A guide unravels Saigon’s history, from the 1859 capture of the city by the French to the dramatic period of the 1950s, '60s and '70s.

If you want a compact tour of Ho Chi Min City to see the main sites, this is for you. James' English and knowledge of the sites was excellent. The minibus was modern and air conditioned and Hai a superb, safe driver. We covered the Chinese Pagoda, the President's Palace (not queuing anywhere as James knows his way round well), the War Remnants Museum (sad, poignant and not one to miss) the the Post office with it's wonderful ceiling and then around the Market. Great value for money.
Excellent tour!
