Overview

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.

Outstanding half day tour of Saigon

Published on Feb, 2025

Our guides were excellent- Typhoon Honey was the lead guide and the driver Quan. Thphoon was very knowledgable and an excellent guide. The vehicle was excellent. This was an Outstanding half day day of Saigon - hitting the highlights of the central square near the cathedral/ post office and then war museum, presidential office/ palace/ temples and the local market. We highly recommend Typhoon and Quan and the half day tour.

Fantastic day in Ho Chi Minh

Published on Jan, 2025

Trung and Typhoon Honey made sure we had the most amazing day exploring Ho Chi Minh. Skipping lines and entrance fees all included, we went at our own pace and Typhoon made the tour fun for the kids too. We saw so much and learnt so much about the city. Fantastic day thank you. The van was so comfortable and very well organised no waiting around. Highly recommend

Excellent

Published on Jan, 2025

The tour was great and really learned a lot about the history of Vietnam especially at the War Remnants Museum. I really enjoyed the tour and thanks to Peter for also giving more info about the History of Ho Chi Minh City. Thanks Thien Phu for a great tour…. We will definitely come back to Vietnam and explore more about the country. In my home language ‘Ke a leboga’ (meaning Thank you in Setswana one of South African languages).

Pantastic Peter!

Published on Jan, 2025

Peter was such an amazing tour guide who opened up Ho Chi Min to us. He made sure to always stick by us and really made the tour memorable. He was very knowledgeable on the history of Vietnam and also gave us advice on places which we can go. He was awesome and made this tour extremely fun! I also thank the driver for his exceptional driving skills and getting us to the places quickly and on time.

Great experience by Peter
