What To Expect
The Independence Palace
Reunification 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. Reunification 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.
War Remnants Museum
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.

Our tour guide Laren was excellent, he kept the day working and very interesting, his historical knowledge was great. We were left to have lunch on our own which was a nice touch.

5.00Duy Anh (Tony is his American name ) gave us a great tour of the city. He was very informative and fun. The van was very nice and the A/C worked very well! We went to a very interesting temple, Independence Palace and the War Remnants Museum, followed by a great lunch! Afterwards we went to the Saigon post Office and then to a market. His English was very understandable. We had nothing but fun!!

Visiting Saigon

5.00Saigon is a very nice town worth visiting. Laren was a great guide. We really liked the friendly and attentive way he explained the history of the different places we visited. Despite a minor defect the van had before picking us up and so the Tour we started it 30 minutes later than we agreed, we were able to know all the places we were offered when hiring the tour and even had time to do some shopping.
