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.
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.

5.00Rachel was the best your guide. While driving on the tour, Rachel shared pictures on her IPad and explained the history of the area. She guided us through each area. She even took photos for us. She even went shopping with us. At lunch she sat with us. She spoke good English and even assisted us with some Vietnamese words. Anyone who has the privilege of being her tour guide will love her.
Fantastic Saigon

5.00The pickup was smooth. The stops were well planned out and with our guide we didn’t have to stand in long lines to get in places. Our guide also picked out a Michelin pho place for lunch. We asked him to sit with us and he walked us through everything at lunch. Our guide, Anthony Nguyen, was incredible and would definitely want him with us whenever we visit again. The booking was smooth and communication was excellent. I do recommend having WhatsApp if you don’t have it.
A very good choice, recommended

5.00We did 3 tours with the agency Hiep. We all had good guides, safe drivers, clean and modern vehicles. The guides were characterized by good and clearly understandable English and good and precise description. At any time you could communicate well. The information in advance was excellent and the agency was always available and responded promptly 👍 We receive the agency, the price performance ratio is reasonable.
We'll be back.

5.00We had an unforgettable private day tour in Ho Chi Minh City with Hiep Hoi A Travel, guided by Nguyen Duc Tien and driven by Võ Tài. From start to finish, the experience was flawless. Tien was an exceptional guide—fluent in English, incredibly knowledgeable, and engaging. He brought the city’s history and culture to life with fascinating stories and insights, making every stop feel meaningful. His warm and friendly personality made us feel at ease, and he tailored the tour perfectly to our interests. Our driver, Tai, was equally impressive. He ensured our journey was smooth and comfortable, navigating the busy streets of Ho Chi Minh with skill and care. The van was clean and air-conditioned, adding to the overall comfort of the day. From iconic landmarks to hidden gems, incredibly delicious local cuisine from the restaurant Seoul, and thoughtful touches throughout, this tour exceeded all our expectations. I highly recommend Hiep Hoi A Travel, Nguyen Duc Tien, and Võ Tài for anyone looking to explore Ho Chi Minh City. A perfect 5-star experience!
