Ho Chi Minh (formerly Saigon) as the city is still frequently referred to be Vietnam's largest city. It is a fast-paced city full of contrasts as street vendors selling fruit and vegetables can be seen next to glitzy western-style bars and boutiques. Saigon's history is only 300 years old. In 1859 the city was captured by the French and became the capital of Cochin China. From 1956 until its dramatic demise in April 1975 it was the capital of the US-backed Republic of Vietnam. Today, Ho Chi Minh City is very much the heart of Vietnamese business and entrepreneurs.
A perfect overview of historical monuments and cultural sites of Saigon. This half-day tour of Ho Chi Minh City is the perfect introduction to the city and the country's colorful past. Visit Notre Dame Cathedral, Old Post Office, Reunification Palace, War Remnants Museum and Jade Emperor Pagoda.

Excelent experience, didn't have to wait anywhere and learned alot along the way. Managed to get suvenirs and saw the palace, budist temple, was museum, hand crafts and markets. Our tour guide Taiphun Honey was informative and flexible. We enjoyed having the air-conditioned car just for ourselves, always ready when we were. Highly recommended!

Tam provided an excellent overview of the four sites we visited on the tour. He handled ticket purchases and walked us through each venue providing unique historical insights. It was just the right amount of detail. Given the heat and humidity, it would have been a better tour if water had been available throughout, instead of as we were heading back to our hotels.

First time in Saigon and We did a private tour and it was so worth it. Our guide was so informative and made this tour fascinating and we learnt so much about this incredible city.
We covered all the main sites in an air conditioned car and our driver was fantastic navigating the crazy streets - would love to know how he stayed so cool and calm
Very professional from pick up to drop off and on time. It was around 3.5 hours which was perfect for us.
Highly recommend

Our guide Denny was incredible. He was so knowledgeable and took us to all the right places. Additionally, he was very good with kids and parents alike. He also was helpful in giving us advice on other things to do in Saigon. He took us to the Presidents House, War Remnants Museum, Maternity Temple, an incredible market, and the Post Office. I highly highly recommend this tour to anyone who visits Saigon.

Ben was wonderful and informative. The van was very nice and the pickups/drop offs were extremely prompt at the hotel and all of the sites. My only wish was for more time to wander around and read the exhibits (without the tour guide) at both the Reunification Palace and the War Remnants Museum.
