Cu Chi Tunnels - If you are in Ho Chi Minh- you may like to try the tour for Cu Chi Tunnels as this is a very historical sight during the Vietnam war.
I was happy with Rio. He is a good tour guide in Cu Chi Tunnels but the tour guide I had with the City tour was a lazy one. I cannot recommend you any tour agency because I did not like mine. It was too costly. I heard from others, they pay only Dong 280K instead of Dong 540 for mine.
9. TAXI AND TRANSPORTATION AROUND THE CITY
My best recommendation is to download the "GRAB APP". It is common to use this grab app in the city. Because the normal Taxi is kind of expensive.
Grab motorbike I paid a few times for only 10 thousand dongs per trip. Please give a little more if you can.
(This is Ben Than Market facing A&EM Hotel.
I stayed at District 1. Mostly likely convenient to walk around.
10. PLACES THAT I WAS EATING FINE & NOT SO FINE DINING
STREET FOOD MARKET - is where most tourists go. It is the place to meet new people in this area. Aside from food locals and international, the drinks like beer cost you Vietnam Dong 25,000.00
Pizza 4P's - Located along the street where Street food market is ( DISTRICT 1). Right at the junction. Look on your right corner if you come from the main road. You will notice it as many people will be waiting in line by the entrance near the roadside to get their table. This place accommodates fine and not fine dining though. Great service and good food.
THE DECK - The Deck is far out from District 1. About 20 to 30 minutes by taxi - depending on the traffic and time you go.
The Deck is located along the Saigon River. Very relaxing to dine here. The food is also special here. I was here with my husband and we order their special meal from appetizers to desserts and it was good. A very romantic place to be within Vietnam.
My recommendation to stay in the walking street can be found here: This is an affiliate link. Find a Hostel in HCM Walking Street Here
And if you like backpacking, this is the best place to stay as there are many hostels here.
A&EM Hotel is a good place to stay in the heart of the center of Ho Chi Minh city.
