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.

5.00Had a great half day under the guidance of Ký Anh, our host, who was both extremely informative and personable in equal measure. Spent enough time at each of the stop points to garner a better understanding of the history, as well as how these places sit within modern Vietnam. A very worthwhile tour for anybody visiting the wonderful city of HCM👌

1.00It was my first day in Ho Chi Min and had arrived at 05.00 in the morning after a 15 hour flight. We were booked for the tour at 13.00 and made sure we were there early. 13.00 came and went. No guide. I messaged as it was the only contact details we had. 15 minutes no response. We left and did our own thing. They never made contact or apologised or explained. Very poor. I messaged again asking for a refund and got an email from Viator saying it had been requested. I would find s different company if I were you. This lot simply don't care.
