Arrival - Ho Chi Minh City

Today, you touchdown in the vibrant city of Ho Chi Minh and kick off your adventure with a burst of excitement! After breezing through check-in at the hotel, seize the moment to explore your surroundings. Unleash your inner explorer and soak in the eclectic energy that pulses through the streets.


After your initial culture shock at the hotel, you will join forces with the Be Curious crew and a local guide for an exhilarating Cyclo trip! Picture yourself cruising through Saigon on a three-wheeled wonder known as the Xich Lo – a ride that's been weaving through Vietnam's history for centuries.



Embark on a whirlwind tour lasting one to two hours, where every turn unveils Saigon's dazzling attractions. From the lively Ben Thanh Market to the historic Reunification Palace, the poignant War Remnants Museum, the majestic Saigon Opera House, and the iconic Notre Dame Cathedral of Saigon – you're in for a visual feast!

But the adventure doesn't stop there. Your cyclo driver doubles as a storyteller, sharing the city's rich history and culture as you pedal through its bustling streets. Immerse yourself in the vibrant tapestry of Saigon, from ancient temples to the vibrant Cholon, Saigon's Chinatown. Get ready to absorb the sights, sounds, and stories that make this city come alive – Ho Chi Minh City style!

I had a great time, I was a little sad that we didn't get to be in Lisbon Portugal the city (proper), we ended up being about 30 minutes outside of the city, I felt like the amount of money we spent on ubers could have been used to go to a hotel room to be in the city because its a walkable/ walking city. Aside from that, I thought the trip to Cape Verde was phenomenal, I came home with nothing but positive memories and stories, and I would love to go back again specifically to the beach where they shot the black panther 2, the food and the people in cape verde where beautiful and friendly. I would go again. I thought the people on the trip made the trip too!

An absolutely amazing trip and experience! Great food and excursions. Thank you to the entire Be Curious team for being accommodating and for making memories I will never ever forget!

The "Return to Our Motherland" Cape Verde Trip was nothing short of the word AMAZING! The experiences and memories that were made on the trip for me personally I know I will remember for the rest of my life. Incredible scenery, itinerary, tour guides, food, and people this is definitely not the last time Cape Verde will be seeing me! The professionalism and enthusiasm displayed on the trip from Be Curious makes it an easy decision to do future bookings and really excited for whatever the next trip I have in store with them. 10/10 trip and experience thank you again Be Curious for making this happen!

First and for most, no one said it was going to be an "Amazing Race" experience that I didn't know I needed! My sister and I came on this trip not knowing what to expect but what we got was so much more than we dreamed it could be. We met amazing people and traveled to beautiful locations. We slept in an "ACTIVE VOLCANO", we swam with sea turtles, we hiked a mountain, we had a blast yall! At 55 it was a time of a lifetime. Be open, be eager, be curious!

We can’t say enough of how Be Curious is a top notch travel agency, truly like none other. We planned a last minute summer trip to Italy and France, in which Be Curious helped us plan a detailed and exciting 11 day adventure on short notice! We simply provided them with our “must haves” and they made it happen with everything we asked for, PLUS more! Our trip was truly unique, in that we were set up with personal tour guides that made each place we visited a little bit more unique and worthwhile! In addition to tours, we also had wonderful excursions planned such as a sunset dinner cruise in Amalfi Coast and cooking pasta with a local family in Naples! Very unique experiences! Our trip wasn’t without challenges, we had repeated flight delays and cancellations; but the staff at Be Curious were there each step of the way, offering alternative travel routes, such as bus and train options ( suggestion: plan for alternate travel means in case of flight disruptions, it will save you from experiencing loads of stress). Because of our delays, we missed two days from our itinerary, however, Be Curious worked to get us back on track once we arrived and also helped us get in some of the excursions and experiences that were previously scheduled. (Another suggestion: purchase travel insurance, it will help you recoup any lost monies due to flight disruptions or unexpected changes, etc.) Overall, our experience with Be Curious exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for a well thought out, unique and professional experience, definitely book with Be Curious! Thank us later😊 Wishing you safe and curious travels!! Jamar & Veronica
