What To Expect

Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral

Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral, built in the late 1880s by French colonists, is one of the few remaining strongholds of Catholicism in the largely Buddhist Vietnam. Located in Paris Square, the name Notre Dame was given after the installation of the statue ‘Peaceful Notre Dame’ in 1959. In 1962, the Vatican conferred the Cathedral status as a basilica and gave it the official name of Saigon Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica. Measuring almost 60 metres in height, the cathedral’s distinctive neo-Romanesque features include the all-red brick façade (which were imported from Marseille), stained glass windows, two bell towers containing six bronze bells that still ring to this day, and a peaceful garden setting in the middle of downtown Ho Chi Minh City District 1.

15 minutes • Admission Not Applicable

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.

Kain 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

It was nice to be picked up by car from our port and to have a guide taking us around the city of Saigon. He was energetic and enthusiastic about his city, as well as being knowledgeable. Having a private guide lets you see more in less time, and ask lots of questions.
