Very enjoyable tour. Good insight into the background to the palace and the American War museum, while very one-sided, was well worth a visit. Good tour guide who looked after us well.

a good brief tour to experience Saigon- visiting all prominent locations in Saigon. If you have a half day and want to experience crux of the Saigon city Ho Chin Min, then this one is a sure go. The tour guide was good and can speak fluent english. Overall worth the money!

Picked up on time from our hotel and after picking up the rest of the tour group we headed off to the Jade Emperor Pagoda. Too much incense for my liking but such fascinating stories! The War Remnants Museum was a highlight but needed more time to really see it all. Independance Palace was another place of interesting stories, in particular the bunker. The Post Office was a magnificent building with maps of Vietnam as murals. My friend and I opted out of going to the markets and our guide Loy was happy to take us back to our hotel before heading there with the rest of the group. An enjoyable afternoon with an informative guide!
