WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Asiana Link Travel
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 Indochina. From 1956 until its dramatic demise in April 1975 it was the capital of the US-backed Republic of Vietnam. This FULL day city tour unravels Saigon’s turbulent past and also provides a glimpse into the fascinating variety the city has to offer.
2. Ho Thi Ky Flower Market
We pick up guests at several hotels; your hotel might be the first, so please be ready by 09:00a.m. Our friendly drivers can take you to Hồ Thị Kỷ Flower Market, where you can enjoy a short walking tour through the busy stalls, immersing yourself in the vibrant energy and scents of this beloved landmark of the local flower trade.
3. Ba Thien Hau Temple
Take a cyclo ride to “Sài Gòn’s Chinatown” in District 5. Visit the Thiên Hậu temple to experience the fusion of Chinese and Vietnamese culture and Bình Tây Market for a vibrant atmosphere filled with goods and produce.
4. Binh Tay Market
We’ll pass by Bình Tây wholesale market, one of the biggest markets in Hồ Chí Minh city.
5.
Hop back on your Cyclo and leisurely make your way back to the city center. After a few hours of exploration, satisfy your hunger with a delicious light lunch at a local noodle shop. After a satisfying lunch, we’ll be ready for an interesting afternoon tour that will take you to many important sites.
6.
We will visit the following places of interest in the morning: The Reunification Palace: Here on April 30th, 1975 the Vietnam War officially ended when tank number 843 of the North Vietnamese Army crashed through the gates of what was, at the time the residence of the President of the Republic of Vietnam.
7. War Remnants Museum
War Remnants Museum: Formerly known as the Museum of American War Crimes, this is a poignant display of the futility of war. Some of the black and white photography in the ‘Requiem’ exhibit is particularly touching, dedicated to both foreign and Vietnamese journalists and photographers who perished during the conflict. The courtyard outside contains the spoils of war, namely rusting jets, tanks and cannons captured from the American military machine.
8. Central Post Office
The Old Post Office is another example of French colonial architecture and is also the country’s largest post office.
9. Emperor Jade Pagoda
Jade Emperor Pagoda: Built in 1909 in honor of the supreme Taoist god, this is one of the most spectacularly atmospheric temples in HCMC, stuffed with statues of phantasmal divinities and grotesque heroes. The pungent smoke of incense fills the air, obscuring the exquisite woodcarvings.
10. Ben Thanh Market
Bến Thành Market is one of the oldest and most popular markets in Hồ Chí Minh City. It’s a bustling hub of activity where visitors can immerse themselves in the local culture and shop for a variety of goods, from clothing and souvenirs to fresh produce and street food. We’ll drop you back to pick-up point or somewhere in city center as your request.

This tour was really relaxing and a great way to see Ho Chi Minh. And to be in the organised chaos of Ho Chi Minh traffic was awesome. Our tour guide, Joey, was super friendly, very knowledgeable and taught us many things about the Vietnamese history and culture. A thoroughly enjoyable experience!

My wife and I were very impressed with the amazing tour provided by Asiana Link Travel. Kelvin Luong organized the tour and we were fortunate to have an outstanding tour guide--Stark. He is a 24 year old specialist in tours and graduated with a degree in tourism. What impressed us was Stark's detailed history of Vietnam along with pictures of key people and history timelines. The Reunification Palace and War Reminants Museum along with a tour of the famous Post Office were some of the sights we enjoyed It was a great day and we highly recommend Asiana Link Travel. Thanks for a great day in Ho Chi hMin City and please extend our thanks and appreciate to Stark.
