Between 7:30 and 9:00am, exact time TBD we will head out for a Mekong Delta tour/cruise.
There are a number of options for tour length, but expect this to be 8 to 10 hours.
Pricing will very depending on the group size and tour company, but I'm expecting this to be about $80
Depending on the tour we do I expect we will be back in HCMC around 7 at the latest, so dinner will be planned for 8:30 but I'll let you know if it goes later.

Dinner at 8:30 PM: Quan An Vietnames Restaurant
71/5+6 Mac Thi Buoi St | Ho Chi Minh City, District 1

"Unseen Saigon" tour where they will take you through Ho Chi Minh on motorbikes.
This is about 5 hours.

After lunch, War Remnants Museum and Saigon Central Market. Possibly Reunification Palace if time permits.
Dinner at There will be a late lunch or dinner to follow depending on when everyone's flights leave.

For Visas you must go through a service to apply for a visa online and have a visa approval letter. PM me for suggestions if needed. There is a $45 stamping fee when you land in Saigon, you need exact change in USD. This has increased from $15. This is for US citizens so verify what it is for your country and the processing time for the online applications is about 3 days.
