4-hour Saigon City Highlights Tour - Top Marks
Bartho15,Jul 2, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00The “Small-group Saigon City Tour: 4-hour Must-see Iconic Landmarks” tour was a very enjoyable experience. This was due to my tour guide, Camellia, who was extremely personable, bubbly, knowledgeable and very friendly. Camellia provided lots of information and interesting history and facts about the city. I particularly liked the pre-tour communications received from Camellia via WhatsApp prior to the tour and the pickup at my hotel was seamless. The highlight of the tour was Camillia teaching me how to walk across the street confidently, even though cars and motorbikes were coming at me from all directions! A big thank you to our driver as well.
Great tour

5.00This was a very efficient and interesting tour hitting the highlights of Saigon. Our tour guide #Camellia was fantastic, responsive to our group needs (for example, since we all had been to Ben Thanh market, we spent more time at the War Remnants museum). She had good suggestions for how to navigate these important landmarks, and took us through Independence Palace with lots of information. She was friendly and easy to learn from.
Fantastic 4 hour tour
