Hi, I will be going to HCM for the first time for 6D5N with my friends so I need advice from all bros here.

We planned to spend the first 3 days exploring HCM(cu chi tunnels, war museum, ben thamh etc). On the 3rd night, take a night train to nha trang. Spend the 4th and 5th day there and take a night train back HCM on the 5th night. My flight back is around 3 on the 6th day. Would it be too rush?

And also has anyone stay in Saigon Sports 2 hotel before? Recommended to stay there?

Lastly, how's the weather like in late July. We plan to snorkel at Nha Trang.

First time, thats why many qns. Paiseh.

OIC, saman. My friend was telling me booking from Sincafe quite reasonable and inclusive of entrance fees and meal. Not sure how true. He also booked his Mekong Delta tour from them, and inclusive of meals, but the elephant fish is extra pay one. Wondering 1 Day tour is it enough?

Talking about Mekong Tour, remembered few yrs back my sister and her hubby kana conned by the meal there. The food there, they simply take it as serving for 6pax, although they ordered for 2... ended up they kana conned $160 for a meal.

at first i wanted to book my tour from sinhcafe too.. somemore nt very far from my hotel.. but i quite worried i be late for the tour so i booked through my hotel..

u can refer to the below link.. can try to email them wat inclusive in the fee..
