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. 30 minutes

Great excursion!! James Nguyen was a very kind and knowledgeable tour guide. The driver was professional and courteous. I definitely recommend this excursion. The Cu Chi tunnels gives you a good perspective of what was happening during that time in history. The Pho restaurant had the tastiest pho I’ve ever had. The broth had rich developed flavor. The sightseeing around Ho Chi Minh City was fun. Almost forgot, the traditional lacquer factory had beautiful work, and gave a step by step process on how the pieces are made.

My husband and friends were picked up from the port for this visit. Sarah was lovely and had to cope with terrible traffic each way which made the double journey nearly 8 hrs in total. The driver was excellent. Once we arrived at the tunnels Sarah took us around the vast site and was very informative with the history. It really was an unmissable trip which explained many things of this part of history.
We were due to eat lunch but we didn’t have enough time due to the traffic, so Sarah arranged for the restaurant to have a takeaway meal which we collected and was delicious.
More time would have been good but the heavy traffic was no one’s fault and Sarah was great.

Confusion with the meeting time. We booked the meeting time for 10AM but got message grom the guide that we should meet at 7AM because of the traffic. We end up meeting at 8:30am. There should not be a choice of meeting time on the site to choose. We ended up rushing through the city.
