  • Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
    Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral, built in the late 1880s by French colonists, is one of the few remaining strongholds of Catholicism in the largely Buddhist Vietnam. Located in Paris Square, the name Notre Dame was given after the installation of the statue ‘Peaceful Notre Dame’ in 1959. In 1962, the Vatican conferred the Cathedral status as a basilica and gave it the official name of Saigon Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica. Measuring almost 60 metres in height, the cathedral’s distinctive neo-Romanesque features include the all-red brick façade (which were imported from Marseille), stained glass windows, two bell towers containing six bronze bells that still ring to this day, and a peaceful garden setting in the middle of downtown Ho Chi Minh City District 1.

  • Central Post Office, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
    The Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh is a beautifully preserved remnant of French colonial times and perhaps the grandest post office in all of Southeast Asia. Located next door to Notre Dame Cathedral, the two cultural sites can be visited together and offers visitors a chance to imagine life in Vietnam during the times of the Indochinese Empire. The building was designed by Alfred Foulhoux and features arched windows and wooden shutters, just as it would have in its heyday in the late 19th Century.
    30 minutes
  • The Independence Palace, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
    Independence Palace was the base of Vietnamese General Ngo Dinh Diem until his death in 1963. It made its name in global history in 1975. A tank belonging to the North Vietnamese Army crashed through its main gate, ending the Vietnam War. Today, it's a must-visit for tourists in Ho Chi Minh City. The palace is like a time capsule frozen in 1975. You can see two of the original tanks used in the capture of the palace parked in the grounds. Independence Palace was the home and workplace of the French Governor of Cochin-China. It has lush gardens, secret rooms, antique furniture, and a command bunker. It's still in use to host important occasions in Ho Chi Minh, including APEC summits.
    45 minutes
  • War Remnants Museum, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
    The War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City first opened to the public in 1975. Once known as the ‘Museum of American War Crimes’, it's a shocking reminder of the long and brutal Vietnam War. Graphic photographs and American military equipment are on display. There's a helicopter with rocket launchers, a tank, a fighter plane, a single-seater attack aircraft. You can also see a conventional bomb that weighs at 6,800kg. American troops had used these weapons against the Vietnamese between 1945 and 1975.
    45 minutes
  • People's Committee Building, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
    The People’s Committee Building Saigon in central Ho Chi Minh City features well-preserved French colonial architecture in a spacious garden landscape. Originally constructed as a hotel in 1898 by French architect Gardes, it now serves as a city hall and one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Occupying the end of Nguyen Hue walking promenade, it has three buildings with embossed statues of animals and people, intricate bas-reliefs on the walls, as well as a statue of Ho Chi Minh in front of the main building. The best time to visit is in the evening, as these features are beautifully illuminated with LED lights.
    30 minutes
  • Saigon Opera House (Ho Chi Minh Municipal Theater), Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
    The Saigon Opera House in Ho Chi Minh is an elegant colonial building at the intersection of Le Loi and Dong Khoi Street in District 1, very close to the famous Notre Dame Cathedral and the classic Central Post Office. The restored three-storey 800-seat Opera House was built in 1897 and is used for staging not only opera but also a wide range of performing arts including ballet, musical concerts, Vietnamese traditional dance and plays. Performances are advertised around the building and information can be found in the state-operated tourist information centre close by.
    30 minutes
  • Chinatown (Cho Lon) - District 5, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
    Ho Chi Minh City’s Cholon is Vietnam’s largest Chinatown with roots dating back to 1778; it’s also a place of great historical and cultural importance. Chinese minorities hid here from the Tay Son and subsequently had to rebuild the area twice following attack with as many as 70% estimated to have died trying to escape on boats. Those who survived settled and began selling a variety of Chinese products. During the Vietnam War Cholon was a thriving black market for US soldiers trading in American Army issue supplies. The area today is a popular site for those on the tourist trail and also attracts many Taiwanese and Chinese visitors. Cholon is an interesting place to see classical Chinese architecture reminiscent of years gone by with plenty of Chinese restaurants. The Binh Tay market at the centre is busy, crowded and messy with small aisles selling all manner of goods. This market sometimes disappoints tourists when compared to other markets in Ho Chi Minh as the products are not that varied, but the main draw to Cholon is not to shop but to enjoy the authentic Chinese atmosphere that has existed here for hundreds of years. It’s a wonderful place to experience at night.
    60 minutes
  • Ba Thien Hau Temple, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
    Ba Thien Hau Temple in Saigon is a Buddhist temple dedicated to the Chinese sea goddess, Mazu. It’s believed that she protects and rescues ships and people on the sea by flying around on a mat or cloud. Mazuism is connected with traditions and beliefs from both Taoism and Buddhism. Mazuism is therefore an incorporation of different aspects and traditions which have merged to form a new belief. You will find this temple in ‘Cholon’ (Chinatown) in District 5, which is roughly a twenty minute drive from the city centre.
    30 minutes
  • Ben Thanh Market, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
    Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh City's District 1 is a great place to buy local handicrafts, branded goods, Vietnamese art and other souvenirs. Here, you’ll find eating stalls inside the market where you can get a taste of hawker-style Vietnamese cuisine or simply cool off with a cold drink when the bargaining becomes too much. The market is big, difficult to navigate at times and certainly best avoided during the hottest part of the day but all the same its well worth a look. When night falls, restaurants around the perimeter of the market open their doors creating a vibrant street side scene filling the air with the scents of wok-fried noodles, barbecued fish and meats. One of Saigon’s oldest landmarks, Ben Thanh offers a great atmosphere that is absolutely authentically Vietnamese.

Traveled with my family who consisted of 4 seniors. Had a fantastic guide with us, Liam and the driver who made the experience all the much more memorable. Very patient with seniors and had a good command of English so communication was easy. We had a private tour hence we could tweak our itinerary to our preference. Good recommendations from Liam for food and coffee. Special shout out to Liam again for going out of the way taking care of my family and ensuring everyone had a really good time and experience. Having a private driver with a comfortable van made it much easier going around in the HCM heat. Ask for Liam if you're booking with this travel agency.

Our tour guide was Liam. He was absolutely outstanding from the start. Told us he would be outside port gate of our ship to meet us with a sign. He spoke almost perfect English. He had a car and driver. He told us his plan for the day and asked did we have any special requests. His plan was great. We saw the Independence palace,Jade Emperor Pagoda, central Post office, Binh Tay Market, Notre Dame Cathedral, War Remnants Museum, passed by the opera house and took a walk through the center which had numerous steel/wire statues depicting the history of the country. We also visited the lacquer workshop which had stunning products. We found excellent coffee to purchase to take home. We also had a great lunch- pho and even a coffee break in the afternoon. We ended the day with a trip to the 87th floor of the tallest building in HoChiMinh city. During the course of the day, Liam told us the country’s and city’s history. He filled us in on the importance and celebration of the 50th anniversary of Vietnam. Liam went way beyond our expectations in describing and explaining events, history, and the historical sites in HoChiMinh city. We wish we could have had another day with Liam. Furthermore, he had the driver meet us and take us to the next adventure- insuring our comfort zone.

OMG! We had the best time! Sang is enthusiastic and knowledgeable! Even with our ship delaying disembarkation, Sang made sure we saw everything listed, and got us back in time to get back on our ship without rushing. Ho Chi Minh is such a fabulous city, we easily could have spent a couple more days there. Thank you, Sang for making our tour so memorable!
