Rex Hotel: Rex hotel
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • We where advised by the lonely planet that one of the things to do was to visit the famous Rex hotel. Nice quiet atomsphere but not much of a view as expected. Its much more interesting hanging out on the side of the road drinking Bia Hoy at 2500 dong a glass.

    Out of Saigon - Cu Chi Tunnels: walking through the tunnels.
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • If you are in the slightest bit clostrophobic then do not attempt a tunnel walk though. Its hot, muddy and people in front of you are usually moving at a crawing pace because of the lack of light. There is an exit point half way if you want out early. When you book your tour guide try and request Mr Vin. He's a vietnam vet and knows first hand about the area. We started the tour in a group of 20 and finished with a 100 people listening to this man talk about flying over the area fireing at VC in a chopper!

    Reunification Palace: reunification palace
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Gounds are well kept and a great place to learn about the vietnam war. There is a bunker in the basement where all the stratagising and planning took place. The middle sections are the offices for the vietnames and international diplomats and the roof top is the party room with a dance floor and disco lights still maintaing the grovey retro theme.

     Loved the Cu Chi Tunnels, but as you say not for the claustrophobic. Interesting that you had an anti VC guide, ours was the exact opposite.
