Vibrant, Fascinating, Ancient and Modern our Ho Chi Minh Itinerary offers all this and more to the traveller

Ho Chi Minh City – formerly named Saigon – is the busy, chaotic and wonderful main business hub of Vietnam but hopefully business will be the last thing on your mind however, if you spend 3 perfect days in Ho Chi Minh with our Ho Chi Minh Itinerary. Bicycles, Rickshaws and Motorbikes following their own individual interpretations of the Highway Rules are a visitor attraction in their own right – particularly during Rush Hour. With our perfectly curated Secret Retreats itineraries, you can immerse yourself in the splendour of this heady mixture of French Colonialist architecture, Chinese Temples, Buddhist culture and of course, the busy street life that is the life blood of the city. Visit our Secret Tables and perhaps try your hand at learning to cook Vietnamese cuisine or take a city tour on the ubiquitous and very cool Vespa motorscooter to visit the must see sites both on and off the beaten path in this incredible city.

Night Markets, Street Food and Chinatown are all part of this rich tapestry of colourful sights and amazing aromas, so you really will join the dance of Ho Chi Minh’s constant rhythm just by being here. There really is something for everyone, so for individuals, families and yes, history-buffs, spending 1 week in Vietnam, 2 weeks in Vietnam or just choosing our Ho Chi Minh Itinerary when passing through on a longer visit to the region, disappointment is not an option. You can visit the Cu Chi Tunnels if you are interested in the history of the American war, or combine your visit here with our Mekong Delta Itinerary to experience life in the hub of this river region that is almost entirely built on water. A short drive from the city to the gateway to the Delta, a Secret Retreats 3 Day Mekong Delta itinerary in our specially-curated luxury accommodation, combining both stays on and off the water, can offer you a taste of life in the ‘Rice Bowl’ of the country, take you off-the-beaten-track to experience the astonishing nature of the region and ‘live like the locals’ – whilst maintaining the sustainability of their culture through the Responsible Travel that underpins all of our Secret Retreats locations.
