What To Expect
Central Post Office
The Central Post Office in Saigon, designed by Gustave Eiffel, is a stunning example of French colonial architecture in Vietnam. Inside, visitors are impressed by its vaulted ceilings, intricate details, and the large portrait of Ho Chi Minh. Still in operation today, the post office offers not only postal services but also a glimpse into the city’s rich cultural and historical heritage.
Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral
Notre Dame Cathedral in Saigon, built by the French in the late 19th century, is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Featuring striking red brick walls and twin bell towers, the cathedral showcases classic Gothic and Romanesque architectural styles. Surrounded by a lively square, it remains a peaceful spiritual site and a popular stop for both locals and visitors.

5.00This was probably the best city tour I’ve joined, and I learned so much about the culture and history of this country. We visited the War Remnants Museum to gain a deeper understanding of the Vietnam War, the Independence Palace to learn about the residence of former presidents, and Ben Thanh Market, which has existed for more than 100 years. There are so many fascinating stories surrounding these places, and I’m truly happy that I had the chance to join this tour.
First and best experience in Vietnam

5.00It was a memorable afternoon with Vivian. We went on a family trip to HCMC and took half-day tour. 4-5 hours is enough to see this dynamic city through local eyes. Independence palace, War museum, and so on. But what I deeply appreciated is Vivian always check up on my aged mother. Her hospitality and professionalism fullfilled our short trip in this city. Thank you and hope to see you again oneday.

5.00Our guide, Daniel, was absolutely fantastic. He was extremely well-informed and ensured we saw all the key highlights. He had a great way of engaging with both children and adults, making the experience enjoyable for everyone. Daniel also provided us with valuable tips on other attractions and activities around Saigon. During the tour, he took us to the Independence Palace, the War Remnants Museum, the Maternity Temple, a vibrant local market, and the iconic Central Post Office. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Saigon!
