Tips

  • Choose a reputable agency: Book with Paradise Travel™, a trusted Ho Chi Minh City tour operator, for expertly crafted experiences like our Ho Chi Minh City day tours and Cu Chi Tunnels Full Day Trip. Our professional guides, comfortable transport, and flexible itineraries ensure a hassle-free trip.
  • Be careful of your belongings. When exploring busy areas like Ben Thanh Market or District 1, keep your belongings secure. Avoid flashing jewelry, cash, or expensive cameras, as pickpocketing can occur in crowded spots. Use a crossbody bag or money belt, and keep valuables in hotel safes.
  • Time your visits: Visit sites like the Reunification Palace or War Remnants Museum early (before 10 AM) to avoid crowds and heat. For Ben Thanh Market, mornings are ideal for fresh goods, while the night market (after 6 PM) buzzes with energy.
  • Gear up for Cu Chi Tunnels: Wear lightweight clothing and sturdy shoes for the Cu Chi Tunnels tour, so you can crawl through narrow passages. Bring a small flashlight and a hat for sun protection.
  • Embrace saigon’s nightlife. District 1 is Ho Chi Minh City’s nightlife hub. Enjoy skyline views at rooftop bars like Saigon Saigon Bar or dance at clubs like Lush. Dress smart-casual for upscale spots. A Ho Chi Minh City scooter tour by night is a thrilling way to see Saigon after dark.
