Phú Mỹ Port to Saigon and Saigon Eco Village

From there, depart for Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), around 1.5 hours away by private minivan. Then, begin the tour by visiting several unique places in Saigon.
• Saigon Eco Village: This place is very famous, and local people go there for picnics and fishing on the weekends. I will introduce you to how rice is grown and how fish are caught in Saigon City. This is an unseen part of Saigon. We will enjoy a cup of coffee or local Vietnamese-style beer here.
