Saigon Central Post Office
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.

Dorothy Is an Outstanding Guide with Great Local Insight and Spanish Fluency

5.00We had a very pleasant surprise when we arrived and realized that we had both a driver and a professional tour guide, and she even speaks Spanish!! DOROTHY is incredibly warm and professional. She has deep knowledge of the city and the country, and we gained a lot of context thanks not only to what she knows, but also to how she explains things: clear, simple, and very engaging. At every stop, she shared stories and insights that really enhanced what we were seeing. She was also flexible with our itinerary, adding extra stops that weren’t originally included and asking us when we preferred to have lunch to plan the day around it. Entrance tickets to the Reunification Palace are included. We were also pleasantly surprised that she took us to a great pho spot since we wanted to try it. On top of that, lunch is included, which is a nice added touch. We highly recommend DOROTHY, whether you take the tour in English or Spanish.

5.00We had a great trip with James. Highly recommend. We were 4 adults (parents and grandparents) and 1 toddler. James took us to a wide range of sites and was very accommodating to plan our day around our toddlers needs. He and our driver met us at the cruise port at 10 am and dropped us back to the port at 6.30pm. we went to all the major sights, had a lovely pre organised lunch that accommodated for vegetarians and was able to get the toddler to nap in the air con van for a bit too. Everything was covered in the costs, apart from some drinks with lunch and James was very knowledgeable and offered good information and advice throughout the day with a good sense of humour.
Knowledgeable, comfortable and friendly trip to see the sights of Saigon

5.00We've just finished our tour with James. We are travelling with our 1 year old and this was the perfect tour. James was adaptable when needed and really knowledgeable. They were there waiting at the port when we got off the boat even though our port had changed. Thank you for showing us the sights of Saigon and for a great lunch.
Eye opening experience

5.00Mr Castle is a personable guide who loves talking about Vietnam’s history, cars, whatever you want. He’s great at taking photos and knows shortcuts around the palace. He also showed us the children’s play area so as parents we could take turns viewing the graphic galleries at the war museum (a must).
Wonderful day in a wonderful city.

5.00Even if you do not know at which port your ship will dock, the tour operator will find out and will meet you in the right place. The tour was excellent. Just the right mix of places, at an appropriate pace. Our guide, Evelyn, was lovely, knowledgeble and spoke excellent English. We thought HCMC was a great city, in part thanks to Evelyn's introduction. Lovely to be taken around in a cool, comfortable car with a calm, safe driver.
Absolutely better than a cruise ship excursion
