Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam’s biggest & busiest city, where modernity blends with history to fascinating effect. It is home to a treasure-trove of historical delights dating from Chinese invasion period to French-colonial Indochina and through to the infamous Vietnam War. This tour will take you to the historical highlights, whilst giving you facts that you wouldn’t have learned in history class!
Highlights:
- Admire the classical French-colonial architecture of the 19th-century buildings, including Notre Dame Cathedral and the City Centre Post Office
- Wander the vast halls of the beautifully preserved Reunification Palace
- Visit one of the oldest Chinese temples in China Town - built by the first -Chinese settlers and still used as an important place of worshipping

This is a really good tour for getting an overview of the city. The visit to the Presidential estate was very informative and they've done a great job of keeping it as it was in the late 60's early 70's. We had plenty of time to explore the War Remnants museum. Our guide Bau was also very informative and provided his insight as to the situation leading up to and after the Vietnam war. The other short stops at the Post office and Temple in Chinatown were also interesting. I could have by passed the trip to the lacquer factory interesting but I’m sure there are more interesting sights in Saigon.

It was a great experience for both my mom & I. It was very informative. I really liked that our guide really explained a lot about the history of Việt Nam, the culture and it’s people.
We only had a very limited time in HCMC. One day was a visit to the tunnels and the next day we booked this tour as you are able to see all the city highlights.
Got picked up by a guide with driver on a private car at 8am and got driven around learning, seeing & experiencing everything. We were back at the hotel at 12:30ish as we had an early afternoon flight.
We opted out of the lacquer part of the tour as we had seen that the previous day as part of the tunnel tour.

This was a wonderful tour of Hanoi. Our guide, Travis, was very knowledgeable and friendly. His English is excellent and he connected very well with the group.
The tour consisted of 4 main sites: the National Defense Temple, the Literature Temple, St. Joseph’s Cathedral and the Opera House. At the end we got a complimentary drink at a well-known egg coffee café.
Overall a wonderful tour, well worth your time.

If you are looking for a quick city tour, this is an excellent tour to choose. Our tour guide Mr. Bau was spoke clear and fluent English. He was very helpful in understanding the Vietnamese culture and people. The city tour however short, was still quite a highlight during our visit.

We were picked up from our hotel and (lucky for us) we were the only passengers so it felt like a private tour. Our tour guide was excellent and pointed out a lot of points of interest along the way and provided some really great tips for us (as first time travellers to Vietnam).
We visited the War remnants museum, Independence Palace, Notre Dame church, Saigon post office and a disability art workshop before heading back to our hotel via a Chinese temple/pagoda.
He did not rush us, gave us time to explore by ourselves, provided excellent commentary and was only too happy to take our photo.
Would recommend for anyone wanting to explore the key tourist sites and get to know some of the history and culture from a local guide. All in air conditioned comfort with an experienced driver.

Jang was an excellent tour guide with very good knowledge of the history of her country. She made the day very enjoyable. I would highly recommend Jang and the city excursion trip.

We took the afternoon tour as just arrived late am. We were picked up at our hotel by our guide Sang and taken to the minivan to meet our driver and 3 other Aussies with us. In the chaotic streets our driver was excellent. We saw 4 different sites and Sang was knowledgeable and informative about all of them and gave us some insights into life in Vietnam. Thoroughly enjoyed this 4 hour tour
