any 3 day tours in saigon?
3 days down the ho chi mihn trail
I don't know about any tours in Sai Gon which explore the HCM trail and I'd be a little wary of anyone offering one. The HCM trail was not one trail. It was a series of routes ranging from foot paths to macadam roads. Once the NVA approached the South Vietnamese border, they would usually cross over into Laos and then down to Cambodia in order to make it politically difficult for the US to circumvent their supply lines. So basically, the HCM trail rarely existed in S. Vietnam. It wasn't like a fixed road or trail, something like that would have been exceedingly easy to destroy.
If you're interested in war history, there are plenty of places in and around Sai Gon to see, as you may notice when you land at Tan Son Nhut airport. (that was the main US airbase). Also, the former American Embassy is now a war museum, and a couple of blocks away, the former presidential palace is open to the public, the Rex Hotel was the Headquarters of MACV and the Cu Chi Tunnels can be explored via a day tour leaving from many tour vendors in Sai Gon.
Enjoy your trip.
