruise for its excellent food, comfortable setting, and illuminated city views.
The 2-day tour wins points for packing key sights into an efficient itinerary, complete with market visits and tunnel exploration.
Both tours offer good value and consistently earn strong reviews from our readers.
