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.

5.00Kain the tour guide was over the top excellent.. this tour was beyond our expectations because of Kain .. he was knowledgeable, kind, organized, & was flexible if we wanted to do something other than what he had planned.. we had lunch at a local Pho restaurant, egg foamed coffee at another local, we did local markets and the driver was always there to pick us up after our local tours.. Kain the tour guide was exceptional.. we now have a new friend now in Saigon.. Viator uses Maximus Travel in Saigon & Kain works independately for them…. Hopefully when you book the travel guide Kain will be the guy showing u around Saigon.. P.s. Kain is very handsome, 😁great English & confident in is business.. we wish him great success in the following years. Linda & Charles Collingwood Ontario Canada

5.00We had a very professional tour guide "Minh Lai". He was prompt in contacting us the day before to confirm pick up location and time at the port gate. Very respectful and informative on the tour. Once we got chatting ww had some laughs along the tour. He was knowledgeable and showed us the real HCM city and it's culture. His passion about the city was clearly his forte. He was eager to impart information on the war museum which was eye opening about the very sad times this culture and country endured in the war years. Above all his friendliness and family values stood out with his passion and love of his city and country. Csn highly recommend Minh Lai for anyone visiting this city. Thank you ML.

5.00Our guide, Hai, made this a great experience for us. Great places at the Augustus Eiffel Post Office. Back the the 60s at the Imperial Palace. Finding the old home near Vun Tao Dan park. Hao was very patient with us taking Tom’s of pics after coming back to Saigon 50 years later. He then took us to a great authentic restaurant. Lots of fun and highly recommend getting a private tour with someone like Hao.
