What To Expect
Saigon Central Post Office
The Old Post Office is an example of French colonial architecture and is also the country’s largest post office. Nestled in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, the Central Post Office is a stunning blend of French colonial architecture and vibrant local culture. With its elegant arches, vintage telephone booths, and historic charm, it's not just a place to send postcards—it's a journey through time you won't want to miss.
Notre Dame Cathedral of Saigon
Built between 1877 and 1883, this is one of the finest examples of classic French colonial architecture. You will have the opportunity to admire this church from the outside.

Do not recommend at all, To flee

1.00To really flee, not correct person who asks you for extra cash to give to guides for a language other than English when one has already paid on TripAdvisor. Once the tour operator is notified of these actions, he cancels overnight. I would not recommend to anyone.
Trustworthy

5.00Very informative tour. Hoàng incorporated fun activities so the group will get to know each other and to help us remember the history of the city. On a personal note, I accidentally left behind a bag on the van and he made sure I got it back bringing it after hours on his bike. Throughout the process he updated me on how far he was away to assure me. That’s a customer service.
Enjoyable half day tour
