Interesting excursions in Ho Chi Minh City, there are some and for you. For a start, you can ride from Ho Chip for a walk to the neighboring countries - in Cambodia and Thailand. But I guess if you came to this city for a week or like that option, somehow "TU Mach", and such a tour is better to postpone until better times, that is, until the next time and before visiting these countries.
But in the country there are a lot of interesting excursions. By the way, if you find a Russian-speaking guide, it's great, but it will cost you more than an age-growing. Moreover, sometimes 10 times more expensive. In principle, if you own English at the base level, you can safely take such a guide - and not scary, and informatively (if anything, you can take a bunch with you in Russian and read the rest). So, prices for excursions - for those who take a guide with English.
Ho Chi Minh City Excursion
Everything is clear here. For those who are afraid to dwell in the streets and miss something. Excursion usually lasts from morning to evening, either half a day, walking and on motorcycles. During such a tour, guests of Ho Chi Minhine will visit the main attractions - the Palace of Reunion, the Chief Advice, the Cathedral of Notre Dame, the Emperor Pagoda, the Opera House. Well, these structures are accurate, but about the rest - here either agree, or choose another guide. It is worth such a tour from $ 8 (with a Russian guide from $ 30, if a group is 5-6 people and up to 70 bucks, if the excursion is individual).
Environmental tour CAngio.
CAN GIO National Reserve is 55 kilometers from Ho Chi Minhine. All as usual - birds, plants, flowers. From Ho Chi Minhina to the Park to go about two hours, usually the tour begins at 8 am. The most interesting part of the excursion is a visit to the island of monkeys, which, by the way, is under the protection of UNESCO since 2000. At the same time, you will be delivered to the archaeological museum, you swim on the waters among the mangroves, see a couple of crocodiles, pythons, wild cats, and, of course, the ubiquitous monkeys.
By the way, about 80 crocodiles live in this park, so you can admire on these huge reptiles you can, and still learn how they lay eggs and show newborn crocodiles (maybe even let me hold on your hands). Then tourists, as a rule, are carrying to the beach next to Vungtau and the region of Geng, where you are to have, rest and swim.
Naturally, no crocodiles and snakes in these waters are not. Then a little more reserve, usually, birds, and for 4 o'clock in the day you will be brought to Ho Chi Minh. There is such a tour from $ 50 per person, however, maybe a little less, if in the group more people (well, depends on the agency where you acquire a tour).
Excursion to the Mekong River Delta
This excursion is of different species, for one to two or three days. Of course, you yourself can get to there, because it is quite close. But, if you are afraid, be sure to take a guide and forth. One day is enough. From Ho Chip to the place to go no more than one and a half hours. First, the group of tourists will be brought to the store with souvenirs - vases, plates, pieces. Naturally, due to agreement with the agency, everything is more expensive in this store than everything is the same in the market in Ho Chi Minh City, so do not try to acquire anything there. Well, only if you are too lazy to plan the market yourself. Although the store is interesting, similar to the museum. Then travelers planted on the banks of the river, planting in a canoe and ride in Mekong. This part of the journey can be very exhausting and definitely will not suit young children. As a rule, it is very hot, so, put on a long sleeve shirt (from natural fabric, so as not to wake up), and do not forget about the cap.
Boatmen, please give a couple of bills, they earn very little. In general, ride, then everyone goes to a factory, where they produce candy with coconut chips. You can even personally participate in the process and then try them. Next, lunch, riding on a large engine boat, visiting the Pagoda of Vin Trang, and home. Excursion, no doubt, very interesting and saturated, and it is relatively inexpensive - about $ 20 per person
CAI BE floating market
If someone has never seen this, it is necessary to go. This is the place where the sellers are squeezed by boats, selling souvenirs and food (which they immediately prepare), and buyers swim to the sellers on the boat. Very unusual. From Hoshimin you will be lucky to the province of Tian Geng, and in general, floating markets are not uncommon in the Mekong Delta, where everything is built on these waterways. You will be lucky to the market in the morning, again, one and a half hours on the road. Prepare Cash - Fresh exotic fruits, various souvenirs, interesting pieces. Even more interesting to watch local fishermen. If you hired a private guide, then ask him to attach this market for excursions on the Mekong Del. And so there is a tour of less than 20 dollars per person.
Mineral Sources of Binchau and Beach Ho Kok
Binshu spa complex is located three hours from Ho Chi Minhine, in Baria-Vungtau province. It is standing in the middle of the thickets of the cadeput forest at the source with hot mineral water. In total, there are approximately 70 water wells in the health resort, the temperature of which ranges from 37 to 83 degrees. These waters are extremely useful for health and treat numerous diseases. Tourists give plenty of rudiment in mud and mineral baths, and then carry on a crocodile farm.
After that, everyone goes on an amazing beauty Beach Ho Coc with a convenient entrance to the sea and clean water.
Then lunch and departure home. This is an expensive tour, costs from $ 60 per person (provided a large group, with a Russian-speaking guide - from $ 90, and a two-dollar tour is from $ 150 per person).
Long tours
If you arrived in Ho Chi Minhirm, but passionately want to see other cities in Vietnam, for example, Dalat and Nha Tours, that is, there are such tours. Although, of course, it is more expedient and cheaper to go there on your own and there already hire a guide that would show you the city.
In general, as you can see, excursions in Ho Chi Minh City, and they are really very interesting. It remains only to decide on your guide and pick up the optimal option!
